Software Engineering Intern

Google Cloud

• Helped develop Google Cloud DapperMC, a probabilistic pro-gramming library tailored to modeling Remote Procedure Calls (RPC). Google engineers now use DapperMC to obtain a statistical understanding of datacenter performance, detect anomalous machines, and benchmark the effects of software updates on RPC latency.

Software Engineering Intern

Northrop Grumman

• Work performed under a security clearance. Worked on a network that provides joint forces with a capability to report, analyze, and disseminate warning information to accelerate the serviceperson’s response to Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) attack. Reduced the time from incident observation to warning to less than two minutes
