CS389L: Graduate Automated Logical Reasoning
I served as a teaching assistant for 60 UT Austin Master's and Ph.D. students in Professor Isil Dillig's CS389L: Graduate Automated Logical Reasoning class during the Spring of 2019. I graded their weekly proof-based homeworks, helped grade their midterm exam and their final exam, and held well-attended weekly office hours.
Amazon Japan
I interned at Amazon in their Tokyo, Japan office during the summer after my sophomore year of college. I worked on machine vision algorithms to track real-time, location-based purchase trends in order data
Originate
I interned at Originate in their Manhattan, NYC office during the summer after my freshman year of college. Originate is a mid-sized software consulting company. I mainly did distributed computing work for data center workload analysis with Scala + Spark + Cassandra.
The MITRE Corporation
I interned at the MITRE Corporation in the Federal Aviation Administration Department during the summer before junior year and the summer before senior year of high school. My natural language processing research improved the Closed Runway Operations Prevention Device (CROPD) which helps air traffic controllers prevent plane crashes.
nclud
I interned at nclud, a Washington DC based web design firm, during Spring Break of my junior year of high-school. My work was primarily in JavaScript, including the Meteor framework and ThreeJS animations (shown above).
