In my Senior year of highschool, I was accepted into Cornell University. My plan was to graduate within 4 years with a BS in Computer Science, a MEng in Computer Science, and a minor in Operations Research Information Engineering.

After my Junior year of college, I worked at Gecko Robotics as a Software Engineer Intern. The company is a medium sized start-up revolutionizing Non-Destructive Testing of infrastructure. While there, I worked on the Robot Controls team. During the summer I was able to hone my software engineering skills, and I drastically improved as a Software Engineer.

During my time at Cornell, I became a Teaching Assistant. I was nominated twice for the Course Staff Exceptional Service Award and ultimately received it in 2024. I taught Intro Physics Lab in Fall 2022, Object Oriented Programming in Spring 2023 & 2024, and Databases in Fall 2023. I led exam proctoring, created and ran entirely new review sessions for classes with hundreds of students, and taught students through discussion sections and online Q&A.

Outside of my coursework, research, and projects, I also tried my best to contribute to the Cornell Community and local Ithaca Community. For all 4 years at Cornell I was part of the Cornell Tradition Fellowship, a scholarship program where every member does 100+ hours of volunteering and 100+ hours of working every school year. During this program I volunteered at many different Cornell and local events. I also was the Lead Programmer and Secretary of a club named the Cornell Engineering & Entertainment Design Club. The club creates entertaining projects for events on campus such as drink-making robots.

After graduating, I will move to Redwood City, California, to work at Oracle as a Member of Technical Staff on their Globally Distributed Database Team. My specialization throughout my time at Cornell was in Distributed Systems, Databases, and the Cloud; so, this role is a perfect match. I strongly look forward to working with the team!
