Collaborating with a cross-functional student team to design and build full-stack applications, contributing to both front-end interfaces and back-end features using modern web technologies. Participating in agile-style development cycles, including standups, code reviews, and feature planning, while maintaining project documentation, version control practices, and deployment workflows.

Developing a full stack web-application to support research on how variations in AI response tone and structure influence student engagement. Fine-tuning Gemini Model 2.5 Flash-Lite to give user-specified messages on biology.

Developed secure SSH protocols for remote Raspberry Pi programming to streamline field operations, authored technical documentation and tutorials to improve team knowledge retention and onboarding, and researched and selected accessible electrical components to enhance performance, reliability, and teachability for future team members.

Led the payload subteam in designing a remote live-camera and telemetry system that achieved a 2,000+ ft communication range within a strict $90 hardware budget. Developed embedded control systems by independently learning and applying Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and C++, and contributed to hardware integration, testing, and launch operations. Earned 3rd place at the 2025 MARS Battle of the Rockets Competition for innovative payload engineering.

Created an AI travel planner hackathon prototype that automates trip scheduling by optimizing transportation, meal timing, and routes, reducing user travel planning time by 70%. Integrated Google Maps API and custom heuristic algorithms to generate real-time itineraries with up to 35% shorter travel paths, and designed a React + Flask architecture to ensure a seamless user experience.

Developing a full-stack e-commerce web application as part of a student team to enable online product browsing, secure checkout, and inventory management. Contributing to frontend development with React and Tailwind CSS, building backend account management and database systems with authentication, and integrating payment processing via Stripe. Focused on creating a responsive, user-friendly experience with search, filtering, and cart functionality.

Designed intuitive UI/UX interfaces for a team-based gamified music-education platform that teaches music literacy and theory through quizzes, learning articles, pitch-recognition exercises, and other interactive practices. Also structured the project’s internal architecture to ensure clarity, maintainability, and smooth collaboration among developers, and contributed to backend features such as secure user authentication and onboarding flows.

Developed a personal portfolio website with an integrated dashboard to showcase blogs, poetry, media reviews, and developer projects/experiences, designed to handle hundreds of articles while maintaining fast load times and smooth navigation. Optimized caching and rendering strategies ensure consistent performance as content grows, while responsive layouts provide a polished, user-friendly experience. The platform unifies creative and technical work in a cohesive environment, making it easy for visitors to explore both writing and developer projects.

Built a React web app that converts Excel and CSV files into visual data charts. Implemented a simple workflow for uploading and parsing files, with interactive chart visualization for quick data exploration.
