Where I've made
an impact.

From orbit to the classroom — a track record of engineering excellence and leadership in high-stakes environments.

CubeSat Software Team Lead
Satellite Project · SpaceX Transporter Mission
Nov 2022 – Mar 2025
  • Led the full software engineering lifecycle for a nano-satellite, culminating in a successful orbital deployment and signal acquisition during the SpaceX Transporter mission (March 2025).
  • Developed embedded firmware in C, implementing custom communication protocols to achieve reliable telemetry transmission and on-board memory management.
  • Engineered a priority-based Power Management System (PMS) that optimized energy consumption during eclipse phases, ensuring continuous operation of all critical subsystems.
  • Coordinated cross-functional integration between avionics hardware teams and software logic, meeting strict flight-readiness deadlines under rigorous safety constraints.
Robotics Team Coach
FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC)
Sep 2022 – Apr 2025
  • Architected robot control systems in Java, implementing PID controllers and sensor fusion to achieve precise autonomous navigation sequences with high scoring accuracy at regional events.
  • Resolved critical hardware-software integration conflicts by analyzing low-level technical documentation and debugging electromechanical interface issues under high-pressure competition conditions.
  • Coordinated match strategy and alliance communications, leading the team to measurable tactical improvements across competitive seasons.
Teaching Assistant & Grader
Academic & High School Institutions
Oct 2024 – Present
  • Evaluate assignments for Computer Science and Mathematics courses, delivering rapid, high-quality feedback to large student cohorts.
  • Review code submissions with a focus on clean architecture, design patterns, and edge-case handling in both OOP and procedural paradigms.
  • Identify comprehension bottlenecks and craft targeted technical explanations that bridge theory and practice.
Private Tutor & Mentor
Self-Employed / Remote
Apr 2025 – Present
  • Design personalized reinforcement plans that produce measurable improvement in student performance across Object-Oriented Programming and Calculus.
  • Develop custom curricula for Linux environments and procedural programming to bridge gaps between theoretical fundamentals and applied development.
  • Mentor students in debugging complex algorithmic logic, fostering independent problem-solving skills and engineering intuition.
Projects

Things I've built.

Research-grade projects combining systems engineering, applied AI, and full-stack development.

AI-Powered Automated Code Grader
A fully offline, privacy-first code grading system powered by a local LLM (DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-8B). Uses Chain-of-Thought reasoning to provide step-by-step educational explanations for mathematical and algorithmic errors — no cloud APIs required.
  • Achieved 60% reduction in VRAM via GGUF quantization (q4_k_m), enabling real-time inference on consumer hardware
  • Detects complex logic bugs including Race Conditions and Infinite Loops with deep semantic analysis
  • Fully offline architecture ensures zero data leakage — ideal for secure academic environments
  • Integrated Unsloth + Ollama for optimized model management and Python streaming

Full-Stack Task Manager
A production-quality MVC Task Manager application built with Java Spring Boot and PostgreSQL. Features a scalable layered architecture with RESTful API endpoints consumed by a custom HTML/JS frontend.
  • Seamless data persistence with PostgreSQL backed by Hibernate/JPA entity relationships
  • Scalable Service and Repository layers following Spring Boot best practices
  • RESTful API design exposing full CRUD operations to frontend clients
  • Custom HTML/CSS/JS frontend consuming REST endpoints with no external frameworks
Java Spring Boot PostgreSQL Hibernate/JPA REST API HTML/JS
CubeSat Embedded Firmware
Mission-critical embedded software for a nano-satellite launched aboard SpaceX Transporter (March 2025). Responsible for telemetry, power management, and real-time hardware-software coordination in a constrained orbital environment.
  • Successfully deployed — signal acquired post-launch during SpaceX Transporter mission
  • Priority-based Power Management System ensured continuous operation through eclipse phases
  • Custom communication protocols for reliable telemetry and memory management
  • Passed rigorous flight-readiness review under strict aerospace safety standards
