Work Experience

Peer Mentor – CS 571: Building User Interfaces at University of Wisconsin–Madison
September 1, 2025 - Present
Wrote Python-based autograding and validation scripts with pytest to automate testing for 100+ student assignments, reducing manual grading time. Supported version control workflows, debugging Git issues including merge conflicts and rebasing. Helped students integrate React frontends with Node.js/Vue.js backends, focusing on REST API design, async data flow, and error handling. Conducted targeted code reviews and live debugging using GitHub PRs, Chrome DevTools, and browser network inspectors.
SAIL Fellow (Summer of AI Laboratory) at University of Wisconsin–Madison
June 1, 2025 - August 1, 2025
Reduced UI developer iteration latency by implementing vector-based retrieval and AST similarity matching to surface relevant code patterns. Built an asynchronous Python service to extract ASTs from frontend code and prompt LLMs to generate components matching user-defined style. Designed and used a CI/CD pipeline for AI services to automatically test prompts, validate outputs, and deploy model-backed features with regression checks. Worked in a small cross-functional Agile team emphasizing modularity, testing, and debuggability.
WISCERS Research Program – Computer Science at University of Wisconsin–Madison
January 1, 2025 - June 1, 2025
Built Python-based simulation pipelines to evaluate game-theoretic and ML models for efficient data sharing in large-scale Alzheimer’s research collaborations. Implemented cost-aware sampling and data selection strategies reducing redundant data queries by 25% while preserving model performance. Used NumPy and Pandas to analyze performance–cost tradeoffs, enabling faster iteration and reproducible experiments. Translated theoretical fairness and efficiency constraints into scalable Python experiments to support privacy-conscious, distributed medical data analysis.
Student Help Desk Technician, UW–Madison Biochemistry at University of Wisconsin–Madison
March 1, 2024 - September 1, 2025
Increased ticketing system efficiency by 20% by automating monitoring processes with Bash scripting. Troubleshot and resolved production-like issues under time constraints. Authored internal documentation to improve knowledge sharing and reduce repeat incidents.
