Experience

Turned a personal frustration with journaling into an AI-powered iOS app, building everything from its memory system to user acquisition and monetization. Launched with 140+ downloads and the first paying subscribers.

Gleam Labs
Software and Growth Engineering InternJan 2026 – Apr 2026
Gleam Labs

The only hire alongside two founders, so I got to do a bit of everything: product, analytics, engineering, and growth. Built our analytics from scratch, ran experiments, and shipped features that improved D1 retention by 60% and D7 by 30%.

SAP
Product Manager InternMay 2025 – Aug 2025
SAP

Noticed that people weren't getting the most out of our HANA Cloud GenAI Assistant, so I dug into the data, talked to customers, and helped turn those findings into product changes. Feature traffic grew 22× and monthly active users tripled.

Brookfield Asset Management
Data Analytics InternSept 2024 – Dec 2024
Brookfield Asset Management

Got curious about how teams were actually using Salesforce, found where the workflows were slowing people down, and helped simplify them. Cut lead creation time by 12%.

Christie Digital

Christie Digital

Found a manual process the engineering team had been using for years and built a cloud workflow to replace it. The new process ran 120× faster and saved 130+ hours every month.
