As a Teacher's Assistant at Princeton, I held office hours and graded papers/tests for a functional programming course in OCaml. I worked hands-on with students to improve their understanding of the material and reinforce good coding practices. One of the most rewarding parts of this role was the opportunity to mentor students directly, helping them grasp complex concepts and develop a strong foundation in functional programming. This experience not only deepened my knowledge of OCaml but also… Show more As a Teacher's Assistant at Princeton, I held office hours and graded papers/tests for a functional programming course in OCaml.

At Mercury, I coordinated with a team of developers in planning, outlining, and implementing backend solutions to improve and optimize risk investigation tooling and check deposit processes. I developed a Haskell backend project to automate the check deposit reversal process, leading the project’s design, collaborating on code reviews, and deploying the finished result. This initiative led to significant time savings and process improvements for risk investigators, ultimately reducing check… Show more At Mercury, I coordinated with a team of developers in planning, outlining, and implementing backend solutions to improve and optimize risk investigation tooling and check deposit processes. I developed a Haskell backend project to automate the check deposit reversal process, leading the project’s design, collaborating on code reviews, and deploying the finished result. This initiative led to significant time savings and process improvements for risk investigators, ultimately reducing check decision reversal times by 50%. One of the most rewarding parts of my work was the opportunity to collaborate closely with my team, which fostered a strong culture of code reviews and collective problem-solving. Show less

At Impact Media 360 Inc., I developed a backend server for a mental health web app. I implemented the app, which enables an individual to crowd source a positive sense of self for themselves or a loved one, using JavaScript, Python in addition to various NLP technologies. I worked directly with founders/CEO to brainstorm, present ideas, and communicate progress in developing the alpha prototype to be pitched to investors.

I worked directly with founders/CEO to brainstorm, present ideas, and communicate progress in developing the alpha prototype to be pitched to investors. One of the most rewarding parts of my work was the opportunity for me to lead weekly meetings with a Princeton PhD candidate in the NLP field to develop and sharpen ideas which were eventually implemented in web app. Throughout the internship, he mentored me and challenged me to think in more innovative ways about the design and implementation of the technology.
