San Diego Mesa College

Project Assistant, 8/2024 - Present

In my role as a Project Assistant at San Diego Mesa College, I developed userscripts to automate the lookup and qualification process for students in the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services (EOPS). This automation streamlined administrative tasks and ensured eligible students received their benefits promptly through the SDCCD portal.

I also assisted in the input and automation of Child Care and Financial Aid processes, enhancing efficiency and accuracy across departments.

Additionally, I managed billing for military personnel using the TA Voucher system, ensuring precise and timely processing of tuition assistance for service members.

CW3E, Scripps Institution of Oceanography

Scholar Intern, 1/2022 - 9/2022

During my tenure at CW3E, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, I was tasked to refine and optimize the Surface Meteorology Systems webpage. I developed an enhanced user interface that led to a 20% increase in user engagement. In addition, I moved the non-structured data (generated-plot images) to PostgreSQL to better help query and manage data. These server optimizations led to better query and achieved a 15% reduction in data storage needs.

Beyond the technical feats, my involvement extended to Antarctic climate research, specifically the AR/Foehn project. I used Python to help interpret global climate models, and gain greater insights from these environmental studies.

Other than just technical work, I also engaged in an educational event with CW3E and Groundwork San Diego to host Webster Elementary School students at Scripps Pier to learn about ARs and extreme weather, to inspire the next generation of scientists. Read more

NASA/CaSGC Microcomputer & Robotics, San Diego, CA

Project Intern, 9/2021 - 2/2022

The project internship at NASA/CaSGC was a voyage of discovery and innovation. My team developed a Svelte-based dashboard for a weather station on a Rover, to control the robot in real time via web app. We assembled the robot, create a wiring diagram using Frizing, and modified the sensors's offset in python to improve the accurate by 15%. In this project, I personally implemented and deployed a Raspberry Pi server, reducing the delay in connections in 2 devices from 3s to <1s.

My crowning achievement was designing and implementing a WebSocket system. This ensured real-time integration of sensor data; a leap forward in our project's capabilities.

CNPT Software Company & AzWebPlus co., Ltd, Da Nang, Vietnam

Android Developer, 2/2017 - 3/2018

My journey as an Android Developer in Vietnam was collaborative excellence. I led the development of an Android flight booking app, focusing on the nuances of optimizing memory management and multithreading. We collaborated closely with the product and design teams, culminating in a custom native user interface that not only enhanced the mobile app experience but also boosted mobile weekly active users by 5%. My individual contribution to the tech community included designing and building two reusable Android libraries, setting a new standard for code integrity and validity.
