This role began as my Senior Design project, eFish n' Sea, and later transitioned into a part-time role following my graduation. I worked in a team with several other software engineering students, as well as an assistant professor, to create a collection of educational games, as well as a website to house them, which aims to teach young students about software efficiency and common sources of inefficiency. This project stemmed from original research conducted by our advisor, which identified common sources of software inefficiencies in open source projects.During the school year, my team and I designed the games with storyboards and developed them using Unity. Toward the end of the school year, we brought our games to a local elementary school to conduct user acceptance testing and gather feedback which would be used to improve upon the project. Additionally, we competed in the Ansary Entrepreneurship Competition 2023, where we pitched our project to panels of mock investors. In this competition, we reached the final round, which consisted of only the top 10 teams out of the hundreds that competed.Following the graduation of my teammates and I, we continued to work on the project with the goal of submitting a research paper to ICSE 2024, an international conference in software engineering. We conducted additional user acceptance testing at summer program sessions and focus groups, and gathered more feedback that was used to improve our games. Additionally, we conducted stress testing to ensure that our website could handle expected levels of user traffic. Ultimately, we compiled our work into a research paper and submitted it to ICSE 2024 in October.

The first project that I worked on took place in the summer of 2022. I worked in a team with other undergraduate and graduate students, as well as an assistant professor. The goal of the project was to conserve energy by detecting resident activity and location within a household, and communicating with smart-home devices to power them off when not in use. I worked on developing a mobile application using Android Studio, which utilized Android's built-in microphone and motion sensors, as well as Google's Activity Recognition Transition API, to detect and determine a user's location and activity. Similarly, I wired and programmed a Raspberry Pi with microphones, photoresistors, and infrared motion sensors to determine activity within a room. We then connected the mobile application and Raspberry Pi to several smart-home devices, including a TV, fan, air conditioning unit, heater, and light, so that the devices may be controlled based on the user's location and activity within the household. I combined my work with that of my teammates, and we compiled everything into a research paper that was submitted and later accepted to ICOST 2023.The second project that I worked on started toward the end of the summer of 2022, and lasted until May of 2023. I worked mostly independently, under the same professor, to develop a virtual reality application that could be used to aid in the rehabilitation process for activities of daily living (ADLs). Using Unity, I developed a realistic apartment environment with several ADLs for a user to practice. At the same time, I conducted research on existing uses of virtual reality in healthcare, and began composing a research paper containing all of my work, which was later submitted and accepted to ICVR 2023. Additionally, I had the opportunity to present my work to a virtual audience of fellow researchers at ICVR.

I worked alongside a team of other technicians to offer various technology services in business and residential environments. These services included the installation and testing of computer labs, network infrastructure, security systems, music & sound systems, televisions, and more.

I delivered food and other items around the greater Freehold area.

I tutored individual students and groups of students in a variety of courses, including Engineering Graphics, Mechanics of Solids, Circuits and Systems, General Chemistry I, and Calculus 2B.

I worked alongside a senior camp counselor to supervise a group of around 20 2nd grade students for 7.5 hours each weekday.

I worked with a team of other caregivers to supervise around 80 students, ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade, for 2 to 3 hours after the school day.
