Machine Learning Intern · Costa Mesa, CA

• Built production ML forecasting for daily sales across four national restaurant chains — McDonald's, Taco Bell, Jack in the Box, Chipotle — covering thousands of locations.
• Cut forecast error from 12% to 5%, which translates directly into tighter labor scheduling and lower food cost.
• Engineered 30+ predictive features from weather, zip-code demographics, holidays, seasonality, school calendars, and national events, plus macroeconomic indicators.
• Owned the model lifecycle end to end: preprocessing, feature engineering, cross-validated tuning, and back-testing over 2+ years of history.
• Worked through two consecutive summers alongside a full Berkeley course load — CS 61C in 2025, CS 184 and CS 161 in 2026.

Software Engineering Intern · Costa Mesa, CA

• Built Java data-analysis tooling over 12+ weeks of restaurant sales and labor-cost data, surfacing scheduling inefficiencies across 20+ locations.
• Designed a labor-optimization playbook adopted by operations managers that cut overtime and eliminated unprofitable shifts.
• Delivered 15+ analytical reports and stakeholder presentations across 20+ recurring meetings.

Semiconductor Research Intern · Baskin School of Engineering

• Selected for COSMOS, a competitive UC summer research program; researched device physics of LEDs, transistors, solar cells, and memristors.
• Led a 4-person team to design and prototype a 4-watt solar panel.
• Authored and presented a technical project on memristor applications in neuromorphic computing and ML hardware acceleration.

Associate's degree · dual & concurrent enrollment

Earned an associate's degree and 60+ units of advanced math, computer science and physics concurrently with high school, at a 4.0 GPA. That transferred in as junior standing on day one at Berkeley, with everything outside the EECS major requirements already finished, so all that was left was the major itself.

Member, 2025–26 season

Cal Bhangra is UC Berkeley's competitive Punjabi folk dance team. Bhangra is high-energy and physically demanding, and a competitive set is memorized choreography performed in tight formation — which means the actual skill being trained is precision under fatigue, in sync with seventeen other people. Weekly practices, recorded and reviewed.

Hillcrest High School · Riverside, CA

Supported instruction across two AP Calculus sections: graded coursework for 145 students, authored solution sets for 20+ unit tests, and ran the course's Google Classroom of lecture notes and review material.

Volunteer

Installed 1,000+ smoke alarms across 250 homes through the Sound the Alarm program, helped coordinate an ARC Expo for 200 attendees, and supported multiple blood drives.
