Experience
My journey through software engineering, data science, and research.
Software Development Engineer Intern
Amazon Web Services
Designed and launched an operations tool enabling compliant configuration updates for GuardDuty’s anomaly detection systems, featuring built-in validation and version tracking. Developed supporting automation tools—including a wrapper script and cross-region analytics—that streamline safe workflows, accelerate audits across hundreds of regions, and reduce engineer and customer-impacting errors.
Student Researcher
UCLA Medical Imaging and Informatics Lab
Trained and evaluated a Gaussian Hidden Markov Model using 20+ behavioral features from 200K users to model behavior change stages and enable early prediction of behavioral decline. Coauthored a paper (under review) on predictive modeling for identifying users most likely to benefit from eHealth apps, and presented findings to primary care physicians on using simulation modeling to guide chronic kidney disease care.
Software Engineer Intern
Walmart
Built an internal web tool with dynamic query links and interactive error API tables to streamline database access, reducing engineer overhead by 10–15 minutes daily. Integrated Swagger/OpenAPI across multiple backend services to standardize API design, improve documentation, and ensure forward compatibility.
Teaching Assistant
UCLA Computer Science Department
Teach programming fundamentals in weekly sections for 60 students and provide office hour support for a 260-student upper-division CS course, emphasizing guided problem-solving and project-based learning. Manage course logistics—including assignment lifecycles, Campuswire support, and exam administration—to maintain smooth operations and timely issue resolution.
Information Technology Intern
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company
Built a notifications and analytics app to help an external department with error correction (Microsoft Power Platform).
