01. About Me

I am a Computer Science major (Class of 2027) at Colby College with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence. I'm passionate about neural networks and building full stack applications that solve real-world problems.

I have two summers of engineering experience at Google, where I shipped production code for Vertex AI and Google Cloud data processing (Apache Beam & Dataflow). On campus, I have served as a technical mentor for 10+ CS courses, where I enjoy debugging complex code and helping peers master advanced topics like Computer Architecture and Machine Learning.

03. Experience

Google

Software Engineering Intern

May 2025 – Aug 2025 | Sunnyvale, CA

  • Engineered a Terraform resource in Go for deploying generative AI models at scale on Google Cloud Vertex AI, unblocking a $19.2MM ARR opportunity for Google Cloud partners.
  • Discovered and resolved a critical race condition in the Vertex AI backend preventing parallel deployments by refactoring ID generation logic to use cryptographically secure UUIDs in Java; validated fix with comprehensive JUnit and Mockito test suites.
  • Implemented a chat-based AI agent for discovering, deploying, and running inference on large language models on Vertex AI using Python and Google Agent Development Kit (ADK).

Google

Software Engineering Intern

May 2024 – Aug 2024 | Seattle, WA

  • Engineered a high-performance, schema-aware Apache Beam transform in Java for processing CSV data, capable of achieving a throughput of 3 billion+ CSV records/hour on Google Cloud Dataflow.
  • Implemented robust fault tolerance by routing malformed records to a Dead Letter Queue (DLQ), ensuring zero data loss during the ingestion of multi-terabyte datasets.
