Experience

Lunar Outpost
May 2025 - August 2025

Software Engineer Intern

Lunar Outpost

  • Architected the command and telemetry pipeline for Lunar Outpost’s rover fleet consistent with NASA CCSDS standards, collaborating cross-functionally with teams to unify communication across mission operations
  • Designed a control-plane API for the in-house ground software platform, enabling scalable mission configuration management and automated provisioning of EC2-based mission environments through AWS CDK pipelines
  • Refactored microservices architecture for command dispatch, authorization, and event streaming with Grafana-based observability for telemetry visualization, containerized and orchestrated with Docker/Kubernetes
UMD
Aug 2023 - Oct 2024

Research Assistant

UMD CMNS-Astronomy Department

  • Conducted comprehensive simulations and detailed modeling of NASA's DART mission focusing on the first-ever planetary defense strategy against potentially hazardous asteroids
  • Developed a multi-threaded analysis algorithm to process and aggregate simulation outputs, optimizing GPU utilization and reducing compute latency across UMD’s high-performance computer cluster
  • Parallelized Fortran + MPI pipelines to scale across hundreds of GPU nodes, achieving significant speedup in large-scale Monte Carlo light scattering simulations
Martek
Jun 2023 - Aug 2023

AI Engineer Intern

Martek Global Services

  • Built RAG-backed resume screening system powered by GPT-4 and a Pinecone vector database to retrieve and rank candidate profiles for federal proposals, enabling natural language queries across thousands of resumes
  • Leveraged LangChain for model operations and fine-tuning, optimizing language generation accuracy for quick and efficient resume analysis
