Software engineer with dual degrees in Computer Science and Management; experienced in building scalable, AI-powered web applications. Passionate about empowering users through accessible AI solutions, and about realizing uniquely salient solutions by identifying the true needs of users.
- Significant focus on AI projects. Worked with diverse clients from the UK & the US to SEA countries; rapidly transformed business needs and ambiguous issues into specifications and shipped products. - Clients include companies like Replit (cloud tools & AI), Ramp (fintech), & Veradigm (healthcare tech). - Example Clients, Deliverables, and Impact: -- Replit: AI Sales Transcription, Analysis, and CRM Workflow Integration. Used Applied AI with Python and JavaScript (Express). Impact: Worked with the Head of Business Operations at Replit to accelerate the manual sales processing workflow from 3 to 5 hours per 30-minute call to 4 minutes per 30-minute call. Average reduction of 98.4% time spent. -- Ramp: Custom TypeScript React components, animations, and front-end design. Impact: Improved front-end responsiveness and reduced user-perceived latency through optimized component rendering and animation. -- Veradigm: Progressively Personalized Science News & Papers Feed. Used Applied AI with Python. Impact: Worked with the Veradigm head of AI initiatives to automate the internal content curation pipeline, reducing average editorial workload by 4 hours/week per user. - Other work: Production engineering, fixing infrastructure problems, AI data analysis & creation, CI/CD pipeline engineering, custom online shops, and productivity enhancements for creative & admin work.
- Collaborated with TÜRGED, the primary association for the visually impaired in Turkey, to finely hone in on their unique needs and pain points. Used interviews, live tests, and iterative development & testing with stakeholders. Discovered a wholly unserved need particular to their style of navigation. - Developed an augmented reality navigation app to address their need. The app utilizes real-time 3d environment analysis for navigating novel and extremely difficult spaces. Iterative testing focused primarily on accuracy, safety, and inclusive accessibility for various degrees of visual impairment. - Technology & Skills: React Native, Node.js, MongoDB, Native Android (Java), Applied AI for AR. - Impact: A completely unserved need for millions of people has been addressed and technically solved. Widespread adoption pending iOS development due to usage statistics, requiring other developers.
Tutored four undergraduates in the Algorithms and Data Structures module, fostering an inclusive learning environment for diverse learning styles; all mentees achieved high first class grades (85%+).
- Completed an extensive AI research project "Human-AI Collaboration in Narrative Generation" with research advisor Joseph Devietti, the CIS Undergraduate Chair of the University of Pennsylvania. - Developed an AI-powered co-writing web app using React, TypeScript, MongoDB, and Node.js. Implemented a testing and data collection suite for iterative development. - Architected an RLHF-based finetuning pipeline in Python, automating training and evaluation. - Implemented data ingestion services in Java and JSoup to include broader live datasets in training. - Technology & Skills: React, TypeScript, Node.js (Express), Java, JSoup, AI Engineering (Data collection & normalization, automated evaluation, iterative model finetuning), Python. - Impact: Developed and deployed a custom model for creative co-writing, along with its attendant co-writing web application, which increased the average writing speed and model satisfaction of the 17 collaborated authors as follows: Drafting speed increased to 314% (755 wph -> 2,369 wph) and revision speed to 580% (624 wph -> 3,367 wph). Average AI generation satisfaction rating increased from 3.1/5 to 4.48/5, a +44.5% increase.
I was a co-lead in the high altitude balloon team. I was responsible for designing and maintaining learning paths for new members, keeping the team guided, and setting up near-space missions. In addition to the leadership role, I was responsible for the design and implementation of the Mission Control Interface and PAC Knowledge Base.
I helped students design workflows to turn their mechanics and electronics project ideas into reality, kept lab secure. I used power tools, wood- and metal-working, and various electronic components.
