Full-Stack Developer Intern at Intelligent Digital Solutions

May 1, 2024 - December 31, 2024

Rebuilt key sections of the eHospital web portal using React, TypeScript, and Redux; designed a unified UI system with a custom sidebar, top navigation, and reusable layouts to support new appointment and patient dashboards. Migrated eHospital’s core features—including JWT-based authentication, multi-role appointment scheduling (patient, doctor, admin), calendar integration, and messaging—into a React Native mobile app. Implemented backend using Express.js, Node.js, and MySQL; integrated them via Axios for frontend consumption. Collaborated with UX (via Figma) and PM teams to clarify feature requirements and support design iteration feedback.

Software Developer Intern at Buyer Folio

January 1, 2024 - April 30, 2024

Built responsive pages with React, TypeScript, SASS, and MUI; applied semantic HTML and accessibility best practices. Configured GitHub Actions and Jenkins for CI/CD to automate build, test, and deployment workflows across feature branches and pull requests, with deployments to Firebase Hosting that reduced manual release time. Configured ESLint and pre-commit hooks to improve code quality and maintain codebase consistency. Practiced Agile development using Jira: co-wrote user stories, joined sprint planning, and participated in retrospectives.

Front-End Developer Intern at ByteDance

November 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023

Built and iterated on modules for the Videoconference Admin Dashboard using React, TypeScript, and MobX; integrated backend APIs and aligned features with PRD specifications in an Agile development environment with weekly team reviews. Reduced latency by over 20% on a nested meeting room list by profiling re-render patterns using Chrome DevTools and frontend logs, then applying lazy rendering and restructuring state to avoid unnecessary tree updates. Diagnosed and fixed improper HTTP 200 responses by tracing malformed frontend requests with Wireshark. Refactored legacy code after auditing deprecated APIs, magic numbers, and long functions using ESLint and internal static analysis scripts; compiled findings into a cleanup document and improved modularity. Documented a setup guide for new interns covering repo structure, local environment, and workflow; it was adopted as onboarding material for new hires, improving clarity and accelerating ramp-up.
