As a Software Engineer for Xbox Player Support Experience team, my most recent work included cloud-native migrations and modernizing backend systems. Key aspects of this experience include fully migrating legacy workflow services to Azure Durable Functions. This initiative resulted in built-in auto-scaling, pay-per-use cost savings, improved telemetry, and the elimination of single-point failures across critical pipelines. I acted as the subject-matter expert for the XIP Jobs system, which involved merging over 100 pull requests, performing more than 200 code reviews, and resolving over 50 live-site incidents during 20+ on-call rotations. During each migration, I redesigned user interfaces, introducing a component-based React pattern and establishing the coding standard now used across new XIP jobs. I also participated in integrations with various organizations within the company. This work involved defining secure authentication contracts and data flows that reduced partner onboarding time. To improve engineering practices, I created reusable tools, such as a Durable-Functions helper library, to streamline developer workflows and save engineering time on subsequent migrations. Additionally, I introduced two-tier dev-spec templates that cut late-stage review churn by approximately 40%.

I have been designing and implementing an app that is helping people become better storytellers by providing a quick way to learn. To carry out my project, I have utilized React Native, Typescript, GraphQL, and Firebase to build a native iOS and Android apps achieving high code reusability. My end goal for this project is helping students and professionals in my network to become better storytellers to help their communication skills and personal development. Throughout this project, I received experience in distributed systems, machine learning, database design, and API usage.

I have mentored 30 underclass minority scholars by conducting workshops to develop professional and academic skills in a college atmosphere. I also Supported the creation of documents to assist with the promotion, operations, and budgeting of the program. At times I have, helped the director in managing and instructing courses on diversity and leadership.

I worked on the Growth Engineering team on Azure.com to improve the customer experience with experimentation. I used different experimentation tools and techniques to assist in conducting the tests. I've been able to create and validate A/B tests running across the site using a mixture of tools. In my time, I was able to help the team take steps towards launching a personalized site experience on Azure.com for different visitors. I have assisted in implementing advanced JSLL analytics across various Azure.microsoft.com touchpoints to gather a bit of information about visitors. Overall this internship was a great learning experience and intro into what it's like to work as a developer.
