About

This summer I'm a SWE intern @ NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory working on developing Python Libraries to verify spacecraft activity. I'm currently studying Computer Science @ UC Berkeley and am interested in Software Engineering, Machine Learning, and Data Analytics. Actively looking for 2023 Fall and 2024 Summer internships.
