Work Experience

As a Software Engineer (Web Development) intern at Hiverlab from May to July 2020, I designed landing pages, updated websites, and developed web applications, including the SMU Virtual Graduation 2020 project.

While working at Augmentus as a Software Developer Intern (Machine Learning), I implemented a feature that trained and deployed object recognition models using C# and Amazon Web Services. Additionally, I developed and tested object detection models using TensorFlow, Python, and Amazon Web Services.

In my role as a software engineer intern at Vertex Venture Holdings, I developed a web app to deploy and integrate AI models that others had trained.
