biomedical papers to the public; earned a chance to present the project to the company founders, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg• Doing all things data infrastructure (Snowflake, Mode, data pipelines), backend (Ruby on Rails, data pipelines, Google API integration), databases (Snowflake, Postgres), and a bit of front-end product work (React) From March 2018 to June 2019 (1 year 4 months) Redwood City, CaliforniaSoftware Engineer @ Plaid • Member of the backend engineering team with responsibilities in building new features, recruiting and interviewing, expanding existing product features, and other engineering related tasks• Won a top prize in an internal hackathon by building a public, open-source Ruby SDK for the second major iteration of Plaid's API product, enabling ease of use and access for individuals wanting to utilize Plaid: https://github.com/plaid/plaid-ruby• Drove and built projects, primarily in Typescript, to add support for hundreds of additional financial institutions, enabling reliable, low-latency access through Plaid to many institutions that were previously either hardly supported or not supported at all• Worked with enterprise customers to design and implement deadline sensitive features in our Go API• Awarded top prize in an internal hackathon working with a team to build large-scale automation tools to aid in the integrity and scaling of how we handle supported financial institutions• Collaborated to bring multiple new backend services projects to completion, helping drastically improve the scalability, reliability, and extensibility of Plaid's technology stack (internal handling of institutions data, traffic balancing and smoothing) From January 2017 to March 2018 (1 year 3 months) San Francisco, CaliforniaSoftware Engineering Intern @ Tinder, Inc. • Interned on the backend team and primarily worked on an internal high priority development tool which was an important effort to save development time and to scale the engineering team• Created an onboarding code lab for new backend engineers which walks them through setting up a simple project and landing the code and worked to fix bugs on Tinder's Node.js backend within the first week of the internship• Collaborated with one other engineer in an effort to revamp one of our high priority internal tools by building new features in Golang, cleaning up old features, and moving old features from BASH to Golang, drastically reducing development overhead From September 2016 to January 2017 (5 months) West Hollywood, CaliforniaSoftware Engineering Intern @ Facebook • Worked on the Facebook Privacy and Trust Team to aid in engineering efforts that help users understand and control who can access their content and also make Facebook a product and company that people can trust• Iterated on PHP, JavaScript, and React based tools along with numerous Facebook code abstractions to make various major improvements that greatly reduce the overhead and complications previously needed to deploy P&T products• Designed and implemented a dashboard using PHP, JavaScript, and Facebook internal tools that allows efficient tracking and management of P&T products along with a multitude of useful metrics on each product• Built a long-time requested feature, allowing translation, transmission, and display of special text, on a number of platforms including web, mobile web, Android, and iOS by using React Native, Relay, Android development tools, Buck, and GraphQL From June 2016 to September 2016 (4 months) Menlo Park, CaliforniaUndergraduate Researcher, Networking Group @ California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology • Collaborated with a Professor along with her team to redesign a user interface for an Android network monitoring application designed to prevent privacy leaks and keep track of networking processor on the mobile device• Partook in weekly research meetings to discuss design, implementation, and the future of the product, along with other research-related topics including paper writing, competition, and academic gatherings• Utilized the Mockplus tool to design a modern looking user interface through rapid development and quick iterations From October 2015 to June 2016 (9 months) Irvine, CaliforniaSoftware Engineering Intern @ Xumo • Pushed code fixing major bugs in a widely used caption conversion script within the first week of the internship• Constructed MySQL queries in a plugin for Nagios monitoring software to monitor critical columns in a MySQL database• Built a program that fixed a bug with an open-source JavaScript framework, FFmpeg, where HLS durations are often incorrect; this program utilized a multitude of methods to calculate the duration of an HLS streams to find the most accurate result• Implemented a Python Flask web application that allowed editing of a server-side configuration file from the client, which includes strict form verification, query for configuration file format from a MySQL database, JSON generation for transporting the configuration file, and cross-application communication APIs From February 2016 to May 2016 (4 months) Irvine, CaliforniaUndergraduate Researcher, Software Development Engineer @ California Plug Load Research Center • Assumed the role of project lead for the second iteration of a project that aims to raise energy awareness through building a power strip (SparkyStrip) that allows devices to be plugged in, computes and displays information to the user including duration that the device has been plugged in, information about power and energy consumption, and the type of device identified through a machine learning model• Managed the product through collaboratively brainstorming design, implementation, improvements, and modifications that could be done on top of the first iteration of the SparkyStrip• Designed and implemented a linear regression machine learning model that takes power and energy readings as data points for training and then identifies newly plugged in devices based on data points previously used to train the device• Improved upon the existing code by refactoring, optimization, and adding to the product API the ability to interact with the machine learning code From October 2015 to March 2016 (6 months) Irvine, CaliforniaSoftware Engineering Intern @ Arista Networks • Developed features and bug fixes for the multi-chassis link aggregation functionality (MLAG) on Arista’s network switches and Arista’s Linux-based Extensible Operating System•

power and energy monitoring, device identification without user input, and an easy way to access the given information from the strip• Assembled functions and controls in C++ for an Arduino and an Adafruit Wi-Fi shield that allowed the Arduino to find and connect to a Wi-Fi network and continuously send several bytes of data to a local Python server through a TCP socket• Built a local networking server in Python that constantly listens for data from a TCP socket connected to the Arduino, parses and creates a JSON object from the data, and sends the JSON object to both a local storage file and a web-hosted MongoDB• Implemented an API and server network protocol that allows other users with server information to easily interact with the server and the database• Strengthened
