Work History

Software Engineer Intern (Data/Backend)

Microsoft
05.2023 - 08.2023
  • Collaborated with stakeholders within Microsoft 365 Substrate AI to address declining dataset quality, a critical challenge that impacted Microsoft’s data scientists and adherence to SLAs.
  • Designed and implemented a three-step automated process using Azure Synapse for data collection, identifying failing users, and replacing stale users with more active ones. (Azure Data Lake Storage, Cosmos Database)
  • Utilized Azure tools, including Azure Data Factory, to develop large-scale and secure data pipelines, successfully addressing data scale challenges and ensuring industry-standard compliance. (Scala, Apache Spark, SQL)
  • Enhanced M365 Document dataset quality by up to 40% through precise identification and replacement of outdated users, boosting performance of LLMs. (Power BI)

Technical Program Manager Intern

Tesla, Inc.
09.2021 - 12.2021
  • Managed end-to-end integration of 52 firmware-affecting New Product Introductions (NPI) and Part Shortage Mitigations for Models S, X, 3, and Y at Fremont Factory.
  • Redefined NPI workflow to standardize the validation process by designing a new metrics dashboard using Apache Kafka, Splunk, and MySQL.
  • Implemented an ETL system that expedited test durations, First Pass Yield (FPY), failure parser analysis, and vehicle alerts to support NPI program trials. This enhancement led to a 70% improvement in real-time vehicle alert responsiveness per trial, significantly boosting product quality and operational efficiency.
  • As a result, Tesla delivered 241,300 cars in Q3, all equipped with firmware supporting new hardware, including microcontrollers, battery packs, car computers, drive units/inverters, and thermal systems.

Firmware Integration Engineer Intern

Tesla, Inc.
05.2021 - 08.2021
  • Performed root cause analysis and implemented code rebalances to vehicle and factory-facing firmware.
  • Conducted post-implementation validations to stress test firmware code changes on active Model SX manufacturing line, ensuring 98%+ First Pass Yield (FPY). (Python, Bash, Jenkins)
  • Studied failure cases of Tesla’s car computers through automated provisioning tests. This led to the discovery of Supplier-related hardware issues, resulting in a successful $924,072 chargeback for invalid serialization of 1,108 car computers. (Ruby, Bash, JIRA)

Software Developer Intern

BlackBerry QNX
05.2020 - 08.2020
  • Designed and developed a low-level testing framework to increase the functional efficiency of validation tools supported by the QNX operating system. (C, C++, Bash, QNX)
  • Reduced build time from 3.5 minutes to 45 seconds by identifying a bug in a gcc/g++ compiler build script.
  • Implemented over 50 automated tests and refactored 3,500+ lines of code to expand regression testing across 3 CPU architectures, all supporting QNX targets. (Python, C, Ksh, JIRA)
  • Documented technical workflows and knowledge to educate newly hired employees and interns.
