Experience

Software Development Engineer

Amazon Robotics

I am currently working to build and maintain a range of automation and self-service solutions for a broad range of Amazon Robotics stakeholders, spanning from support teams to manufactoring. Working across the full tech stack and learning a lot about building scalable solutions, centering user experience, and the world of robotics warehouse logistics.

February 2025 - Present

Research Assistant

Air Partners

Lead data analysis and contributed to publication writing on the effectiveness of air purifier interventions in homes. In my prior work here, I have designed and coded the data analysis pipeline to analyze data from over a hundred deployments. In my student capstone, I project managed a team of eight students for a year through tight deadlines and multiple parallel projects.

May 2023 - February 2025

Quality Analyst

LineVision

In this fast-paced, high-impact position, I directed monitoring, troubleshooting, and escalation for the entire 200+ IoT device fleet. The role involved identifying key areas of inefficiency and automating processes, as well as coordinating issue escalation and resolution with engineering and leadership.

August 2024 - October 2024

Software Intern

Indico Data

I worked on a full-stack project that involved creating an interactive application that leveraged computer vision to automate form data extraction using machine learning. I wrote code for the downstream data processing in Python as well as for the front-end using React.

September 2022 - December 2022

Data Analyst Intern

Los Angeles Mayor's Office

In this role, I was expected to monitor and report COVID-19 trends to emergency management, but I quickly automated nearly all of the pipeline to two scripts I ran twice a week. This gave me time to explore other projects, such as integrating wastewater monitoring into the city's analysis of COVID-19 prevalence, as well as assisting with criteria for a gender equity program.
