Where I'veshipped.

Real teams, real users, real deadlines. From building a global student community in high school, to AI work at an EdTech startup, to backend systems in San José and San Francisco, and now a studio of my own.

Backend lead, Luminara

Software Engineering Intern

Led the backend of an app that makes academic reading accessible: dense text in, clear text out, with the meaning kept.

  • Built most of the Flask backend: file conversion for PDFs, slides, Word docs and photos (with OCR), and back to the original format.
  • Designed the pipeline so a local AI model rewrites only flagged spans, never the whole document, after NLP finds the hard parts.
  • Built secure sign-in with JWT, disposable-email blocking and login rate limiting, plus a personal-dictionary API.
  • Helped teammates with their code and Figma designs, and shipped it all with Docker Compose.

Asset tracking for field teams

Project-Based Software Developer

About 800 cameras, teams across the country, and no single place to see where anything was. So I built one.

  • Built a centralized web-based asset management system for about 800 GoPro cameras used by field teams across the United States.
  • Designed an asset identification and allocation workflow that tracks who owns each camera, whether it's available, and which job site it's on.
  • Worked from the company's San Francisco office to learn the real workflow, then iterated on the system from real-world use.

Features for 30,000+ students

Software Engineering Intern

Shipped a feature for a platform the whole engineering student body can use, and a tool that cut most of the repeated config work.

  • Built an end-to-end professor review feature for a platform serving 30,000+ students, combining student reviews with Rate My Professor data from a GraphQL/Python scraping pipeline.
  • Led a 3-person team to build a Python/Grafanalib wrapper for server monitoring: 10 dashboards with about 70% less repeated time-series config code.
  • Switched from Python into React/JavaScript to ship inside a 12-person engineering team, helping cut duplicate work across features.

Teaching models to see

AI Intern

My first real AI work: cleaning large image datasets and training models to classify them, before I'd even started college.

  • Built end-to-end Python pipelines with Pandas and OpenCV to process and clean large image datasets.
  • Implemented and tuned image-classification models, reaching over 85% validation accuracy.
  • Automated data-visualization dashboards summarizing key image metrics, so project leads got insights faster.

The Creative Crowd · TCC

I built a global student community in high school.

What started as a WhatsApp group grew into a community of 800+ students from 20+ countries, one of the fastest-growing student communities on WhatsApp in India at the time. We ran workshops, career bootcamps and internship opportunities with industry mentors.
