Career & Experience

Software Engineer Intern

Echostar · June 2025 - August 2025

Increased contract revenue by replacing a legacy Python system with a mission-critical network monitor in Go. The new system eliminated a 10% billing data loss rate and cut CPU usage by 50%. Deployed via Docker on 200+ aircraft (ex: Delta), it ensures SLA compliance by performing real-time tests, with results directly determining percentage-based payments from partners.

Software Engineer Intern

Children's National Hospital · September 2024 - May 2025

As part of a university club partnership, developed a real-time medical monitoring system to prevent respiratory emergencies in children. I optimized the BLE data link between the sensor and hub, increasing data throughput by 10x for accurate anomaly detection. The system features a Flutter app for instant emergency alerts, with a backend using TimescaleDB and PostgreSQL.

Software Engineer Intern

Relentless Returns · January 2025 - May 2025

As the first engineering intern at an SEC-registered investment startup, I collaborated directly with the founders to build core product features. I developed the client-facing KYC onboarding form in React and built the Express.js backend that automated monthly statements and real-time trade confirmations via Supabase and Alpaca APIs.

Software Engineer Intern

Tramona · September 2024 - December 2024

Developed a full-stack platform for a startup that helps Airbnb hosts fill vacant rental nights. I reduced booking calendar page load times by 50% through memoization and lazy loading, and implemented a key feature allowing hosts to manage their reservation availability.

Software Engineer

App Development Club at UMD · January 2024 - May 2025

As a software engineer in a club collaborating with clients like Amazon and MITRE, I helped rebuild the club's official website using React, TypeScript, and TailwindCSS to improve our public presence and member recruitment.
