Professional Experience
Building intelligent systems and robust software across industries.
Tinkerer
Developing SkyRipple, an agentic airline disruption recovery platform that simulates cascading flight delays and evaluates recovery strategies using a constraint-aware discrete-event simulation engine.
Accounting & Reporting Assurance Intern
Mapped fund-audit workflows and developed a maintainable Excel VBA automation pipeline that automated 30% of deterministic audit tasks. Reduced fund-name standardization from 6 hours to under 1 minute by automating repetitive data-processing steps and standardizing workflow execution.
Data Science Intern
Developed a two-tower neural network for associating road signs with their supporting structures, improving detection accuracy from 82% with XGBoost to 98%. Engineered 28 geometric, spatial, and relational features using LiDAR and satellite imagery to improve automated map updates, with the potential to eliminate an estimated 1,500+ hours of manual fieldwork weekly across Europe.
City Scholar
Selected as 1 of 25 students for UIUC's academic-corporate fellowship in Chicago. Engaged with technology leaders and organizations across the city's technology ecosystem, gaining exposure to how emerging technologies are developed, adopted, and scaled in enterprise and civic environments.
AI Intern, Agentic Systems
Developed an agentic simulation system within the Kingfisher platform to generate synthetic, FHIR-compliant healthcare data across 20+ entity types. Built simulation workflows using LLM-driven orchestration and domain-specific relationships derived from a 10,000-record healthcare dataset, enabling configurable patient journeys and synthetic data generation for healthcare and insurance use cases.
Technical Lead
Led a 10-member team delivering 8 AI and emerging-technology solutions. Translated project requirements into technical specifications, coordinated implementation across projects, and helped engineers resolve technical roadblocks to move solutions from initial requirements through development and delivery.
Artificial Intelligence Intern
Benchmarked five object-tracking algorithms for NEC's MiEye vehicle-tracking platform, evaluating performance under motion and occlusion using real-world traffic footage from a network of 1,500+ cameras across Delhi NCR. Compared algorithmic approaches and their computational requirements, contributing to a proposed solution projected to reduce compute costs by 40%.
Data Science Intern
Developed a trading analytics dashboard for an early-stage financial technology company, integrating portfolio monitoring, trading activity, and data visualization into a unified interface. Optimized backend data processing to improve processing efficiency by 60%, supporting faster analysis of trading and portfolio data.
Website Developer Intern
Developed website improvements for the Lemann Center for Brazilian Studies in collaboration with the center's director. Translated stakeholder requirements into updates to website structure, presentation, and user experience, while supporting the center's digital presence and online communication of academic programs and study-abroad opportunities.
Software Engineer Intern
Led a four-member team in developing an interactive demonstrator for India's Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP), integrating logistics services exposed through government APIs. Designed an end-to-end fleet-management use case incorporating truck-location updates from FASTag toll records and driver-license verification, then demonstrated the system more than 10 times to internal and government stakeholders.
Research Assistant
Evaluated election forecasting models using statistical analysis, Brier scores, and geographic comparisons of polling data. Replicated and compared forecasts from FiveThirtyEight, The Economist, and other sources across multiple state combinations to study forecast accuracy and variation. Presented research findings to 100+ experts at the DIMACS 2024 conference.
