Exiger – Product Operations Intern

• Performed end-to-end production failure analysis across backend services, REST APIs, and data pipelines in high-traffic customer-facing environments, resolving 50+ client-reported issues weekly and reducing average resolution time by 18%.
• Analyzed production logs and Kibana dashboards to identify recurring failure patterns across distributed services under sustained operational load, partnering with DevOps to prioritize backend and infrastructure fixes that drove a 30% reduction in ticket volume.
• Built a Client Friction Heatmap using Python to aggregate and normalize Salesforce and Zendesk data across workflows spanning multiple customer touchpoints, surfacing systemic bottlenecks that reduced customer onboarding time by 14%.

Amazon – Software Development Engineer Intern

• Engineered and deployed a resilient ETCD health-monitoring and alerting system across 14+ EKS clusters, reducing average incident response time by 40% through automated real-time detection and observability pipelines under sustained production load.
• Calibrated CloudWatch alarm thresholds and event-driven workflows with AWS SNS, Lambda, and Step Functions, cutting recurring false positives by 30% while enabling significantly earlier detection of ETCD health anomalies in Kubernetes clusters.
• Redesigned Lambda-based infrastructure and integrated Silvermine APIs to improve ETCD version compatibility, decrease deployment failures, and boost overall system performance by 25% through fully automated CI/CD release pipelines.

Bloomberg – Software Engineer Intern

• Built a real-time Flink-based event windowing and segmentation system for high-frequency Instant Bloomberg messages, enabling nearly 2 times faster compliance validation across distributed financial data pipelines for institutional trading clients.
• Engineered a custom Apache Flink stateful aggregation operator to reconstruct structured transcripts from raw event streams at scale, supporting 500+ concurrent users while improving auditability and increasing end-to-end throughput by 18%.
• Accelerated stream performance by refactoring memory management and tuning event-time watermarking, reducing late data accumulation by 22% and increasing pipeline reliability across high-volume, latency-sensitive production environments.

NASA – Product Strategy Fellow

• Defined product scope and success metrics for COCOA Swarm, an AI-enabled Mars microbot platform, evaluating autonomy, mobility, and sensor payload tradeoffs to prioritize features aligned with life-detection feasibility and mission constraints.
• Owned roadmap and milestone planning for proposal delivery, working with subsystem leads and NASA SMEs to translate technical constraints into a phased development plan and competitive proposal submission.

Columbia Undergraduate Student Life (USL) - Social Media Coordinator

• Owned and grew the USL Instagram by creating and publishing posts, stories, reels, and short-form video content, analyzing Instagram Insights to drive a 19% increase in followers and a 45% lift in engagement across student-facing campaigns.
• Measured performance across reach, impressions, story taps, and profile visits, iterating on content calendars and visual design (posters, graphics, reels) to optimize engagement and visibility among undergraduate audiences
