Experience

Aug 2025 - Present | Columbus, OH

As a lead software developer on Ohio States Competitive Drone team, I contribute to the development of autonomous systems for vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft, focusing on geospatial data processing and simulation.

• Led a sub-team of three students to engineer a GPS image stitching pipeline using Python, achieving 90% positional accuracy across large datasets.
• Currently developing a high-fidelity simulation environment in Gazebo with ROS2 integration to validate flight control software before hardware deployment.
• Collaborate across engineering disciplines to integrate software modules for upcoming UAV flight tests and collegiate competitions.

Selected as a Teaching Assistant for Software II, a core course on data structures and algorithms. I mentor students, reinforce fundamental programming concepts, and manage large-scale code review and grading.

• Instructed and mentored a cohort of over 40 students in the advanced implementation of data structures in Java.
• Performed detailed code reviews and graded approximately 200 projects per semester, providing constructive feedback.
• Drove measurable improvement in student outcomes, boosting average project grades by 8% and exam scores by 6% through targeted review sessions.
