About Me

Passionate about building impactful software

I'm a senior ECE student at UT Austin with a deep passion for systems programming, full-stack development, and applied AI/ML. Through three internships at Bentley Systems and undergraduate research, I've built everything from Windows CLI tools in C++ to distributed LLM inference frameworks deployed across networked edge devices.

Outside of engineering, I enjoy exploring the intersection of software and real-world systems — whether that's test automation that dramatically cuts manual effort, or mobile apps that bring communities together.

Where I've Worked

Bentley Systems

Software Development Intern · Full-stack Development

June 2025 – Aug 2025
  • Built a Windows CLI tool in C++ with the Win32 API to inject version metadata and icons into executables, automating a previously manual step in the build automation pipeline.
  • Extended the Dita Open Toolkit with a custom plugin that injects JavaScript and CSS to render an interactive, collapsible sidebar navigation that preserves document structure across all generated pages.
  • Contributed to the open-source JEuclid project, debugging and extending its Java MathML-to-SVG conversion and resolving Maven build and dependency failures through custom XML module configurations.

Bentley Systems

Software Engineer Intern / Co-op · Back-end Team & QA/QC

Sep 2024 – Dec 2024
  • Externalized hard-coded strings to make the product fully localizable, enabling language-independent releases.
  • Ran comprehensive regression testing on SPIDACalc, safeguarding the reliability of structural-analysis software used for utility-pole infrastructure.
  • Partnered with developers to triage, document, and resolve defects, measurably improving product quality and user experience.

Bentley Systems

Software Engineer Intern · Test Automation

May 2024 – Aug 2024
  • Built an automated testing suite in C# and TestComplete for MicroStation and Bentley's 3D-modeling products, cutting manual testing effort by over 30%.
  • Migrated and optimized legacy test functions, reducing runtime latency by 50% and accelerating the release cycle.
  • Diagnosed testing bottlenecks with cross-functional teams and integrated fixes that raised overall test coverage.

Jarvis — UT Austin Research

Undergraduate Research Assistant

Feb 2025 – Dec 2025
  • Engineered a distributed inference framework that deploys LLMs across 12 networked edge devices via dynamic layer allocation over TCP, cutting inference latency and improving fault tolerance in resource-constrained settings.

University of Texas at Austin

Teaching Assistant · C, C++, Java

Aug 2024 – Present
  • Instruct students in C, C++, and Java fundamentals — imperative programming, OOP, multithreading, and REST APIs — through recitations and one-on-one office hours.
  • Developed an automated grading program that cut grading time and improved scoring consistency across coding assignments.

University of Texas at Austin

Lab Assistant

Aug 2023 – May 2024
  • Wrote unit testing & libraries for TM4C Microcontrollers in C, C++, and Assembly(x86), enhancing work efficiency for students by 40%.
  • Organized important lab equipment and ensured an efficient work environment for both student and faculty members.
Projects

Things I've Built

LC-3b Cycle Level Simulator

Built a cycle-accurate simulator of the LC-3b microarchitecture in C, modeling the datapath and control logic to reinforce low-level understanding of pipelined processor execution.

CAssemblyLinux

Quad — Student Engagement iOS App

Developed a native iOS app supporting account registration, class-schedule sharing, and real-time group chat, focusing on usability and scalability for student organizations.

SwiftiOS

HornsDeal — UT Student Marketplace

Led development of a secure, Facebook-Marketplace-style trading platform gated to UT students via a university-affiliated authentication system.
