Software Engineer @ Qualcomm
About
System Software Engineer at Qualcomm and recent Computer Engineering graduate from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.My experience spans system software, embedded systems, performance optimization, and AI-enabled applications. At JamSystems, I developed low-latency C++ infrastructure and contributed to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, while previously supporting NFC software validation and automation at NXP Semiconductors.I am passionate about building efficient software at the intersection of hardware and software, with interests in power and thermal management, operating systems, and high-performance computing.

Experience
Software Engineer
Qualcomm
San Diego, CA
Software Engineer
JamSystems
• Developed a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system to improve the quality and relevance of context provided to an internal LLM. • Leveraged retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to build a condensed relationship graph mapping connections and dependencies across files, improving information retrieval, system visibility, and impact analysis. • Designed and optimized multithreaded, low-latency C++ data structures for performance-critical systems, achieving 1.7×–3× speedups over standard library implementations. • Built and iterated on retrieval pipelines involving document ingestion, embedding generation, and semantic retrieval to enhance LLM-assisted code understanding.
Software Validation Student Intern
NXP Semiconductors
San Diego, California, United States
• Served as a Software Validation Intern at NXP Semiconductors, focusing on customer release testing for NFC hardware and software solutions. • Conducted over 100 stability tests across six different platforms for each customer release. • Modified 30+ test cases to align with new pass requirements based on customer feedback. • Automated more than 30 manual test cases using JCShell, Python, and NXP's test framework.
