I am working as a FTE at Microsoft where I am helping to develop embedded software for the Teams app.

Working on the Data Platform + Growth Team (DPG), specifically the IDEAs Team. My role dealt with Data as a Service (DaaS) and data from all over the company. The group works on the data platform, which builds the infrastructure needed to process, validate, and produce the information leveraged all over Microsoft.

I tutor multiple students on a weekly basis in subjects ranging from math to english, as well as grades ranging from 6th to 12th grade. I volunteer at Downtown College Preparatory in San Jose, tutoring multiple students in math on Mondays. I work privately, tutoring individuals in a range of subjects, and math as advanced as calculus.

I was a TA for software classes at UCSD. I set up weekly labs, quizzes, and homework assignments. I assisted with homework and labs, as well as helped grade certain assignments.

Worked with engineering and manufacturing to streamline and document the manufacturing of products to reduce variability between builders and improve cycle times. Understanding how to bring a product from the creative stages of design, to the most efficient building process and shipping to customers. Building the products designed by the engineers. Learned details of engineering design using basic engineering design tools, creating pieces to be modified for use, learning how the different disciplines of engineering can be utilized in building a product.

I work as a field engineer for Devcon Construction Inc. My tasks vary from day to day as projects progress. I have organized the sub-contractors for various projects in Silicon Valley, set up bidding forms, written up contracts to go to sub-contractors, calculated budgets, budget pricing, and price points to make sure projects hit the marks owners expect.
