Experience

Software Engineer Intern, IBM

June 2026 - Sept. 2026 | Durham, NC

I built backend services in Java and Jakarta EE on Open Liberty for an automated pipeline that triages performance regressions, designed to replace about 10 hours a week of manual review of 100+ daily benchmark results, where about 70% of flagged regressions were false alarms. I implemented the rerun validation logic, which re-executes a flagged regression on real hardware so only confirmed regressions reach engineers, and built the pipeline's dashboard end to end as its sole owner, with pipeline controls that pass through its backend so the browser never calls the services directly. I also evaluated Horreum, an open-source benchmark store, as a replacement for the in-house detection and documented the decision not to adopt it. I authored 16 pull requests, all merged.

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Apache Texera, UC Irvine

Apr. 2026 - June 2026 | Irvine, CA

I built a workflow-to-Python translator in Scala for Apache Texera, an open-source workflow engine, which compiles a visual dataflow pipeline into a standalone pandas and plotly script.
