I build software that has to work in the real world - a campus navigation app used across a 200-acre high school, environmental controls for a lunar habitat concept, and avionics for a student-built rocket engine. My work sits where code meets hardware, from A* routing and Firebase backends to PCB design and astronomical data analysis.

Where I have worked

Software Engineering Intern

Allen High School Map and Availability Internship · Allen, TX
Jun 2024 - Aug 2025
  • Co-developed a cross-platform Android/iOS navigation application for a 200-acre high school campus, letting students move between classes using real-time GPS routing and path optimization.
  • Engineered core features in React Native and Expo - Firebase authentication (sign-in/sign-up), interactive campus maps built on QGIS data, schedules, availability tracking, and user settings.
  • Implemented the A* search algorithm to compute efficient travel routes across campus, and worked directly with Allen High School administrators on deployment and adoption across the student body.

Research Assistant - Dr. Lee

UTRGV High Scholars Program · Edinburg, TX
May 2024 - Aug 2024
  • Conducted astronomy and physics research to determine the best filter in the ugrizy set for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time at Rubin Observatory when applying the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) distance method.
  • Constructed TRGB color-magnitude diagrams across varying stellar ages and metallicities, comparing the ugrizy filters against one another using simulated survey data.
  • Presented the findings as a research poster and written paper.

Selected Projects

What I have built

A mix of team-led competition work, internship engineering, and things I built because I wanted them to exist.
