      Nov 2021 - Jan 2023
      Student Researcher

      As part of the Mixer Lab, a computational neuropsychology research lab at UNT's College of Informatics, I helped develop the Virtual Environment Grocery Store (VEGS), an innovative and immersive virtual screening for age-based cognitive disorders like Alzheimer's disease to replace traditional paper and pencil tests.- Developed and tested VEGS alongside the research team with Unity and PlasticSCM- Helped collect, store, and analyze 30+ metrics from dozens of participants using electroencephalogram (EEG) software and a SQL database- Optimized memory and processor usage, increasing simulation framerate performance by over 50% Meno dettagli

      Jan 2024 - Jan 2024
      Software Development Engineer (SDE) Intern

      As a software development intern in AWS Identity and Access Management, I researched, designed, and implemented an internal tool to allow on-call engineers to intelligently explore and retrieve data from a non-relational datastore via an intuitive web interface. This overhaul for the existing CLI-based tool will speed up ticket resolution times, improve ease-of-use, and provide finer-grained access control in dealing with customer data.- Designed, implemented, and tested three new APIs connecting two services to the internal tool- Developed a clean, easy-to-use website interface that leaves room for future features and cross-team adoption- Worked with experienced engineers to incorporate industry frameworks and security best practices for resiliency and extensibility to future use cases Meno dettagli
