I run the official USG website serving 20,000+ students — building front-end features in HTML/CSS/JS, including a dynamic announcements system and interactive election interfaces. Built the Legislative and Senate Bill trackers and a budget Funding Tracker, and kicked off an AI campus-resource chatbot using OpenAI embeddings and RAG. Asked back for a second year.

I lead the autonomous sub's perception stack — computer vision and sonar-based object detection for underwater navigation. Trained a real-time YOLO detection pipeline, led the Kubernetes deployment of ROS services across Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson Xavier hardware, and built the team site in React + TypeScript.

Helped launch a mentoring program for first-generation and transfer students, coordinating with 30+ professors and staff and running mentor matching, scheduling, and outreach.

On the Outreach Team, I connect people with mental health resources at community events like the Sacred Music & Healing Festival and WeHo Pride — working to reduce stigma by making it easier, and more normal, to ask for help.

Completed the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline counselor training and supported people in emotional distress on the national crisis line — trained in active listening, empathy, and crisis intervention, with a focus on a safe, nonjudgmental space.
