ahem...professional voice

I am a engineer in the Engineering Development Group at MathWorks. Previously, I did my masters at Cornell Tech and my bachelors at New York University. I am primarily interested in fullstack development, accessible computer science education, and "tech for fun".

In the past, I have served as a computer science instructor for KTByte Computer Science Academy as well as the Acton Institute of Computer Science (AICS). KTByte uses the fun Processing library to teach students not only to code, but also show them what their code looks like in the form of games or simple animations. At KTByte, I have taught an assortment of lessons, ranging from group lessons, trial lessons for prospective students, and 1 on 1 lessons. At AICS, I taught a beginner Python class and handled operations such as class registration, and ensuring graders were grading assignments in a timely manner.

My first internship took place in the summer of 2023, where I was a software engineer intern for Casa Systems (now acquired by CommScope). During my time at Casa Systems, I was tasked to write a tool in C that helps parse L2TP Wireshark files to detect packet loss within files. Previously, employees would have to spend days figuring out whether packet loss existed in these files and where the packet loss existed. With my tool, employees can run the script on a particular file to immediately detect packet loss.

In 2024, I was a software engineer for NYU's HSRN team, where I (re)worked on the NYU Corelink server's C# client. My responsibilities included redesigning the client to be more hierarchical (using inheritance). In addition to using the new code structure, I had to ensure that the C# client can send and receive data to and from the Corelink server.

In the summer of 2024, I was a Web Developer Intern for WSP. At WSP, I was tasked to redesign the UI of the Riser Diagram Generator, which is an add-in part of Revit. Using Bootstrap CSS, Typescript, and React.js, I was able to completely change the UI of the add in so that it is much easier for users to navigate. I also created tests for the UI using Cypress to make sure the application was running as expected. The internship was an incredibly interesting experience, as most of the people working there have a background in civil, structural, and/or mechanical engineering. It was interesting to see how software could be applied to an industry that isn't usually associated with software development. In addition, I was a hackNY fellow, which you can read more about here.

Last year, I was an intern at Charles River Development (CRD), where I was tasked to create a tool within CRD's internal product, which helps display various information about IPREO Muni's bonds. I gained hands on experience with creating a Java Springboot Microservice and SQL, while also educating myself on various financial terms and tools people use!

I am curious to participate in any open source projects, particularly those that are concerning accessible education or animal welfare! Please contact me at my contact page if you have any leads!
