• Built image processing software for Metal Wrap Through solar cell alignment; achieved 0–3 pixel accuracy on 16K images (0.05 mm accuracy on 166 mm object measurements).
• Produced the first data-driven diagnostic tool in 2+ years of inconclusive visual inspection, enabling engineers to isolate sources of alignment error.
• Designed centroid detection algorithms under manufacturing and imaging constraints; delivered heatmaps and vector overlays for engineering analysis.
• Introduced versioning to a multidisciplinary team, replacing ad hoc sharing with documented, reproducible Git workflows.
• Developed collaboratively with AI tools (Claude, Cursor) — writing core logic independently, then iterating with AI on design decisions while owning QA and correctness.

• Designed and tested prompts; analyzed LLM outputs alongside a team of faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students.
• Co-developed a coding schema used by the team to annotate academic literature, label LLM outputs, and evaluate model bias — a reusable framework across multiple stages of an active research project.
• Researched ethical implications of AI and ableism in LLMs.

• Selected as 1 of 25 Student Ambassadors representing 14,651 students.
• Worked directly with the university president and board of trustees; supported the event for the first donor-funded building on campus.
• Advised peers on academics and student life; collaborated on events supporting underrepresented students and campus engagement.

• Developed curriculum in JavaScript, Scratch, and GameMaker; taught programming and robotics to 100+ K–8 students.
• Trained and managed 20+ instructors — handling staff conflicts, setting performance standards, and introducing documentation for curriculum delivery.

• Cared for one seven-year-old; organized activities for learning, creativity, and growth; brought the child to and from school on public transportation.
• Cooked lunch on weekdays; helped keep the house tidy; and embraced cultural exchange with the host family and host culture.

• Shadowed journalists; researched, interviewed, and wrote articles published in the local paper.
• Sample work: Chasing the vanishing sun (eclipse), Owl attacks on the rise, Ferries Over Winslow (art installation), Earth Day’s 50th (opinion).
