## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ AI Insurance
Jan 2025 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States
* Developed features using TypeScript, React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL for insurance underwriting platform

* Implemented OFAC sanctions screening integration using external API with error handling and logging

* Migrated custom field creation system from JSON file-based to database-driven, eliminating 50% of engineering dependency for field creation

### Software Engineer, Grade 7 @ Intel Corporation
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | San Jose, California, United States
* Led a team of 2 engineers to build and ship a new framework to represent IP components in Platform Designer using Java. The framework allows decoupling of components resulting in the main customer eliminating redundant logic for 2000+ parameters.

* Supported primary customer’s release by improving UI response time by 9.8x, prioritizing 19 feature requests, and meeting weekly to align on goals.

* Identified performance bottlenecks in a customer’s primary use case through targeted profiling of 150+ API methods. Decided which to focus on based on potential performance impact and effort required. 

* Improved an API method’s performance by 14% (~700 ms) and reduced the number of command executions from 258 to 29 in one use case by creating a new batch API that avoids repeated Java / Tcl translation.

* Ramped up 3 overseas test engineers to write integration tests for the new framework.

### Software Engineer, Grade 6 @ Intel Corporation

* Developed features for Platform Designer, a system integration tool used by all of Intel’s FPGA customers. Platform Designer is a Java application that runs on Linux and Windows.

* Designed, implemented, and shipped a tool with UI and scripting interfaces to enable parameter configuration and updated code generation.

* Reduced the number of generated simulation files by designing, implementing, and delivering GUI and command-line interfaces for users to specify which files to generate. Implemented the feature in Java for Platform Designer and C++ for Quartus.

### Software Quality Assurance Engineer @ Tech Soft 3D
Jan 2017 – Jan 2020 | Berkeley, California
*Built performance test frameworks for desktop products using C++ and Google Test 

* Developed web application to visualize performance test results using Python, JavaScript, and PostgreSQL 

* Automated cross-platform tests for 3D graphics SDK running on Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, and Android
