Intern Data Scientist specializing in computer vision and LLM agents

Sunnyvale, CA0y exp

“Software engineering candidate with hands-on experience building and shipping LLM agents: created a production AI enrichment/coding agent at Covalent Metrology using Apollo.io + OpenAI, and built a Mistral hackathon router that dynamically selects among models to reduce token cost while maintaining quality. Also developed a real-time financial margin analysis agent that emails actionable insights and iterated on reliability issues (e.g., fixing misrouted emails, improving news relevance filtering).”

“Senior/brand designer with portfolio work spanning fintech and AI SaaS, including leading the Daylight Grow launch for an LGBTQ+ audience across multiple channels (web, social, email, events, merch, OOH). Expanded Cleanlab’s Figma design system in close partnership with engineering and led visual QA to support fast, high-volume iteration without quality drift; also drove direct mail + landing page redesigns for Happy Money to improve acquisition performance.”

“Full-stack engineer with startup experience who owned end-to-end features on Impact’s Hiring Solutions platform, including a hiring inbox spanning React UI and Postgres data models; the product helped drive 500+ jobs filled shortly after launch. Comfortable designing modern React/TypeScript + Node architectures (GraphQL, testing, migrations) and operating on AWS (RDS, EC2/Fargate, S3, Datadog, CircleCI). Also founded their own startup (Bibbr) and made early-stage stack/infrastructure decisions under high ambiguity.”

“Full-stack engineer with fintech/trading domain experience (Fidelity) and startup SaaS CRM/billing platform work (Zoho), building real-time portfolio analytics and trade-processing systems. Strong in microservices, event-driven architectures (Kafka/WebSockets), and AWS/Kubernetes operations with measurable performance gains (~34–35% latency reduction) and maintainability improvements (~40% faster deployments). Targeting a founding full-stack engineer role in NYC with meaningful equity.”

Los Angeles, CA4y exp

“Operations/project management intern with hands-on procurement and supply chain analytics experience: owned end-to-end sourcing and vendor negotiations for a 20,000 sq ft luxury estate and helped recover a project that was 2 months behind schedule. At DHL Supply Chain (Campbell’s account), built Power BI dashboards from WMS (Blue Yonder) data and used time studies to uncover a six-figure labor cost issue, influencing multi-stakeholder operational changes.”

Junior Game Designer/Unity Developer specializing in systems and combat design

Boston, MA3y exp

“MMORPG numerical/economy designer who built and tuned a dual-currency system (gold/agate), progression gates, and late-game sinks using quantitative models (including exponential curves) and telemetry segmentation by player level/assets. Implemented engagement drivers like roguelike repeatable dungeons and weekly leaderboard rewards, and partnered cross-functionally to resolve economy risks such as item tradability to keep outputs stable and controllable.”

Mid-Level Software Developer specializing in Android frameworks and performance

4y exp

“System-level Android/Java engineer (Motorola) who owned and shipped production reliability fixes in critical services, including resolving a race condition in Android UserManagerService that allowed concurrent duplicate clone-profile creation. Strong focus on correctness, invariants, concurrency safety, and observability; ramping toward product/full-stack work (Next.js/React/Postgres) with solid architectural grounding.”

Helped build and scale a team at Turo from founding member to ~10 people, and is motivated by ownership, impact, and originating ideas—interested in the venture studio model and disciplined about rapid validation and execution.”

“Full-stack web developer with experience owning products from client discovery through launch and post-launch iteration, including a complete freelance build for an interior design firm and a large-scale React/TypeScript migration during an internship at Gateway Ticketing Systems. Stands out for balancing strong visual design with performance and SEO, and for improving emergency-use UX in an MVP product through flow simplification and A/B testing.”
