I am a recent computer science and applied math graduate from UC Santa Cruz! I learned a ton about software development, computer systems, mathematical modeling, and other stuff there, and I got to apply it through internships at NASA JPL and working in a couple research labs.
Of course, there's still much more for me to learn, so I hope to continue my growth through further work experience and part-time grad school at Georgia Tech, where I am exploring topics in computing systems, machine learning, and more!

Undergraduate Research Assistant
Computational Ecology Lab at UC Santa Cruz | Dec 2021 - Dec 2024
I performed research in efficient connectivity computation for bird species in Python/PyTorch and R, building methods for processing geospatial data and automating input layer generation for our novel connectivity computation algorithm.
Tech4Good Lab at UC Santa Cruz | Sep 2023 - Dec 2024
Over several academic quarters, I led 50+ students in learning web development by collaboratively building web applications for research initiatives in social computing.
Software Engineering Intern
NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) | June 2023 - Aug 2023, June 2024 - Aug 2024
I participated in two internships at JPL, in which I worked with the Deep Space Network Emulator (DSNE) team to produce automation software for creating DSNE configuration files and test scripts.
UC Santa Cruz Open Source Program Office (UCSC OSPO) | Apr 2024 - Sep 2024
I mentored two Google Summer of Code participants in building Causeway, a web application that teaches learners web development using a microrole-based structure, and Compass Goals, one of the exemplar application used in Causeway.
Pintos Projects
Project | Apr 2024 - June 2024
I collaborated with a partner on Stanford's Pintos projects, which involved implementation of support for user programs, virtual memory, and file systems in an existing operating system.
Project | Apr 2023 - June 2023
I worked in a team of six to produce Kakaw!, an application that facilitates learning and review via live quiz sessions.
Psst, there's plenty more to see in my resume!
