Professional Experience

• Microsoft (Aug 2022)

  I am an incoming Software Engineer at Microsoft.

• Capital One (Jun 2021 - Aug 2021)

  At Capital One, I got experience working with machine learning for consumer & small business banking architecture. Specifically, I employed the use of word embedding and natural language processing techniques in a supervised machine learning task. Working with AWS, PyTorch, PySpark, Snowflake, and Databricks I trained models as well as performed cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning to increase the language models' accuracies. Additionally, I was able to give a talk on the basics of PyTorch to a panel of interns and engineers.

• Hayward Quartz Technology (Jun 2019 - Aug 2019), (Jun 2020 - Aug 2020)

  As a Software Engineer Intern, I developed an inventory management platform using Java, MongoDB, and Microsoft Access (later updated using Electron & Node.js, with GUI testing done via Selenium), as well as worked with other engineering interns to measure and manage furance output data. Specifically, I created a GUI using Python and Tkinter. My applications are being used by employees on the production floor as well as supervisors and executives to make informed decisions and prepare the data for audits.

Campus Involvement

• Staff (Feb 2019 - Present)

  I am on the infrastructure development team for MechMania, the AI hackathon at Reflections | Projections, the annual UIUC student-run tech conference. The infrastructure handles matchmaking, team registration, tournament logic, and connecting teams.

• Undergraduate Research Assistant (Feb 2019 - Dec 2019)

  I worked with Thong Nguyen under the advice of Prof. Jose Schutt-Aine at the University of Illinois Electromagnetics Laboratory as an Undergraduate Research Assistant to develop a web-based circuit simulator and assignment submission platform. Both tools will be used by ECE 400/500 level courses to enhance the educational experience. I presented my progress over the course of the Spring 2019 semester at the PURE Research Symposium.
