about me - formal
ahem...professional voice
I am a senior at New York University studying computer science and economics. I am primarily interested in web development, 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 technical project/experience also came from AICS during the summer of 2023; several student developers and I created a registration portal that allows parents to seamlessly register their children for AICS classes. The portal also lifted the heavy work operations members used to do in order to enroll a student into classes. As a developer of the registration portal, my primary roles included creating different components for the site such as buttons, alerts, forms, and more with the help of MaterialUI (MUI), styling the entire website with CSS, as well as write backend endpoints to reflect any user input changes within our Firebase database. The project can be found on the projects section of this website.
Additionally, I also was a software engineer intern for Casa Systems (now acquired by CommScope) in 2023. 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 redesigining the client to be more hierarchical (using inheritance). In addition to using thew new code structure, I had to ensure that the C# client can send and receive data to and from the Corelink server. Starting in the Fall of 2024, I will continue to work on the C# client.
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.
I am actively looking for a full time software developer role, so if you have an opportunity open, please feel free to contact me on my contact page!
