Side Projects
• Developed a Rust library to interact with UCSD's course enrollment system by acting as a wrapper around its API.
• Programmed an application using the library to gather 40+ million data points for 1200+ courses across five terms.
• Processed 580+ raw datasets using Python and pandas and generated 3000+ enrollment graphs using matplotlib.
• Utilized TypeScript and puppeteer to automate the login process when the application gets logged out, increasing the overall uptime from 1 day to 7 days.
• Led a team of 3 developers on the development of a Discord chat bot using TypeScript and Node.js for Realm of the Mad God (a massive multiplayer online game) raiding groups.
• Stored information like user data and group settings for 60,000+ users across 15+ chat groups using MongoDB.
• Created a C# ASP.NET application to scrape data from a player profile website, handling 200+ requests per day.
• Maintained 42,000+ lines of code by automatically enforcing style and compilation requirements with GitHub Actions.
• Developed a C# application to parse Minecraft screenshots containing upwards of 80 names in under half a second.
• Increased the end user’s win rate by 30%+ by checking each player’s stats before the game starts and warning the user if there are skilled players in a lobby.
• Used a public API to get and display player information, using a cache to avoid hitting the rate limit on repeat queries.
Work Experience
• Assisted in several introduction to programming (Java) courses for up to 400 undergraduate students, holding office hours, revising assignments, and grading assignments and exams.
• Helped students in one-on-one sessions with programming concepts, Java syntax, algorithm design, and debugging.
• Applied techniques like visual aids, concrete examples, and live coding to adapt to different students’ learning styles.
• Resolved 70+ tutor request tickets per quarter with 95%+ positive feedback rate.

Volunteering
• Worked with a team of developers on MedECC, a program that better scales hospital and clinician resources by allowing caregivers to monitor patients virtually.
• Improved the administrative UI by making it easier to manage users, and the monitoring service by notifying users when the device loses connection to the internet, using Angular and TypeScript.
