Software Engineer, Computer Vision, Owligator
San Francisco, CA·May 2025 – Nov 2025Built a real-time CV pipeline on Luxonis DepthAI cameras: YOLOv8 label detection plus OCR to pull structured metadata off wine bottles, a PyTorch U-Net for label segmentation, and a multi-signal matcher (blob geometry, OCR text similarity, custom IDs) that deduplicated inventory automatically.
Software Engineer Intern, Relanto (AI-First Lab)
Fremont, CA·Jun 2025 – Aug 2025Built a retrieval-augmented natural-language-to-SQL pipeline that let non-technical staff query sales and marketing data in plain English. RAG over the schema and example queries kept generations grounded; prompt engineering and error handling cut failed queries; Ollama and Phi-4-mini behind FastAPI kept it fast enough for near-real-time use.
Contract Software Engineer, Agentic Benchmark Design, DataAnnotation
Remote·Aug 2026 – PresentDesign SWE-bench-style benchmarks for evaluating AI coding agents, across licensed open-source repos in TypeScript, Python, and Java. For each: take a real bug or missing feature, stand up a reproducible Docker environment, and write the hidden pytest / JUnit / Jest suite that grades a candidate fix. Calibrate difficulty by running coding agents against the benchmark and reading their failure modes, so it meaningfully separates strong agents from weak ones.
Undergraduate Researcher, SmartGrid Laboratory
Merced, CA·Jan 2025 – Dec 2025Built the Python pipelines that cleaned, labeled, and timestamped 10k+ frames of occupancy data from thermal sensor networks across campus classrooms and labs, then trained a linear regression model to 97% accuracy on occupancy prediction. Started an EnergyPlus simulation as the bridge to a live system: I got as far as a hardcoded rules-based HVAC controller to exercise the simulation loop, with the end goal of the regression model reading live sensor data to auto-adjust HVAC in real buildings.
Software Engineer Intern (Capstone), Agrecom
Merced, CA·Jan 2025 – May 2025Senior capstone: a Power Apps and Dataverse fuel-logging tool for a 25+ vehicle fleet, plus a Power BI dashboard and automated PDF reports. Worked directly with the CEO on scope and presented the finished build at UC Merced's Innovate to Grow.
Front-End Developer Intern, Icarus Development
Remote·Oct 2024 – Jan 2025Shipped a media-rich “Stories” feature for a student social app in React Native and TypeScript, wired to Firebase and Firestore for real-time upload and playback, building to Figma specs with a small cross-functional team.
ServiceNow Student Technology Consultant, UC Merced, Office of Information Technology
Merced, CA·Jul 2024 – Jan 2026Built production ServiceNow request forms and workflow automations for campus IT (UI policies, client scripts, Flow Designer), scoping each release with staff stakeholders and closing 100+ cross-departmental tickets on an Agile cycle.
