Work History

FULL-STACK LEAD / PM (PROJECT)

UC Davis
Davis, CA
01.2026 - Current
  • Building an AI-powered schedule planner that converts chatbot inputs into structured calendar events and re-optimizes plans in real time as schedules change
  • Led end-to-end execution by defining scope, milestones, and team workflow; coordinated implementation across frontend, backend, and database
  • Owned system design decisions including API design, database schema planning, and the calendar/task pipeline integration strategy
  • Implemented core features across the stack using Node.js/TypeScript backend, React + Tailwind CSS frontend, and PostgreSQL/Supabase for data management
  • Guided teammates through onboarding, task breakdown, and code reviews to keep a beginner-heavy team aligned and productive

Volunteer

Davis Korean Church
Davis, CA
09.2024 - Current
  • Provided reliable morning transportation for students without access to a vehicle, ensuring on-time arrival for services and activities
  • Coordinated pick-up and drop-off schedules with students and staff to support events and off-site programs

  • Supported a safe and welcoming environment by assisting with event logistics

SOFTWARE ENGINEER (PROJECT)

UC Davis
09.2025 - 12.2025
  • Built a Chrome extension that scores resume–job description fit on Indeed by sending resume and job description text to a local Flask API for NLP-based similarity analysis
  • Led the baseline methods subgroup to benchmark non-ML approaches against ML models and support fair model comparisons
  • Implemented an end-to-end TF-IDF pipeline (text cleaning, vectorization, cosine similarity scoring, keyword extraction) to surface matched skills and missing requirements
  • Authored baseline documentation and contributed to evaluation criteria and method selection

SOFTWARE ENGINEER (PROJECT)

10.2024 - 12.2024
  • Built a browser-based 3D voxel terrain engine from scratch in WebGL 2.0 with no external libraries
  • Implemented Perlin noise–driven procedural generation with elevation-based biomes, dynamic water, and randomized tree placement
  • Wrote three GLSL shader programs: voxel rendering with diffuse lighting, textured OBJ model rendering, and particle effects
  • Developed a GPU-accelerated rain particle system simulating ~100,000 particles in real time using Transform Feedback and double-buffered vertex buffers
  • Built a custom OBJ/MTL parser and asynchronous texture-loading pipeline to import and render 3D assets
  • Implemented hand-written linear algebra utilities (projection/view matrices and matrix operations) without external math libraries
  • Designed a responsive UI with real-time controls (terrain size, tree count, water level) and one-click world regeneration
