• Team: Amazon RDS for Db2 (Managed IBM Db2 Database Services on AWS RDS Infrastructure)
• Engineered an in-place state mutation engine, transforming a days-long O(n) backup/restore process into a ~15-second O(1) in-place mutation operation by directly mutating filesystem, catalog, and metadata states.
• Designed crash recovery mechanisms, idempotent execution, and distributed locking (check-locks/concurrency barriers) to guarantee system resilience and consistency during unexpected mid-operation failures.
• Developed a comprehensive threat model to identify potential attack vectors introduced by low-level filesystem mutations and authored corresponding security mitigations.

• Spearheaded a team fine-tuning open-source LLMs (Llama 3.2 3B) and engineered specialized prompt architectures for tutoring 200+ students, replacing monolithic enterprise API dependencies for lower latency & pricing.
• Developed a runtime evaluation algorithm inspired by matrix completion (Netflix problem) to analyze feedback using TutorBench (Scale AI benchmark) and drive model optimization.

• Taught database concepts in Java (SQL, relational models, normalization, indexing, and ORM), held weekly office hours, and monitored online discussions, effectively guiding 200+ students through complex query design and schema optimization.
• Led weekly labs for 20+ students on breadboarding, ARM ASM, and computer architecture concepts.
• Evaluated coursework and guided 10+ students on Unix/Linux, shell scripting, file management, and version control.

• Guided students (K-12) through individualized Kumon Math and Reading programs, fostering independent learning and problem-solving skills.
• Maintained accurate records of student attendance, progress, and worksheet completion.
• Effectively managed small groups of students working on different levels and subjects simultaneously.

• Collaborated with a team of students to develop and optimize machine learning models for computer vision and AI applications.
• Applying Python and TensorFlow to preprocess datasets, train models, and analyze research outcomes.

• Collaborated with a student Agile team to engineer a documentation-parsing chatbot with RAG pipelines for 50+ employees.
• Engineered an NLP pipeline with NLTK and TensorFlow to fine-tune a BERT model, improving parsing efficiency by 25%.
• Delivered a live demo to stakeholders and showcased research outcomes at a campus-wide expo, reaching 200+ attendees.

• Managed a $500 budget and served as liaison with Purdue’s Business Office, ensuring compliance with financial policies.
• Secured funding and coordinated logistics for 5+ campus events per semester, improving engagement for 30+ participants.

• Guiding incoming freshmen within the College of Science regarding coursework, lifestyle, and activities.

• Led and facilitated engaging coding workshops for middle school students using the Scratch programming language.

• Mentored student teams by helping debug technical issues and improve project functionality.
• Collaborated with participants to troubleshoot code and offer real-time feedback on design and implementation.

• Contributed to the strategic planning of the council's annual career outreach programs, aiming to increase student engagement and career preparedness.
• Expanded the network of industry contacts available to Purdue science students by actively seeking out new partnerships.

• Analysing multi-variate linear regression, data cleaning, model creation, and evaluation using R
• Completed research from scratch (accumulating papers, identifying important variables, generating & refining a statistical model, and evaluating its importance)
