  • Designed and implemented test cases to validate firmware improvements, ensuring seamless integration into production

2024

ML Software Research Intern

@University of California, Davis

  • Collaborated with a cross-functional team to enhance an Android app using Kotlin, integrating a plant scanning feature powered by a ML model trained for 50 epochs, achieving 92% accuracy, to provide tailored pesticide recommendations
  • Worked with UI/UX designers to improve UI and pushed the app to production on the Google Play store
  • Developed a model to control the movement of a hyperspectral camera around a greenhouse, implemented using Arduino for automation and precise control

2023

Full-Stack Software Engineer Intern

@Crypto Reporting LLC

  • Created APIs via AWS API Gateway to help with the Authentication users to a specific Centralized Exchange via external APIs, and also to send Crypto wallet information from the front-end with AWS Amplify to the AWS hosted back-end
