Timeline
2026
March: Helped ship a new blogging architecture and landing page for ZeroEntropy.
June: Started posting on twitter
July: Flew out to San Francisco for a week to attend the Greylock Tech Fair and meet with some founders. Talked to lots of startups, some from the most recent YC batch, and smart people. Received merch including a tote bag, socks, and my favorite: a cap from Cogent. Did not do well on the game they made us play.
October: passed the Terraform associate exam
2025
- Contract Software Engineer at ZeroEntropy (YC W25): built dashboard.zeroentropy.dev with semantic search over user document collections
2024
- Interned at Google for the Network Doctor team. Built a C++ telemetry validation pipeline for GCP network hardware data.
- Organized a weekly intern group lunch
- Visited San Francisco for the first time with roommates
- The place we were staying at was near the start of Steven's Creek, which is roughly 20 miles long. Considering my recent interest in running, and the fact that most of my team at Google had run a marathon before, I decided to train running again and try to get a half-marathon in under 3 hours. By the end of the internship, I accomplished this with a 2:58 time. I also got new PB times for a mile, two miles, 5K and 10K.
2023
- Undergraduate Research Assistant at UCF Institute for Simulation & Training: wrote proof-of-concept ESP32/PIC firmware for TITENN
2022
- Visited NYC with friends.
- Interned at VertexGraph, where I added permission roles to a zero-trust access gateway
