Google

Incoming engineering intern on Google Hardware's data services team. I'll be working with services that power all Nest devices.

Yelp

Responsible for building Yelp Review Search. Any user interested in learning more about a menu or service can leverage keyword search to read specific reviews. The service, originally slow and ineffective, is now 4 times faster and far smarter. I had the opportunity to re-write Review Search's Elastic Search infrastructure and redistribute the service at a system level. In my 3 months there, I had the freedom to run my own product meetings, AB test, and build data scripts to identify gaps in search.

Mailchimp

Explored the Atlanta, GA area for the first time, while having the priveledge to work at a company that championed a self-starter attitude. Joined the Site Reliability Engineering team in improving the in house deployment infrastructure for all Mailchimp services. Namely, I developed a realtime notification system that assisted engineers in identifying build issues and signaling successful deployments. As an SRE, I learned that there is tremendous value in optimizing the development workflow, such that creators can simply build amazing features headache-free.

Bitglass

Bitglass is a per-client service that protects content for third parties that use big box cloud providers. I worked on building out the Salesforce service that enables any client to encrypt any information in the Salesforce ecosystem. Much of my work revolved around building flexible encryption protocols that could serve any custom application built on top of Salesforce's developer ecosystem.

XiQ

XiQ is the first platform to build powerful leads in minutes. Using big data service Apache Spark & in house data mining tools, the platform offers any customer the ability to learn about a company or individual within a matter of minutes. I worked on integrating IBM's Watson API into the core service; this integration added a machine-learning layer to lead generation. This was my first and only remote internship; the largest benefit to this experience was learning how to balance a full academic course load and an engineering internship.

CK-12 Foundation

The CK-12 Foundation, a non-profit invested in building next-generation technologies for K-12 students, was the first organization I had the priviledge of interning for. I began my work at CK-12 in the summer of 2008, and would return to the organization every summer till I graduated high school in 2014. In my time there, I developed an internal tool that streamlined the content citation process, an android application that gamified a large portion of their testing material, flash applications that demonstrated STEM concepts. I credit my experience at CK-12 for enabling me to build persistence, natural curiosity and professionalism.
