Work Experience

Medical Imaging Research

Research Assistant

Aug 2024 - Feb 2025

CNN-based computer vision pipeline for simulating low-radiation chest X-ray images. Applied denoising models implemented in PyTorch to reconstruct medical images while maintaining diagnostic quality, validated on the MedMNIST dataset with strong perceptual metrics.

Maddux Mortgage

Software Engineering Intern

May 2024 - Dec 2024

Client-facing mobile application built with React Native delivering real-time mortgage market insights. Implemented features for comparing mortgage plans and calculating prices with responsive design using Figma, streamlining the decision-making process for prospective homebuyers.

Computational Neuroscience Research

Lead Researcher

May 2023 - Apr 2024

EEG signal classification system for motor restoration research using PyTorch and NumPy. Processed over 350,000 EEG samples to achieve 98.15% accuracy in predicting motor intentions. Published in Journal of High School Science and awarded 1st Place at Washington State Science Fair.

Selected Projects

Feature Flag Service with Deterministic Rollouts

January 2026

High-throughput feature flag service built with Python and FastAPI, handling over 700 requests per second with sub-12ms latency. Implements a three-tier caching architecture with Redis, PostgreSQL, and in-memory fallback for graceful degradation. Uses MurmurHash3 consistent hashing to ensure deterministic user bucketing across feature rollouts.

Quantum Diffusion Simulator

November 2025

Quantum walk simulator using Qiskit and NumPy to model network diffusion dynamics. Implements a modular Python pipeline with NetworkX and visualization tools to compare quantum and classical diffusion behaviors through entropy, coverage, and distribution metrics.

Lumbar Degeneration Classifier

Jul 2024 - Aug 2024

Deep learning system for classifying spinal degeneration severity from MRI scans. Trained CNN, EfficientNetV2, and ConvNext models on 147,000+ scans to achieve high AUC across multiple degeneration levels. Deployed as a full-stack FastAPI web application for real-time clinical inference.
