About

Software intern at BestWork who owned an AI-powered sales performance chatbot end-to-end: React/Material UI frontend, TypeScript AWS Lambda backend, and AWS Bedrock (Llama 3) + OpenSearch knowledge base over Salesforce/HubSpot data with Slack-based weekly summaries. Worked directly with the CTO in a high-ambiguity environment, including building an audio bot from scratch just in time for a client demo, and implemented metadata-based retrieval to handle multi-team knowledge base constraints.
