Experience

Philips Hue is a line of color-changing LED lamps and white bulbs which can be controlled wirelessly. The Philips Hue line of bulbs was the first smart bulb of its kind on the market and has since gained compatibility with other smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings. The lamps are currently created and manufactured by Signify.

This role has seen me push multiple features to our 1M+ daily active user base for our partnerships team, which handles connections with Amazon, Google, and Samsung. I translated an entire type of feature, start to finish, to all of our partner platforms in less than 2 months of joining. I’m currently in this role, so expect more in the future!

We are a key partner to some of the largest and highest growth organizations in the world. From energizing the most competitive gaming platforms, to enabling systems to make cities safer and cars smarter and more connected, to powering the data centers behind many of the world’s biggest companies and public cloud, Western Digital is fueling a brighter, smarter future.

This role helped me grow into using real DevOps technologies that have altered the course of my career forever. I created a hardware reservation system with Django and Jenkins LockableResources to facilitate the sharing of hardware by multiple difference teams across different locations. Complete with Ansible pipelines to configure said resources, Prometheus + Grafana containerized stacks to monitor resource usage, and full compatibility with existing Jenkins regression pipelines, I learned a lot about on-prem resources and how to navigate maintaining fully operational infrastructure and all of its quirks.

ACM is one of the largest student organizations at SCU. We strongly encourage and welcome students of all backgrounds, majors, and skill levels to join us and share our love for technology! At SCU’s ACM, we present informative workshops, bring guest speakers, and host fun weekly meetings, as well as hackathons.

My involvement in ACM includes being Underclass Rep for my first year at SCU. My job was to help out wherever possible, but mostly to be an attentive member and bring a new perspective to our board. Feedback is something we highly value at ACM and having underclassmen to represent our members is a great way to realize this. I then transitioned to Workshop Coordinator for my second year. I planned our weekly Tuesday meetings to teach our members technologies not normally taught in class. I learned a lot through this process as I taught topics such as Python, React, and even hosting a full stack web app! In my third year, I was Vice President, where I supported the rest of the board and became a mentor figure for all of our members. This year, I am honored to be the President of ACM, which allows me to continue to represent the vision and direction of this wonderful club. I will continue to teach workshops, but I will now take center stage in communication with higher ups, our sponsoring companies, and overseeing aspects of ACM!

CMG Financial’s lending philosophy focuses on making sure borrowers get not just a mortgage, but that they get the right solution to fit their broader financial goals. Privately held by Christopher M. George, they maintain the original culture and business model of low overhead, competitive pricing, and extraordinary service.

I did so well at this internship that they rehired me for the school year! I worked remote and split this role with schoolwork, which made me learn a lot about time management. Not only did I continue my web portal app, but I started to do more work for other dev teams like setting up Dockerfiles, creating pipelines with Terraform, and handling the everyday tasks of being on a DevOps team.

I am working as a DevOps Engineering Intern for CMG with some IT Support work on the side. I started with handling intake and outtake of laptops and other devices, creating a streamlined and documented process for when someone else needs to take over the job. I also created an update script using Visual Basic to automate the updating of laptops, ensuring they are logged correctly in our various tracking systems. I began coding with the DevOps team shortly after, where I started by creating a work intake form to handle new feature requests. I followed up on these by creating a full web portal, complete with dynamic features and smooth syling and navigation. This Angular frontend and Flask backend interacted with several different APIs, including Microsoft Azure, O365 mail servers, and login logic using MSAL and OAuth. All of this is deployed using Azure and automated using robust pipelining features. I both learned new skills and enhanced old ones working at CMG and would love to continue this path of learning in an internship in 2025!

Founded at the University of Minnesota in 1904, Theta Tau is the nation’s oldest and foremost Fraternity for Engineers. Over 30,000 have been initiated over the years. With emphasis on quality and a strong fraternal bond, the fraternity has chapters only at ABET accredited schools. Theta Tau carefully follows a program in the selection and development of its members that stresses the importance of high professional ethics and exemplary practices.

My contributions to Theta Tau started with my pledge class in my first year as Fundraising Chair. I was responsible for leading the effort to raise $5500 during our 7 week pledge process, which went to our active chapter. After that, I was initiated as a normal member, helping out where I could. This year, I’ve become the active Professional Development Chair, meaning I’m resonsible for helping my fellow brothers get jobs, tune their resumes, and using our alumni network!

At Khatami Law, our family lawyers in Roseville provide effective representation to individuals, couples, and families throughout the Sacramento region. We are well-versed in the areas of family law, personal injury, and civil litigation. Although there are plenty of firms out there, we believe that our commitment to your goals, courtroom experience, and determined representation set us apart.

My role at Khatami Law started as a File Clerk, ensuring that the physical and online files were in the right places, as well as helping out wherever I was needed. I slowly evolved my role into something more technical and transitioned into an IT Support role. I supported employees 100+ miles away and handled network problems, software and hardware issues, and more. I also started developing PDFScanScript for this role, which sought to minimize the time spent identifying and organizing documents.
