Software Engineering Intern

• Improve a private Next.js/TypeScript customer portal across customer/admin workflows, Firebase-backed application behavior, authentication/session handling, dashboard status logic, project-management API integration, and automated tests.
• Consolidated customer workflow tools into a tabbed portal experience with feature gating, legacy redirects, accessibility guardrails, navigation-history handling, and route/component test coverage.
• Improved project-data reliability by paginating work-item counts, forcing refreshes through route/gateway cache layers, preventing stale overlapping reads, and deriving project states from work-item counts.
• Contribute to AI Gateway architecture for OpenAI-compatible model-call routing, including task-aware policy, model registry logic, cost/rate controls, fallback chains, observability, and versioned decision records.

BGSU Developer Club

Science & Technology

Founder & President

• I started this club because I kept meeting students sitting on a great idea with no one to think it through with, so I built the room I desperately wished I'd had when I was a beginner staring at a blank editor.
• We sit down together and turn a vague idea into something real: scoping it, picking a stack, and getting that first version shipped instead of letting it quietly die in a notes app.
• Nothing beats the moment in a one-on-one when someone lands their first commit or their first deploy and you watch it click. That flicker of "wait, I can actually build this" is the whole reason I do it.

Bowling Green State University

Social Services

International Student Ambassador

• I moved halfway across the world to study here, so I remember exactly how overwhelming and quietly lonely those first few months can be. This is my way of making them a little gentler for the students arriving after me.
• I help international students find their footing across the personal, social, and academic sides of a brand-new life, and more than anything I try to be the familiar face they can come to on the hard days, so no one feels like they're figuring it all out alone. :)

Bowling Green State University Graduate College

Social Services

Academic Affairs, Graduate Student Senate

• I serve as the voice and liaison for graduate students, speaking up for the concerns they don't always feel comfortable raising on their own so they actually reach the university.
• What drives me here is simple: every student deserves to feel heard. So I carry their academic concerns into Senate discussions and stay with them until they're genuinely addressed, not just acknowledged.

International Student Ambassador

• This was the very first place I ever gave my time, and it's the one that's stayed closest to my heart: sitting with new international students through that disorienting first stretch and watching Bowling Green slowly turn into home for them, the same way it quietly became mine. :)
