Experience

Smartcar

Software Engineer II

Dec 2021 — May 2025 | Mountain View, CA (Remote)

  • Owned development of dozens of full-stack API features connecting 35+ car brands, enabling developers to interact with connected vehicles through a unified, consent-based interface
  • Built a sliding window rate-limiting system to prevent traffic bursts and reduce upstream errors, improving API stability and reliability for developers
  • Engineered real-time ingestion pipelines for streaming vehicle data, integrating Firehose/Kinesis data into analytics tools for observability
  • Developed Backend-for-Frontend service to support a redesigned Developer Dashboard, enabling data-driven UX features and customer usage analytics, boosting dashboard engagement by 30%
  • Regularly contributed to cross-functional project planning, writing and scoping tickets, and mentoring junior teammates on debugging, automated testing (Selenium, Jest, Mocha), monitoring, and log instrumentation
  • Promoted twice in less than 3 years - setting a company record

USC Information Sciences Institute (ISI), AI Division

Summer Research Intern

May 2018 — Aug 2019 | Los Angeles, CA

  • Collaborated with researchers at a global neuroimaging consortium to design a structured knowledge base with semantic search capabilities via SPARQL — enabling neuroscience teams worldwide to query and explore interconnected research data
  • Designed data transformation logic for T2WML, a tool for mapping tabular data to Wikidata, enabling ingestion of large CSV datasets (e.g. 2M+ rows) into structured knowledge graphs

Deep Brain Neurotech Lab

Research Intern & Peer Mentor

Aug 2017 — Jan 2019 | College Park, MD

  • Built and simulated biologically realistic neuronal networks in NEURON using Python, modelling biochemical neural activity under an FDA M-CERSI grant to support non-invasive treatments for neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., TMS, EMS)
  • Partnered with clinical researchers to identify and resolve data inconsistencies in 3D neuroimaging outputs, refining simulation results for accuracy and reliability
  • Trained and mentored 40+ students, facilitating peer learning and tool usage
