AoPS Internship Experience
Reflect with me over my learnings as a summer Software Engineer Intern at Art of Problem Solving.
Software Engineering Intern
Rice University

Me
New York, NY
I'm a passionate software engineer and Computer Science student at Rice University with a 4.0 GPA, pursuing dual BS degrees in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence with a minor in Entrepreneurship. I'm driven by the intersection of technology, AI, and innovation.
Currently, I'm gaining hands-on experience as a Software Engineering Intern at Art of Problem Solving and an Intern at Persona AI, where I work on cutting-edge robotics and AI applications. I also lead the Rover ML Subteam for the Machine Learning Club x Rice Robotics Club, developing autonomous lunar rover navigation systems.
My journey spans from competitive robotics (leading FRC Team 3647 to World Championships) to medical AI research (achieving 91% accuracy in melanoma classification), demonstrating my passion for applying technology to solve real-world problems. When I'm not coding, you can find me mountain biking, surfing, or playing soccer and volleyball.

Qualcomm
Architected DesignPlanner, a 15k+ LOC PySide6 application to configure and launch the first phase of test-chip design. Built on a clean Model-View-Presenter architecture across UI, service, and repository layers with 95% test coverage. Built a configurable framework to run jobs locally or on a distributed cluster, with multithreaded live status updates to UI. Designing an agentic layer that reads STA results and auto-recommends constraints to improve chip performance.
Art of Problem Solving (AoPS)
Proposed and led creation of an internal MCP Server with 15 tools to automate lesson insertion into the AoPS platform. Secured the server with JWT auth for both internal (Claude Desktop, whitelisted IPs) and external (OpenAI API) access. Cut lesson input time from a 20 hr tedious manual process down to 2 hrs; deployed via Docker on Kubernetes.

Persona AI
Created longform data collection script for the ALOHA robot, increasing efficiency 4x (from 0.25 → 1 data pt/min). Streamlined filtering process for remotely stored (AWS S3 storage) behavior cloning data using a Streamlit webapp.

Compass Dermatopathology
Created CNN in Python identifying 9 skin cancer lesions using TensorFlow, achieving 79% accuracy from scratch. Pivoted to lead ML research on distinguishing high/low risk melanomas (in hopes of replacing a competing $7,000 test). Adapted Harvard CLAM repo for WSI patching, segmentation, and feature extraction; 91% accuracy / 97% AUC.

Rice Apps
Co-led a 7-person team developing OwlMart, a Rice-exclusive secondhand marketplace, deployed on Coolify. Built realtime messaging and a notification system; handled infra and drove marketing to 500+ signups.
Machine Learning Club x Rice Robotics Club
Built full 4-DOF arm simulation in Genesis, designing ROS2 node architecture in Python for realtime arm control. Prototyped autonomous arm control with Moveit2 on a demo CAD model; migrated to Genesis for closed-loop kinematics.

Rice Apps
bunkmate.riceapps.orgBuilt fullstack Bunkmate app with Next.js, Supabase, React, TypeScript, TailwindCSS. Implemented search, navigation, listing editing, map integration. Launched with 500+ active users in 2 weeks; planning cross-campus expansion.

TPHS Millennium Falcons Robotics Club - FRC Team 3647
Led 55+ member team to FRC World Championships (top 1% globally). Programmed robot in Java. Won Autonomous Programming Award (2023 & 2024). Managed $100,000 budget, planned events + travel, wrote grants, maintained sponsor relations.

Built MCP server to stream real-time FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) data into LLMs. Enabled natural language queries for 23 years of team/match/event data, making robotics statistics accessible through conversational AI.
Built a marketplace for US robotics teams to exchange parts, drawing 1,500+ first-week visitors with encrypted websocket chat. Full-stack app deployed on AWS EC2 with 5 Docker containers: Vite, Django, Redis, Celery, PostgreSQL.
Winner: Best App Built on Ethereum/L2 at Berkeley Hackathon. A decentralized prescription system with QR-based, on-chain verification for doctors and pharmacists. Next.js frontend with on-chain flows on Base L2, using SBT-based credentialing with encrypted IPFS storage.
Built at HackMIT. A full-stack tool combining Next.js, Supabase, Langchain, and FastAPI.

A glimpse into my life

Exploring new places

Petting zoo event at Rice

Snapped my board in 7 foot waves

mmmm nutella 🤤

I didn't think it snowed in Houston

These parts took 8 hours straight of CNC machining
