Professional experience
- 2025–Full-Stack DeveloperDALI Lab · Neukom Institute
- BooknBuildMakerspace software that tracks jobs through the shop, schedules machine time, and analyzes where capacity is going. Grounded the product in dozens of user interviews with shop staff and members, then moved through rapid prototyping into full-stack and mobile development.
- AI Patient ActorAn AI patient simulation platform for clinical training, used by 1,500+ medical students across 12 universities and carrying roughly 48,000 messages a month. Building the evaluation framework that tracks student progress across repeated encounters, and adapting the platform with clinical partners in Kenya and Liberia.
- LINK-VTA federally funded platform connecting Vermont residents with work-disability coaches and public benefits. Rebuilt the resource-matching logic around vector embeddings on the back of caseworker feedback, lifting recommendation relevance about 50% in internal evaluation. Six-person Agile team; pilot expected late 2026.
- 2025–26Teaching AssistantThayer School of Engineering
- ENGM 191: Product Design and DevelopmentCoached ten multidisciplinary teams through the full product design lifecycle, from user research to prototyping and validation. Ran twice-weekly office hours for the graduate course, covering CAD, data analysis, and experimental methods.
- ENGS 31: Digital ElectronicsSupported the course’s lectures in Boolean algebra, logic minimization, algorithmic state machine abstractions, and synchronous system design, and helped lead a weekly lab sequence that carries it into hardware. Helped students through the end-of-term project, where each designs and builds a digital system of their own choosing in an FPGA.
- 2024–Assistant Student ManagerDartmouth College FundData-driven stewardship content across video and written channels, using engagement analytics to shape donor communications for a $172M annual fund, reaching 1,200 donors a month. Advise the College Fund team on content strategy and workflow across a large recurring alumni donor base.
