## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Northwood
Jan 2026 – Present

### Senior Production Engineer @ Meta
Jan 2021 – Jan 2026 | Menlo Park, California, United States

### Production Engineer @ Meta
Jan 2017 – Jan 2022 | Menlo Park, California, United States

### Summer Undergraduate Research Fellow @ Caltech
Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Caltech
Summer research project with Caltech High Speed Integrated Circuits Lab (CHIC).

Prototyped software to simulate the radiation patterns of an antenna, and iteratively modify the antenna shape to produce a given pattern. This work has applications in automated antenna design.

### Intern @ Pure Storage
Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Mountain View, California
Intern project with the customer escalations team, and one other intern.

Created monitoring service to run developer-created "fingerprint" diagnostics on incoming customer telemetry data. Worked with escalations team to diagnose poorly-performing fingerprints, enabling them to decrease average runtime by 10x. This has since grown into a key tool for the escalations team: https://blog.purestorage.com/products/an-inside-look-at-big-data-predictive-analytics-with-pure1-part-1/

### Counselor @ PROMYS
Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States
PROMYS is a six-week summer math program, where ~90 high school students are introduced to proof-based mathematics, often for the first time. I had been a student there for the previous two summers, and it made a profound impression on me. Because of that, I was very excited to return as a counselor and pay it forward.

As a counselor, I graded students' problem sets, mentored a group research project, gave self-contained topics presentations, and encouraged students to form lifelong connections with other budding mathematicians.

### Intern @ University of Minnesota Center for Magnetic Resonance Research
Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 | Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Created a visualization tool for particular types of brain MRI scans. Diffusion tensor imaging measures how much water can diffuse in a particular direction; this shows the orientation of neurons. This tool plotted these inferred neuron orientations, creating a 3D map of the brain structure.

### Instructor @ St. Paul Academy and Summit School
Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | St Paul, Minnesota, United States
Organized and taught an independent, student-led, computer science study group. (At the time, the school did not have a CS curriculum.) Students took the AP CS A exam at the end of the course.

Worked with faculty to negotiate administrative approval and plan coursework. Gave lectures, graded homework, and wrote quizzes and tests.
