Common Hardware Group - Converted standard C style error handing class to C++ object oriented style adopted by 4+ engineering teams, reducing debugging time by ~30% by capturing diagnostic context (function, file, line number) at call sites; presented to 5+ teams for feedback and next steps - Developed 6+ diagnostic macros to auto-capture context at call sites, improving error traceability and reducing time-to-resolution by ~40% during runtime debugging. - Identified and resolved a variety of bugs using static analysis tools, GDB, and manual testing; collaborated with relevant teams to triage and fix defects, improving code stability pre-release. - Collaborated on large-scale code restructuring, contributing to legacy code refactoring, improving maintainability, and reinforcing consistent coding standards across the team. - Spearheaded 5+ intern wellness initiatives as one of six Intern Ambassadors, reaching 1,300+ interns; attended/co-led events and discussions with Women in Cisco and Cisco Toastmasters, enhancing intern community engagement and professional development.

TA for Architecture, Systems, Concurrency and Energy in Computation. Taught basic organizational principles of the major components of a processor, e.g., the core, memory hierarchy, I/O subsystem and basic operating system constructs that utilize them.

TA for Intro to Computing. Taught introduction to computing principles and programming practices with an emphasis on the design, construction and implementation of problem solutions use of software tools.

URA under Dr. Chuanyi Ji. Developed a Python pipeline by integrating Google’s Solar API to evaluate rooftop solar potential for fire stations. Automated data collection/transformation for 25+ locations by processing geospatial data with PyProj & handling errors

Actively involved in enhancing the accessibility of sidewalks in the suburban areas surrounding Atlanta. Key responsibilities encompass conducting field research by visiting these suburbs, employing various software tools such as OpenStreetMap (OSM), and collaborating with my peers to improve the quality of data and conduct quality control checks. Additionally, conducting qualitative analysis through coded interviews to understand public perceptions of the urban heat island effect and measures taken by officials to mitigate it

Infrastructure & Operations Group - Worked alongside Cloud & Datacenter, Network Engineering, Workplace Services, Project Management, OCC, RTM/Field Support, and BI teams to understand the day to day operations to manage large-scale infrastructure in a Fortune 500 company. - Regularly performed advanced administration tasks within on-prem and cloud platforms to ensure smooth inter-team collaboration. - Created data pipelines in ADF and KPI reports in MicroStrategy to format/load data to be analyzed and demo-ed to stakeholders. - Wrote numerous technical reports that demonstrated perspective and possible solutions to upcoming projects (including AI/ML, vendor hardware/software, and cloud solutions), the massive CDK software company cyberattack, and the CrowdStrike outage.

Helped with the collection used laptops from corporations, refurbishment in technology labs, and their distribution to student families who don't have a computer at home. Responsibilities include cleaning, reimaging, licensing, quality control, and general hardware and software repair/installation of computers.

Updated responsibilities include managing the entire center (including junior staff members) as and when required, and interacting with parents coordinating enrollment.

Helping kids of all ages excel in math and reading by giving them personalized instruction. Grading homework and classwork and giving specific feedback based on errors.

Designed an innovative solution to a real world problem in the medical field with a small group, presented findings to the entire program. Learned about the social, ethical, scientific, and political aspects of the medical field. Learned about future careers in the medical field and spoke with many of the staff at Roswell Park as well as the students studying there.

Attended a training where real life emergencies were simulated and, as a group, we would learn and perform the correct course of action, switching roles after each simulation. Learned how to do abdominal thrusts and got CPR certified.
