Software Engineer Intern
NCR Corporation
Worked with a team of interns on a summer long project to create an order status board and recreate a self-service kiosk application. The purpose was to improve the user experience for both direct customers and end-users. I lead the other interns, especially after the full-time lead left, in architecting and implementing the project. I worked with the front end developers to create a WebSocket server and REST API using Go, leveraging the Backend-For-Frontend design pattern. I also gathered data through testing and experimenting to redesign the current API integration to support future work and even showcased a prototype that would address technical debt.

Research Assistant
Michigan Ross School of Business
Worked with a marketing Ph.D. student under Professors Aradhna Krishna, S Sriram, and H. V. Jagadish to study effective brand use on social media. I used the Apache Spark library in Python and Twitter's API to analyze terabytes of Twitter data on a High Performance Computing cluster. I filtered tweets by text content using RegEx, content metrics, user data, and nested retweets’ data to retrieve the wanted tweets for the research. A large part of my role was reviewing brand awareness literature and peer reviewed papers in social media context to inform and direct research goals. My largest contribution was extracting and combining embedded retweets in order to form time series of user interaction metrics (likes, coments, retweets) since the Decahose dataset was a snapshot of tweets at creation.

Microsoft TEALS Program
Technology Education and Literacy in Schools, or TEALS, is a program run by Microsoft whose mission is to build sustainable computer science programs in high schools. You can learn more about the program <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/teals">here</a>. In a team of five, I taught fundamentals of computer science to a class of 17 high schoolers using Snap! and Python programming languages. With my team, we adapted and formulated lesson plans, lab materials, and projects with a teaching team for a year of class. We guided and mentored students to build their programming, debugging, and problem-solving skills so that they would be ready for their next step in computer science.

Michigan Finance and Mathematics Society @ University of Michigan
MFAMS is a club at Michigan that is focused on using math and computation in finance. Many of the meetings are education based, furthering my knowledge of computational finance outside of class. Through the club, I've leveraged qualitative and quantitative data to create and present stock pitches for the club to invest and add to its portfolio. I've also been able to apply financial, mathematical, and statistical models.
