I taught upper class high school students calculus and pre-calculus and prepared them for the material they would encounter during the school year.

My position was working as a lead where we focused on improving the website’s layout and improving its features such as the removal of the self-registering option that was originally implemented, amongst others. This project focused on reducing the 1:1050 counselor-to-student ratio that plagues California. During the summer of 2018, I did hands-on work with the app. I updated the scholarship database queried in PostgreSQL using CSV Excel worksheets, allowing for student users to view and directly access scholarship information. I also improved the UX/UI by removing the ability for users to self-register for added security measures while giving counselors ability to add and invite their own students. ### Engage Scholar @ Pinterest Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area As an Engage Scholar, I participated in a series of interactive sessions focused on technical and professional development for freshman and sophomore computer science majors.
