Experience

May 2026 – Sep. 2026

Software Developer

Starwood Property Trust

Built a tool that read deal memos and pulled out the key details, and a RAG system that answered questions across 400+ past deals, cutting analyst review time. Also built web tools that replaced a 20-person team's spreadsheets.

Dec. 2025 – Jan. 2026

Research Engineer

Mantis Lab, MIT

Built the system that gathers 500+ messy data sources into clean collections used for testing AI models. Also worked on the semantic mapping and embeddings, fixing bugs and implementing new functionality.

Jun. 2025 – Sep. 2025

Research Intern

Berea Lab, University of Michigan

Analyzed 20,000+ student activity logs to find which question formats students actually finish. The findings guide how AI is integrated into a CS e-book students use for AP CSA.

Feb. 2025 – Jul. 2025

Research Intern

Energy Systems Lab, Florida International University

Wrote software to control and manage the lab's high-voltage power supplies over the network. The change tripled the number of tests the lab could get through.

Nov. 2024 – Feb. 2025

Research Intern

Florida State University

Built a tool that makes large image-recognition AI models 13× smaller while staying 98% faithful to the originals. That makes them light enough to run on small everyday devices instead of big servers.
