About Me

Work Experience:

Amazon | Boston, MA

Software Development Engineer Intern
June 2024 – August 2024

• Worked in the Artificial General Intelligence team.
• Built a DES in SimPy to model behavior in Alexa’s nodes under varying packet loads, with experiment reproducibility.
• Engineered C++ automation tooling to interface with internals, feeding packets of variable sizes to measure latency.
• Processed and statistically analyzed 100k+ CSV/JSON logs with Python to capture patterns and generate insights.
• Fitted empirical models (85% accuracy) to latency data with Matplotlib, informing scalability to large-scale workloads.

Curriculum Specialist, Intern
July 2021 – Present

• As an Intern since July 2021 and Curriculum Specialist after three years, wrote 300+ math problems for competitions aimed at elementary, middle, and high school students.
• Lead writer for the Number Sense Challenge, a speed-based challenge for elementary school students.
• In 2022-2023, was the lead instructor for the middle school AfterMath program, which goes over problems from the middle school contests.

Graduate Research Mentor
June 2025 – August 2025

• Worked in the Games and Finite Geometry team of the Polymath Jr REU, advised by Dr. Timothy Goldberg (Lenoir-Rhyne University) and Dr. Lauren Rose (Bard College).
• Mentored 20 undergraduates on a research problem of the real-time card game Quads through weekly reading sessions.
• Wrote 2 C++ scripts to find the maximum number of quads, one recursive and one using the Moser-de Bruijn sequence.
• Optimized recursion in Rust, reducing runtime by over 400% via multithreading, specifying targets, and early exiting.
• Proved bounds on the maximum number of quads in a deck of size a power of 2.

Georgia Tech School of Mathematics | Atlanta, GA

Research Assistant
August 2023 – Graduation

• Advised by Dr. Ernie Croot.
• In 2023-2024, we explored bijections of counting problems to spanning trees and explored ways to use the Matrix-Tree Theorem to strengthen known bounds on the counting of configurations.
• In 2024-2025, we worked on finding asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the size of a maximal induced forest in grid graphs over a result by Noga Alon from 2001.
• In 2025-2026, we are working on a simpler but related problem involving 4-cycle avoidance in induced subgraphs of 2D grid graphs.
• First-author a WIP paper estimated to be completed in mid-2026.

Georgia Tech School of Electrical and Computer Engineering | Atlanta, GA

Research Assistant
August 2023 – December 2023

• Worked in the Retrofuturistic Hardware team under Prof. Aaron Lanterman.
• Translated docs of the Japanese NEC PC-FX game console to English, storing 12 files of 15k+ lines in Github Pages.
• Researched the PC-FX’s address map, register list, and I/O access space and the specs of its sound processing device.
• Analyzed the C Compiler of the GMAKER Starter Kit (processing flow/registers), allowing user-made software to run.
• Wrote graphical software in C with the kit to run on the PC-FX to showcase its usability to a team of 3 and a professor.
