Experience

  1. Software Engineering Intern

    E2G (Eat 2 Grow)
    Jan 2026 – Present · Remote · Social Impact Platform
    • Contributed to a platform that has facilitated 185,118 nutrition bar donations to those in need through scalable full-stack feature development.
    • Built a scalable friend-request and referral system with JWT auth — driving a projected 25% increase in new user acquisition within the first sprint.
    • Architected a real-time contribution tracking dashboard with Node.js/NestJS and Firebase/Firestore — 30% higher session engagement.
    • Deployed cloud-native infra on GCP (Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, Pub/Sub, GCS) with event-driven architecture — ~20% lower response latency.
    • Led Agile sprint planning across engineering, UI/UX, and product teams — delivered 3 major feature milestones on schedule, earning a Blackstone Award for Most Impactful Project.
    • Built the Tap 2 Feed Kiosk — a touch-enabled donation kiosk with a React Native UI, real-time Stripe payments, and a physical Android POS terminal for tap-to-donate at live events.
    • Engineered a custom WebSocket server bridging bidirectional real-time communication between the kiosk and Android terminal — instant payment confirmation and synchronized UI state across both devices.
