• ▹Developing software for airborne systems at a top-5 U.S. defense contractor.

• ▹Reduced trace decoding runtime by 9x by replacing a Python decoder with a C Babeltrace 2 plugin for inline IPv4/IPv6/MAC address decoding, accelerating large-scale networking debugging workflows.
• ▹Enhanced IS-IS, RIB, and FIB modules by adding last-update-time and failure reason attributes, standardizing YANG models and improving root-cause analysis of routing delays.
• ▹Designed, tested, and shipped enhancements across ArcOS, reducing CPU overhead and strengthening reliability in large-scale enterprise deployments.

• ▹Led weekly lab sessions for 14 students across core electrical and computer engineering courses (EE 1301 & EE 2301), supporting hands-on experimentation and problem-solving.
• ▹Guided students through circuit concepts, debugging techniques, and lab instrumentation while reinforcing lecture material.

• ▹Built an AI scheduling app that converts natural language task input into optimized Google Calendar events using LLM parsing to extract tasks, estimate durations, and auto-schedule into free time slots.
• ▹Developed full-stack application with Next.js, Supabase, and OpenAI API, integrating Stripe billing and Whisper for voice input. Deployed as a PWA — currently in active beta with real paying users.

• ▹Built a prototype for Meta smart glasses integrating Google Gemini multimodal models for real-time vision and audio context processing.
• ▹Implemented a multimodal inference pipeline combining computer vision, speech analysis, and LLM reasoning to identify individuals and generate post-interaction artifacts.

• ▹Developed a Model Context Protocol server enabling AI assistants to integrate with Google Classroom API for automated educational workflow management.
• ▹Configured OAuth2 authentication with Google Cloud Platform and architected a TypeScript API wrapper supporting 8+ operations including course management and submission tracking.

• ▹Implemented fully playable Flappy Bird on an 8×8 LED matrix with tilt and shake gesture controls via I2C accelerometer, writing three embedded C libraries from scratch.
• ▹Architected a three-state game engine with independent timers, collision detection, and a linear congruential generator for randomized pipe generation.

• ▹Pioneered AR mobile app for task management with interactive 3D elements using Unity and C# in a 48-hour hackathon.
• ▹Spearheaded team of 4, delivered MVP, and secured $1,000 development grant through pitch to industry judges.

• ▹Architected comprehensive programming curriculum teaching software development fundamentals to K-8 students.
• ▹Created hands-on project modules covering debugging techniques and computational problem-solving.

• ▹Orchestrated a team of 20 members in designing and fabricating competition-ready robot parts using Fusion 360 and CNC tools.
• ▹Collaborated on control algorithms and hardware-software integration for autonomous operations.
