Partnering with clients and cross\u2011functional teams, I translated complex business needs into scalable technical architectures that delivered measurable business value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, at the <strong>Foundation for Resilient Societies<\/strong>, I built an end-to-end data pipeline for U.S. power plant analytics and developed machine learning models to forecast outage risk\u2014directly supporting decision-making for critical energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>CDM Smith<\/strong>, I applied electrical engineering fundamentals and automation by building <strong>Python\u2011based regression models<\/strong> to accelerate solar array design and standardize workflows across engineering projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <strong>Quill AI<\/strong>, I gained full-stack experience by developing user features using <strong>SvelteKit<\/strong> and improving the reliability of <strong>backend systems powered by OpenAI<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through <strong>MIT\u2019s Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) at the Device Realization Design Lab and Tangible Media Group<\/strong>, I led and contributed to advanced machine learning research, including 3D reconstruction pipelines in <strong>PyTorch and a retrieval\u2011augmented generation (RAG) question\u2011answering platform<\/strong>. These projects strengthened my ability to take ML systems from research to deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, my leadership as <strong>President of the MIT Bitcoin Club<\/strong> demonstrates my ability to manage teams, coordinate large\u2011scale initiatives, and drive projects from concept to execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TECHNICAL SKILLS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My technical toolkit includes a diverse range of skills.
