Work Experience

Software Engineering Intern

May 2020 - August 2021

During my first internship at Amazon, I worked on the Alexa engineering team. I designed and implemented a PHP script that programmatically reduced the complexity of Amazon Alexa’s natural language generation templates by 7%. I also expanded Amazon Alexa’s ability to generate cross-topic answers.

During my second internship at Amazon, I built custom tooling that enabled Alexa knowledge engineers to more easily configure Alexa’s natural language understanding settings. I designed MySQL tables and php caching mechanisms that were integrated into Alexa’s production Q&A system.

Software Engineering Intern

May - August 2019

At UPS, I worked primarily with Java Spring Boot and Microsoft Azure to create and deploy an API-based email service, improve efficiency of database queries in production, and deploy a key vault that made UPS customs applications both more efficient and secure.

Software Engineering Intern

May 2018 - May 2019

I worked at Itential as a software engineering intern for two semesters.

In my first semester, I created a Microsoft Azure adapter using Node.js and RESTFUL APIs and a web application using HTML, Ajax and Bootstrap that hosted real-time data of all private repositories in the company. I gained experience with network automation and programmable networking as well as Docker, Node.js, and mongoDB.

In my second semester, I built on my Node.js and web programming skills to help develop two customer-facing applications using React.js and Node.js that automated time-consuming customer tasks and slashed service adapter integration from a multi-week process to less than a week.

Other Interests

Piano

From classical to pop, I enjoy playing all types of music. I've played piano since I was 5 years old, and have participated in many competitions.

Notable achievements:

  • 1st place All-State (2014-2017)
  • 2nd place National League Showcase Competition at Carnegie Hall (2016)

Tennis

Game, set, and match! Tennis is one of my favorite hobbies, and my go-to activity after finishing a tough day of classes or waking up on a bright and sunny Saturday morning. I started playing tennis at the end of middle school, and have played competitively throughout high school, including doubles on our high school's Varsity team and singles at USTA ranked tournaments.

Photography

As an aspiring photographer, I enjoy all different types of photography, from portrait photography to cityscapes and nature photography. I love how photography can capture people and places in ways that words, or even physical experience itself, cannot, and enjoy people's reactions as they light up after I take their photo.

Graphics Design

Graphics design is another hobby I enjoy. I taught myself graphics design using Bryce 6 and Lightwave, and have created many 3D renderings including 3D object models, landscapes, and animations.
