      Summer Camp Counselor

      As a Camp Counselor, my job was to provide a safe and fun environment for the campers. I would report from Monday to Friday to ensure this. Occasionally, situations would arise when I had to step in, but thankfully, there weren't many of them; overall, this job provided a tremendous early experience. I also worked at this job from June 2019 to August 2019.

      Food Service Worker

      At this job, I usually handled sanitation, but I occasionally helped with serving food. I would usually serve lunch three days per week and have a lunch break sometime during my shift. Due to COVID-19, I was forced to leave this job quickly, but I did gain valuable experience in communication, handling customers, and teamwork.

      Intern

      At PIMOSH, I was a supervisor who helped organize events like Tech-Titans. Additionally, I tutored students on subjects like reading and mathematics. During Tech-Titians, we had the students complete computer science activities, such as creating a game using Scratch. My coworkers and I also started on a software app for PIMOSH that would help take attendance and allow educators to post assignments.

      AI Software Engineer

      As an AI Software Engineer at Astro AI Trading, I am responsible for developing an AI program that utilizes a Machine Learning model known as Linear Regression in Python to analyze stocks and output data that will be useful to the user. When the data analysis is complete, I put the result in a PostgreSQL database so it can be easily accessed by the backend team for display purposes. Our goal is to have our program perform linear regression every 24 hours.

      Intern

      At Edukona, I volunteered to help the University of North Carolina at Charlotte develop an educational app for students and instructors. The app aims to provide an easy and interactive way for students to learn and for instructors to create quizzes and lessons. Quizzes are created by recordings that the instructor uploads; the AI translates the recording into a quiz of either three, five, or ten questions. By utilizing React for the front end and Django for the back end, I have significantly contributed to this project. I have used React for tasks like adjusting the top navbar of the main page and Django for tasks like creating a GET endpoint for retrieving lecture summaries. Show less
