Work Experience

2022 — 2022
Software Engineering Intern at Apple, Inc.
Cupertino, CA

As an intern on the SwiftUI macOS team, over the course of the summer, I audited 10+ SwiftUI APIs across iOS and macOS to pinpoint inconsistencies between both platforms. This lead to to API proposals and functional implementation changes. During this process, I collaborated with colleagues across 4 cross functional teams to design and develop new features. Finally, separate from my roles as an intern, I took part in Apple's iContest, a company wide contest for interns where I placed as one of the top 10 finalists out of 100+ submissions for a new idea, product, or service.

2021 — 2021
Web Development Intern at Walt Disney Animation Studios
Remote

I developed UI updates for an AngularJS app that connects to the render farm and monitors the status of renders. I collaborated with product designers on Figma to design and develop 7 new web components. I also optimized render logs which improved efficiency by 55%. Apart from engineering, I was fortunate to conduct UI/UX research and performed usability testing, all while following Gitflow practices in an Agile work environment.

Education
