EXPERIENCE
2021
Engineering Analyst Intern
Goldman Sachs
Built API suites to detect abnormalities and provide analysis and visualizations on Interest Rate Top Sheet Aggregation jobs to calculate risk of positions and assets after shocks to interest rates, automated the existing process of monitoring the health of production pipelines, and created a frontend interactive dashboard for users to input specific parameters for statistical analysis and anomaly data
2020
Apple
Software Engineering Intern
Designed and programmed a full stack web application by implementing frontend in HTML, CSS, and Javascript, backend with Python and Flask framework, Chiron and Scapy API framework for IPv6 checks, and databasing in MySQL to test IPv6 network resiliency and IPv6 host implementations to improve Apple's overall network in Enterprise, Datacenters, Retail, and PCI-BZ transactions
