I (try to) build products that have a large impact on the world by creatively utilizing the latest tech.

This was definitely a unique experience with my first real exposure to big tech. It was kinda insane being surrounded by thousands of super smart engineers that have been there for years.
The level of secrecy and attention to disclosures was definitely interesting so keeping that in mind... Got the chance to create a new simulation service to transform how we measure the impact of our changes to the macOS and iOS build process. Additionally, it was fun to improve existing infrastructure and work on making our data pipelines more efficient to enable developers to see project dependency data much faster.
Although I often feel like I've experienced most tech stacks at this point, I was happy to be able to dive deep into some new ones. The service was written in Swift powered by a Splunk, Snowflake, and S3 data pipeline and orchestrated through Temporal. Developing at the scale of Apple was insanely fun with tons of architecture diagrams but also challenging having to deal with tons of niche internal tooling. Super grateful for the experience!
I can't promise you'll hit my code directly but hopefully some of my work helps gets you more powerful and cleaner operating systems :).

I came back to intern on the team. Had a blast the last time around and I didn't really see myself being able to rapidly launch fun AI products to the world with this level of impact anywhere else. Decided to be in NYC and get more experience on the ML side of things this time though.
Considering I basically owned the MyAI speech recognition service at this point, improving it was pretty low hanging fruit. Redesigned the infrastructure, added fallback models, and fine-tuned them to make the service a lot more reliable while saving over $800k a year. Apart from that I got the chance to work closely with LLMs to perform intent classification for new features while trying to reduce hallucination.
Also developed and launched the first utility feature for MyAI that allows users to set up reminders between friends through chats. Involved a good amount of prompt-engineering apart from backend work which was super fun to work on. Try asking MyAI to remind you about something and you'll hit my code :). Here are articles from TechCrunch, The Verge, and Yahoo talking about it!

I had always hoped to be able to work on something I use myself and Snapchat was an amazing way to achieve that. Got the chance to be part of a young team within the Messaging organization responsible for rapidly building the MyAI Chatbot. The internship gave me my first taste of working with Machine Learning, Generative AI, and LLMs while collaborating with the best teams in the space from OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and more.
I prototyped, built, and launched the capability to send the chatbot voice messages over the summer. Got a ton of experience with developing for scale while being exposed to the latest Gen-AI and ML. Ended up being one of the best launches in MyAI history in terms of engagement increase considering you could only text the chatbot before. Did some other cool stuff with intent classification for images that contain math and worked on prompt-engineering pipelines to ease development.
Try sending MyAI a voice message in any language and you'll hit my code :)

Shoreline.io was acquired by NVIDIA
I joined Shoreline.io, a cloud automation startup, as an intern when it was in its Series A and stayed part-time through its Series B. It was my first taste of developing in a startup environment and an awesome exposure to working with the cloud.
The majority of my work was developing a library of customized cloud automation solutions that helped monitor internal and customer systems. Just a few examples out of over 60 include resizing idle EC2s, constantly remediating config drift on K8s clusters, and catching + renewing expiring certs. Apart from that, I got to do some cool platform and data pipeline building for tools that continuously display cluster health info and metrics.

As someone that's always been passionate about the fintech space, Kiavi was a cool way to experience that side of things. As a late stage tech disruptor in the real estate industry, working with code handling huge transactions was a bunch of fun.
Worked on improving automating the process of applying incoming payments to customer accounts to eliminate all manual work.

Versett was my first internship in university and a great learning experience for developing in a team. As a design-tech consulting firm, the experience made me a better engineer but also taught me to value UX and have a product-focused approach. Got the chance to stay on part-time for a couple months after the internship.
Worked as a full-stack engineer on the Almi project and helped it through to launch.
