Work Experience
Graduate Teaching Assistant

University of California Davis | Davis, CA | Oct 2023 - Jul 2025

  • •Engineered an automated Python testing pipeline to validate student code, reducing manual grading time by 90% and delivering real-time feedback.
  • •Led weekly technical lectures and live coding demos for 100+ students a quarter, covering advanced topics including concurrent programming in Java and low-level system architecture using C and RISC-V.
  • •Awarded the 2025 CS Teaching Assistant Excellence Award from a pool of 50+ TAs for outstanding mentorship.
    • Computer Vision Engineering Intern

    University of Nebraska Lincoln | Lincoln, NE | May 2022 - Aug 2022

  • •Deployed and managed a real-time Linux-based environment for high-performance computing workloads, optimizing system configurations for stability on resource-constrained hardware.
  • •Conducted extensive benchmarking of system architectures, reducing latency by 30% by identifying bottlenecks and implementing optimal hardware-software configurations.
    • IT Support Specialist

    Yosemite Community College District | Modesto, CA | Aug 2019 - Dec 2021

  • •Managed the full lifecycle of 40+ weekly incidents in ServiceNow, performing root cause analysis for Windows/​macOS and network errors to ensure strict adherence to SLA uptime targets.
  • •Troubleshot and resolved complex VPN connectivity issues to secure remote access points, maintaining business continuity for off-site faculty and staff.
    • Projects

    Stack: Terraform, Azure Sentinel (SIEM), KQL, Logic Apps, Azure Blob Storage, Azure Static Web Apps

  • •Deployed a public-facing "honeypot" VM using Terraform to intentionally attract and log live RDP brute-force attacks, ingesting 10,000+ failed login attempts into Microsoft Sentinel for analysis.
  • •Engineered a serverless SOAR playbook using Azure Logic Apps to automatically query attacker IP addresses against a geolocation API and plot the data on a live Threat Intelligence Map.
  • •Utilized Kusto Query Language (KQL) to parse raw security event logs, extracting critical metadata (Source IP, Timestamp, Protocol) to identify global attack patterns.

    • Stack: Go (Golang), React, TypeScript, Docker, gopacket

  • •Developed a custom network diagnostic tool capable of parsing and visualizing PCAP (Packet Capture) files, enabling granular inspection of TCP/​IP traffic for anomaly detection.
  • •Built a parallel packet processing engine using Go routines to handle high-throughput dumps (1.1M packets/​sec), designed to troubleshoot network latency and packet loss faster than standard Python scripts.
