Software Engineer Intern

Droisys

Jul 2025 - Sep 2025 (3 months)

As a Software Engineering Intern at Droisys, I engineered an AI-powered sales platform that reduced pitch preparation time from 3+ hours to 30 minutes for 100+ wine brands. Using GPT-4 and StabilityAI APIs, I built a system that automated the generation of customized presentations and dynamic visuals, allowing sales teams to respond to opportunities much faster. I developed 8+ RESTful API endpoints with FastAPI and asynchronous request handling, achieving sub-220ms response times and 99.5% uptime during peak usage. By integrating Pydantic schemas for validation and containerizing the application with Docker, I reduced runtime errors by 60% and cut deployment setup time from 30 minutes to under 5 minutes.

Technical Project Manager Intern

The AI Collective, UC Davis

Apr 2025 - Jun 2025 (3 months)

• Led a group 5 people to create an ML classification model project in a 6 week sprint

M

Machine Learning Research Intern

Jan 2025 - Current (1 year 8 months)

As a Computer Science Research Intern at UC Davis's computational neuroscience lab, I'm working on behavioral analysis of data on Autism Spectrum Disorder in children. I built an automated MRI processing pipeline that reduced analysis time from 8 hours to 45 minutes while achieving 97% accuracy in clinical predictions. Working with FreeSurfer and Python, I parallelized the segmentation of 100+ pediatric brain scans through batch processing and optimized I/O operations, accelerating the research team's ability to analyze clinical data. I developed classification and statistical analysis pipelines with scikit-learn and pandas to process 200+ patient records, implementing machine learning models with feature extraction and cross-validation tha

Software Engineer Intern

TerraAi

Jul 2024 - Jan 2025 (7 months)

As a Full Stack Developer Intern at TerraAI, I implemented a comprehensive testing infrastructure that achieved 95% test coverage and zero critical production issues throughout my internship. I built 6 responsive web pages using React and Node.js with reusable component architecture, reducing code redundancy by 30% and making the codebase easier to maintain as the platform scaled. I designed a scalable SQL database schema with 10+ tables optimized for efficient data retrieval, and created an automated testing suite with 50+ unit tests using Jest to validate every code change. This testing-first approach caught bugs early in development and gave the team confidence to ship features quickly without breaking existing functionality.

M

Mobile Application Developer

Oct 2023 - Jul 2024 (10 months)

Data Science Intern

AI Camp

Jun 2023 - Jul 2023 (2 months)

As a Data Science Intern at AI Camp, I built a data science project analyzing workplace mental health that uncovered key correlations between company policies and employee well-being across a comprehensive Kaggle dataset. Using Python with Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Pandas, I cleaned and processed the data to create interactive visualizations revealing how factors like remote work options and mental health benefits impacted employee outcomes. By transforming complex survey data into clear, insightful charts, I demonstrated how data-driven insights can help organizations identify which workplace factors most strongly influence mental health and create more supportive work environments for their teams.
