In addition to work experience, I have been involved in software developement clubs during college. Here is a snippet of my experiences from those.
Sandbox @ Northeastern
Sandbox is Northeastern University's student-led software consultancy where we develop software for clients from the university community. I've been with the organization since 2022 and have worked on two development teams—Faculty Activity Tracker and GraduateNU—and have held project lead and developer roles.
Software Developer - GraduateNU
January 2024 - Now
- Adding features to degree-planning tool used by over 500 Northeastern students
Project Lead - Faculty Activity Tracker
January 2023 - December 2023
- Led a rewrite that migrated our codebase from React and NestJS to NextJS because maintaining two standalone applications was too time consuming and slowed down development
- Conducted design and code reviews to implement new features, and add documentation to existing functionality
- Created and delegated agile tickets for developers to prioritize and effectively distribute development tasks
- Had bi-weekly meetings with our professor client to discuss potential features, ask questions on the design and interface and update him on development progress
Software Developer - Faculty Activity Tracker
September 2022 - January 2023
- Wrote efficient API routes to perform add and update user, activity and performance on a Postgres database using Prisma ORM
- Led database design meetings to brainstorm and update the database schema and how to implement new fields when new features were required
- Implemented authentication across the frontend and backend using Auth.js and Google Auth in a Next.js application
TAMID @ Northeastern
TAMID is an American national consulting club that connects early-stage startups to university students. I developed for the organization for one semester in 2021.
- My team and I worked with Presently, a NY-based startup focused on building end-to-end platforms to make picking and giving gifts easier
- I added animations, tooltips and other visual features to giftpicker.io (one of Presently's products) by writing new components in their React codebase, for my first deliverable
- I conceptualized and developed a web app that matched users for a "secret santa" style gift exchange, in a team of 15 developers, for my second deliverable
- For this, I wrote backend serverless functions that used k-NN clustering algorithms which paired users based on a list of common interests
