I’m currently a CS Senior @ Purdue, graduating May 2024! In my final semester of CS, I’m hoping to learn a bunch more about fundamental CS topics, specifically Compilers and Databases. In the past, I really enjoyed coursework with ML, Algorithms, as well as OS - hoping to continue getting out of my comfort zone learning.
Professionally I’ve been all over the place, I’ve recently just completed an internship at Tesla where I worked as a full-stack dev on the Energy Product Software Team. Previously I’ve interned at NASA working on Computer Vision for drones, AWS for application platforms for Machine Learning, and I’ve been a TA for my University’s Computer Architecture course.
Focus is a funny thing, I’ve realized less is more and learning happens best by doing, I’m hoping to build my foundations of CS until I graduate and use that knowledge to tackle fun problems from there on!
Here's some tech I've picked up along the way:Currently I’m an intern on Tesla’s energy division. I worked on separate aspects of Energy’s Commercial UI’s, including:
Worked on real-time segmentation algorithms for drones with hyperspectral imaging for wildfire detection.
Interned on AWS Panorama on the application platform team. Helped to reduce deployment times for ML applications.
Specialized in Machine Intelligence, Systems Programming. Minored in Math.
