Work Experience

May 2023 - Present
Undergraduate Research Assistant
College Station, TX
Collaborated under the guidance of Dr. Timothy Davis on advanced graph algorithm projects.
Focused on leveraging the GraphBLAS C API to implement established graph algorithms, aiming to optimize performance.
Engaged in regular meetings with the research team, discussing algorithmic strategies, challenges faced, and iterative solutions to improve algorithm efficiency.

May 2023 - August 2023
Software Engineer Intern
Spring, TX
Helped develop a tool that enables developers to initiate a local service pointing at a GCP VM. This VM hosts a REST service, "Launcher", capable of executing DeterminedAI experiments within multiple containers such as Podman, Apptainer, and Enroot, all seamlessly operating atop SLURM or PBS workload managers.
Significantly enhanced testing efficiency by transitioning CircleCI test suites from on-prem runners to GCP-based SLURM/PBS VMs, reducing test suite durations by an nearly 33% on average.
Architected and executed scripts leveraging Terraform to automate the creation of GCP instances. Additionally, displayed expertise in image creation by devising both SLURM and PBS images using Packer and Ansible, which necessitated an in-depth understanding and configuration of the two major workload managers.

May 2022 - August 2022
Software Engineer Intern
Seattle, WA
Worked collaboratively with a team of 8-10 senior software engineers to help develop the "Launcher" product that can train and run DeterminedAI machine learning models distributively on supercomputer clusters.
Tested and updated software using PyTest and CircleCI. Became familiar with the CI/CD process and corresponding skills.
Developed Bash scripts to allow developers to launch jobs remotely via REST calls under the privacy of their own user account.
Developed a tool that allows users to create a personal authentication token that gives non-root developers access to query SLURM job information on a given cluster.
Learned multiple developer skills such as Docker, Kubernetes, Maven, Unix/Linux, Bash, Go, SSL, SSH, RESTful API, and more.

December 2021 - August 2022
Mathematics and Engineering Tutor
College Station, TX
Used my knowledge of science and engineering to help various students in their respective disciplines.
Broke down complex subjects such as multi-variable calculus, linear algebra, and calculus-based physics into simpler, more easily digestible bits of information.
Worked up to 15 hours a week while simultaneously engaging in a full-time course load and maintaining an executive position in social clubs.

I am currently in the Undergraduate Research Scholars Thesis Program working under Dr. Tim Davis researching the implementations of novel graph algorithms using the GraphBLAS C API.

Here is my undergraduate thesis "Graph Clustering Algorithms in GraphBLAS". For a shorter introduction to my research, check out this research poster.

Graduating May 2024.
