Work Experience
Hitachi Vantara
Software Engineer Intern
Aug 2024 — Present- Created an educational dashboard with Microsoft PowerBI and Azure to generate data summaries on employee training and hours logged, optimizing application performance by 32% and enhancing reporting access, increasing insight retrieval 2x faster.
- Developed a C++ script to generate training paths based on employee's career path, using data structures such as decision trees to auto-generate training paths, cutting manual planning time by 13%. The application is currently being utilized to manage all Hitachi Vantara employees (10k).
- I am returning this fall and joining the Services team, fine-tuning LLMs as support agents for Hitachi's storage platforms and educational services.
FUSION at UCI
Project Manager
July 2025 — Present- I am the project manager for FUSION at UCI, working with a team of 4 developers and 1 designer to create a digital study tracking application for an organization of 300 members. As the project manager, I lead sprint planning, managing 40+ GitHub tasks with 100% on-time completion.
- I also trained developers and designers on frameworks such as Next.JS, GitHub, and Figma through documentation and videos, reducing onboarding time by 50% and boosting productivity and collaboration.
Stanford University
Website Developer
June 2025 — Present- I led development for The NOURISH Project, where I streamlined web workflows by introducing a digital asset system (DAS) and content management system (CMS). I also ran training sessions that helped teams manage, reuse, and publish assets more efficiently — boosting available server storage by 40% and accelerating development by 80%.
- I authored a 30-page document detailing step-by-step processes to add content to the website for members to use. I also wrote Javascript code to allow members to automatically render PDFs and images on the website, increasing website traffic by 56% and user satisfaction by 34%.
