## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Apple
Jan 2023 – Present | Sunnyvale, California, United States

### Software Engineer @ Google
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Sunnyvale, California, United States
Cloud - Technical Infrastructure - Unified Fulfillment Optimization

SWE data center planning: Google’s data center planning impacts all Google’s internal and external services, providing storage and computing power to support production data processing for flagship products such as Ads, Search, Youtube, and GCP.

Data center rack packing automation: Collaborated with cross-functional teams involving the collection of requirements, design, execution, and testing of a system that significantly streamlined data center rack packing and modeling processes, leading to a savings of thousands of SWE work hours.

Change Management: Executed the design and development of Change Management System within the data center planning pipeline workflow, Effectively managing over $100M worth of hardware. This highly available (99.99%) distributed system reduced the on-call workload and provided guarantees of data integrity.

Team contributions: Collaborated on multiple on-call rotations to ensure seamless service updates and releases, exceeding 99.9% uptime for main services.
