▪ Performed code reviews on 45 student assignments / proofs weekly, providing constructive feedback to ensure students wrote clean, correct, and maintainable code and succinct, logically sound proofs.▪ Led weekly mentor sessions, labs, and learning communities for 15-30 students, fostering a collaborative learning environment and improving student assignment performance through personalized guidance.▪ Helped students with no previous CS experience or background solidify their understanding of fundamental CS concepts.

▪ Simplified 1k medical texts using GPT4o API and compared with original texts by developing two novel metrics utilizing Natural Language Processing techniques to identify the simplified texts that were most likely to contain false content.▪ Developed an efficient dynamic programming algorithm to align sentences between similar texts to both aid manual comparison and provide a novel automatic metric score on overall text similarity.▪ Designed a proof of concept for a tool to aid writers in simplifying medical texts by evaluating simplified texts on 4 similarity and simplicity metrics and flagging sentences that were most likely to be overly aggressively simplified.▪ Experimented with alternative simplification methods, resulting in significant improvements in metric performance.

▪ Coordinated with advisor to investigate three metrics used for overlapping community detection.▪ Analyzed the behavior and theoretical limits of these three metrics with key networks, and how these change over time.▪ Collected and analyzed metric results from seven community detection algorithms on eight real-world networks, contributing valuable insights for analyzing and improving algorithmic performance.▪ Presented reports using LaTeX, outlining significant findings and observations from data analysis, serving as foundational resources for the research paper.

▪ Investigated possible integration between MS Power Automate and the application by designing and building a proof of concept that led to an 80% reduction in application testing time within the company.▪ Implemented SQL queries to measure database performance to increase the efficiency of the development process by locating bottlenecks within the development process.▪ Optimized a SQL stored procedure, reducing runtime from ~800s to ~30s for the largest databases, significantly improving the development process efficiency.▪ Developed C# integration tests to ensure correctly sanitized data and guarantee application viability for millions of users.

Tutored students of ages 9-18, primarily high school students of ages 16-18, in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Music Theory, Piano Lessons, and SAT Preparation.Improved grades of 100% of tutees, with many from C grades to A grades.

Taught several small classes (around 5 to 10 students) of intelligent students of ages 9 to 12. Taught mathematics, particularly algebra, covering content up to NCEA level 1 (age 15-16) algebra.

Explained concepts to students one-on-one and taught classes of 20 to 25 16-18-year-olds.Collaborated with the teacher to identify problem areas for students and explained these one-on-one to improve grades; improved 100% of these students’ grades within the problem areas.
