Experience

Summer 2026

Software Engineer Intern · AMD

Austin, TX

I engineered a FastAPI backend that let debug engineers integrate custom agents into an existing post-silicon triage platform, horizontally scaled with Kubernetes and Redis Streams, and delivered a 6x speedup in server CPU register data analysis by bridging a legacy Ruby debug SDK to a Rust signal-searching engine over sockets and JRPC. I built an internal FastMCP server exposing 20+ debug tools to LLM agents for AI-assisted hardware debugging, developed an automated eval framework that optimized LLM selection by scoring cost, latency, tool-calling correctness, and synthesis accuracy with CI/CD auto-evaluation of new releases, and optimized a Rust scan search tool with cached signal matching and parallel processing to enable search across 100+ scans with no slowdown over a single scan.

Software Engineer Intern · AMD

Austin, TX

I built a CPU trace system for EPYC server processors with three components: a Rust decoder that parsed raw trace data into signals for post-silicon debug analysis; a full-stack visualization platform (FastAPI, React, SQL, S3) for uploading and collaboratively sharing trace files; and a Python tracing library that abstracted trace complexity and enabled automated tracing of EPYC processors.

Software Engineer · printpal.io

Chicago, IL

Worked on a social marketplace platform for 100,000+ 3D printing users in Flask, JavaScript, SQL (printpal.io). Implemented features including infinite scrolling with Redis caching, distributed task processing with Celery, and Elasticsearch-powered search for users and models. Built a Swift mobile app connected to backend AI models that allows users to generate and preview AI 3D models from text and images. Shipped an admin dashboard with real-time analytics visualizations.

Software Engineer · Disruption Lab

Champaign, IL

Worked on an AI-driven customer discovery platform to help founders validate pain points through simulated multi-turn interviews. Implemented a conversation pipeline with the OpenAI API for natural discovery flows and structured qualitative feedback. Developed a responsive React/Next.js frontend for managing interview sessions, state, and real-time responses.

AI Engineer Intern · FANUC America

Hoffman Estates, IL

Led the development of an on-premises RAG chatbot using LangChain and C# that allowed engineers to query CNC documentation conversationally. Developed and tested a PDF chunking strategy in C# that optimized retrieval quality from CNC documentation. Built a test framework and benchmarks using real production queries to accurately measure and optimize model performance. Researched emerging LLM techniques to create a roadmap for future development.
