• Software Design Studio Intern

  • Dec 2014 - May 2016

  I was one of nine interns in the inaugural cohort of the SDS, which develops programming skills through experiential learning and close mentorship. Over the summer of 2015, I worked with another intern to develop and release a submission interface with capabilities to automatically run and assess user-uploaded code. This service allows students to receive feedback on their code in a timely manner and has reduced the need for graders. The project is used by all students in introductory computer science classes at Reed College. Show less

  • Dec 2013 - Aug 2014

  As an engineer at GraphAlchemist, I was a core contributor to Alchemy.js, an open-source data visualization app built on top of D3.js. I designed and implemented features for Alchemy.js in addition to designing the project logos and site. During the release process, I worked with the team to organize a complete refactor of the codebase which served two functions: the abstraction the data elements from the manipulation and visualization of those elements; and the development of API endpoints. I also performed various front-end tasks, including the redesign of GraphAlchemist's company blog, a Django-based site. Show less

  • Jul 2013 - Sep 2013

  I was an intern at MiMedia from early July to late August of 2013. I worked closely with the product and project managers to develop new features and then to break them down into deliverables for the user. I also worked with a designer to determine user flow and user experience. I then wrote user stories to aid in the iterative implementation process. In my spare time, I did small tasks involving HTML and CSS. I was an intern at MiMedia from early July to late August of 2013.
