Mindtrip

Software Engineer Intern – Summer 2023

At Mindtrip, a dynamic startup leveraging LLMs for streamlined travel planning and bookings, I spearheaded the deployment of robust admin panels using JavaScript frontend and Ruby on Rails backend through Retool. This empowered our engineering team with comprehensive database insights, enabling seamless actions such as deactivation or editing of entries, enhancing operational efficiency and informed decision-making.

Bugcrowd

Associate Application Security Engineer – Summer 2020

At Bugcrowd, a crowd-sourced cybersecurity company, I orchestrated bug triage operations, conducting deep security research and assessing submissions from varied backgrounds and all around the world. I collaborated closely with our ISV customers, spanning Fortune 500 companies and prominent technology firms, to expedite bug fixes, enhance system resilience, and ensure long-term preventive measures.

Sparkiverse

Teacher – Jan 2020 – Jul 2020

At Sparkiverse, an elementary after-school program, I guided elementary school students in engaging coding and math activities within an after-school program at a Palo Alto public school. I was able to simplify technical processes like logic gates for the students to understand. I demonstrated adaptability and leadership by seamlessly transitioning the program to virtual platforms during the Covid pandemic, utilizing Zoom and Minecraft to maintain an interactive and effective learning experience.

University Club of Palo Alto

Lifeguard – Jun 2018 – Jan 2020

I demonstrated invaluable leadership qualities. I’ve developed skills in crowd management and emergency response while showcasing the ability handle complex and difficult situations with grace and the commitment to keep our community safe.

“Hack Something”

Github link

For our final project in my Introduction to Computer Security class, we were told to “hack something” and write a report about it. We found we were able to hack over a hundred security cameras on campus. From there we were able to stream the individual jpegs from the video to our own website and youtube. We added motion tracking and person tracking to show the security risk involved.

Subletify (original)

Github link

This past summer I was a little bored and decided to work on a project that would help some fellow students of mine. I started making Subletify, a mobile app where college students could find other students to sublet to or from. I made it through the login page, create account page, and a little of the main page before school started. I had never coded an app before and learned as I went.

AWS Projects (slightly deprecated)

• News website
• Calendar

These websites (among a handful of others) were for my Rapid Prototype Development and Creative Programming classes. They were on AWS EC2 instances that have since been halfway shut down or shut down completely. These are the two left. Other projects included chat rooms using socket and an eBay-like eCommerce site.

Washu Hacks 2023 Hackathon

Over the course of 30 hours, me and three others remade Subletify (as a webpage this time), where college students can find other students to sublet to or from. Our tech stack consisted of Javascript, React.js, and Supabase as our database. We achieved the majority of our main goals including a login, a feed, and a messaging system. Subletify won first place in the social network category out of fifty projects. link

St. Louis Tutor Me Program

I tutor children of all ages (K-12) in math and reading. Most recently I spent a semester helping a 2nd grader catch up in math and reading after he fell behind. It’s been of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.

WashU Votes

Voting rights are one of the most important pieces of a democracy. Through WashU votes I have helped register other students and St. Louisans to vote. I have set up and ran voting booths as well as helped increase awareness of elections and voting law changes. I also traveled to the state capital of Missouri in Jefferson City to talk to state senators and congress people about voting rights.

WashU Gymnastics Club

Gymnastics is one of my biggest passions. I started in third grade and never looked back. I was at Stanford Boys Gymnastics, an extremely competitive gymnastics club, all the way through high school. At WashU, I’ve come to love the amazing team and learned to practice and compete in a whole new setting.
