Conducted Sports Analytics research as a part of Carnegie Mellon’s Summer Undergraduate Research Experience within the Statistics and Data Science Department. EDA Project -2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Passing Analysis Analyzed all pass attempts from the 2023 Women's World Cup using StatsBomb data to uncover how passing behavior predicts team success. Contributions included: • Applied Watson's two-sample test (circular statistics) to detect passing angle shifts under pressure  • teams with significant shifts averaged 5.2 games played and 2.9 wins vs. 3.5 and 1.0 for those without • Built Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clusters on attacking pass profiles, comparing team styles via polar distribution visualizations

• Architected AI-powered automation agents using Claude (Team API), ManyChat, and Zapier for marketing (content creation via Canva API, Meta/TikTok scheduling) and sales (lead re-ranking by qualification score from call recordings). • Designed a cross-platform insights dashboard aggregating funnel metrics from Meta Ads, SamCart, WebinarJam, and Flodesk, surfacing KPIs including cost-per-click, email open rates, and webinar show-up rates.

• Engineered a real-time HMI visualization system for autonomous driving, enhancing dynamic Bird’s-Eye View (BEV) perception data. • Developed a multithreaded Python backend, integrating WebRTC/WebTransport for low-latency streaming. • Conducted automated perception validation and performed Linux-based system testing, debugging networking and threading issues.

• Taught computer science fundamentals to students in grades 1–8, focusing on algorithms and programming logic. • Designed and implemented an engaging curriculum that fostered computational thinking and problem-solving skills. • Developed and maintained the organization’s website using technologies like React, SQL, and MongoDB, enhancing user experience.

• Conducted research on Visible Light Communication (VLC) as a complementary technology to Wi-Fi, focusing on MAC/PHY protocol design. • Designed and implemented a custom VLC packet structure using On-Off Keying (OOK) modulation in Python and MATLAB. • Analyzed bitrate performance and modeled the relationship between Bit Error Rate (BER) and achievable bit rate to assess communication reliability.

• Developed and deployed a production-ready company homepage using React and Next.js. • Optimized responsiveness and performance through effective frontend architecture. • Enhanced global load performance with Cloudflare CDN caching and asset optimization. • Collaborated with a team using GitHub for code reviews and pull requests.
