I architected end-to-end Python workflows in direct collaboration with the CEO to enhance deployment pipelines, upgrade cycles, and client–server communication for greater efficiency. My work included automating CI/CD pipelines and unit testing workflows to reduce manual testing time by 30%, while implementing secure encryption and logging frameworks using Sentry to strengthen development reliability. I also engineered firmware enhancements supporting dynamic MIDI control systems for the Mosi Nova, the synth guitar recognized as a South by Southwest (SXSW) Innovation Award finalist. By delivering critical software-hardware integrations, I contributed to enabling intuitive and expressive sound interaction for musicians at scale.

As part of the executive team, I represented Open Projects (an inclusive, student-led tech community at UC Berkeley) to external partners, supporting our mission of democraticizing accessible, impactful project work for all interested students (regardless of experience level). I oversaw and assisted Project Managers in sourcing student-led and client-based projects, stepped in to secure partnerships when needed, and planned external-facing events such as speaker panels, datathons, and cross-club professional initiatives to expand opportunities and visibility for our members.

I supported the operational and organizational foundation of Open Project by helping manage student project teams, tracking progress, facilitating team-wide check-ins and bonding events, and improving internal workflows. I also contributed to building OpenPortal, our new tool for applications, member management, and resource centralization, helping streamline the Project Manager experience and enhance the overall club community.

I was also honored as the sole recipient of the Founder's Award out of over 200 members, recognizing outstanding leadership, collaboration, and inclusivity within Open Project. This award reflects my commitment to fostering a supportive team culture, strengthening cross-team communication, and contributing positively to the overall Open Project community.

I led the technical development of an automated healthcare billing venture, backed by Berkeley Haas Startup Seed Funding (including the Trione Student Venture Fund and the Sega Sammy Fund for New Media). I focused on optimizing the platform’s Agentic PDF Extraction and HIPAA-compliant infrastructure to automate medical coding and insurance claims. My work is centered on transitioning the MVP into a production-ready system designed to save independent practices 15+ hours of administrative work per week and significantly reduce revenue loss from denied insurance claims.

I led a cross-functional team of 10 engineers at CoPatible to develop a voice-first social discovery platform for San Francisco-based founders, supported by an ElevenLabs Startup Grant. I managed the end-to-end development of our full-stack MVP—integrating a React frontend with a Python-based backend and Supabase—to architect seamless human-AI workflows. My work focused on integrating ElevenLabs’ conversational AI for real-time user intake and designing AI-powered matching logic that connects founders based on life chapters and sentiment.
