my work

On a mission to learn as much as I can, right now the focus is on learning ML Infrastructure.

Robinhod

Software Engineering Intern, summer 2023

I joined Robinhood last summer in New York City and got to meet some amazing people. I worked both the android app and the backend, and I learned a lot about the financial industry.

  • I delivered my intern project 50% early, and undertook multiple engineering projects
  • Implemented push notifications for upcoming earnings calls using Golang with the hope of increasing equities trading volume during earnings season
  • Increased equities revenue by $150,000 by developing an Android screen to visualize trading hours for the different trading windows Robinhood offered
  • My work involved coordinating cross-functional teams, including design, engineering, and data science, to ensure seamless product alignment throughout multiple feature development cycles and experiment rollouts to increase order trade volume

Even though I decided not to return to Robinhood, I am grateful for the opportunity and most importantly the people I met who remain my lifelong friends.

Intuit

Software Engineering Intern, Spring 2023

Joined a fast-paced greenfield project to integrate OpenAI's ChatGPT into QuickBooks, taking on the responsibility of both the backend service and database schema and queries. Evaluated NoSQL databases and chose Apache Cassandra as the ideal database for our needs, designing the schema in a way that minimized costs, given our access patterns. Developed a serverless GraphQL API that introduced new functionality through utilizing AWS SQS as an async retry mechanism. Also, performed a major refactor to the backend to introduce dependency injection to reduce coupling.

  • Applied AWS cost optimization, resulting in $1.5K annual savings by cutting underutilized infrastructure
  • Implemented dependency injection, reducing code coupling and saving over 50+ hours of development time
  • Utilized AWS SQS as a re-try mechanism, reducing failing requests by 20% and improving overall system reliability
  • Independently Engineered a serverless TypeScript GraphQL micro-service utilizing a large-language model, paired with an Apache Cassandra schema optimized for write throughput and efficient access to large data-sets

Mainstream Labs
