Google Summer of Code
Software Developer at NumFOCUS
May 2, 2026 – Present
- Designed a zero-downtime migration strategy that intercepts legacy API calls and routes them to a new Builder backend with targeted FutureWarning deprecations, cutting irrelevant parameters by 70%.
- Built a streaming-ready data preprocessing seam by decoupling z-score computation from model instantiation, reducing initialization memory complexity from O(N) to O(1), enabling out-of-core training for massive datasets.
- Overhauled the CI pipeline with 30+ rewritten unit tests featuring rigorous tensor shape assertions and neural network wiring validation, ensuring stability across 60+ test runs per commit.
IBM
Contributor at Qiskit Advocate Mentorship Program
October 2, 2025 – January 2026
- Built QuDET 2, a Python framework that consolidates ML pipeline infrastructure into reusable, configurable modules, reducing per-pipeline setup overhead by 89% and standardizing deployment across teams.
- Developed a pluggable data governance layer with AES-128 encryption, role-based access control, automated audit logging, and statistical drift detection, reducing governance-related infrastructure code by 87%.
Amazon
Mentee at Machine Learning Summer School
August 2025 – Sept 2025
- Selected among the top 3,000 candidates out of over 134,000+ applicants to receive a month-long mentorship from Amazon scientists on Machine Learning.
- Gained specialized knowledge in modern AI technologies, including Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and Deep Neural Networks.
