Experience

TPM Intern - Google

June 2024 – Aug 2024

• Saved the StratOps team 80 hours per quarter by leveraging GoogleSQL to develop a robust, scalable, and automated data analysis workflow, providing insights into resource and time allocation for programs.

• Proactively implemented an analytics dashboard providing faster access to real-time insights for leadership; it is being used by 9+ decision-makers across business units in Core Data for strategic planning every quarter.

Software Engineering Intern - GoTo Inc.

Jan 2023 – Jun 2023

• Reduced customer checkout time by 50% by implementing an address autofill feature using Java EE, JavaScript, and Google Places API, enhancing the user experience in GoTo's service checkout process.

• Drove the adoption phase for migration to the Common Identity Platform, by integrating APIs and refactoring legacy user management code; delivering a high-priority project ahead of schedule in a ambiguous environment.

Projects

Mental Health Status Classification

Nov 2024 - Dec 2024

Fine-tuned BERT with optimized training configurations for mental health classification, achieving 92% accuracy and 97% F1 score across 7 categories. Developed a real-time inference web app using Streamlit.

Deep Learning PyTorch Transformers NLTK streamlit

Machine Learning Model Deployment

Jan 2024 - May 2024

Improved a baseline model (accuracy: 67.64% , inference time: 1.28s) through architecture selection and hyperparameter tuning. Trained a Xception model (accuracy-focused: 89.75%, inference time: 1.19s) and a MobileNetV2 model (latency-focused: 86.47%, inference time: 0.05s).

Deployed a highly scalable and available system by experimenting with various Kubernetes configurations. Achieved horizontal scaling and optimized resource efficiency by balancing the accuracy vs. latency trade-off.
