Software Engineer Intern

September 2024 - present

Right now I'm developing software at SPS Commerce as a contractor through Maverick Software Consulting. I've gotten the opportunity to help maintain existing and write new data transformation services to be utilized on a custom in-house platform, and eventually integrated into our customers' ERP systems. Responsibilities include developing new EDI maps and re-factoring or fixing defects for existing ones, using Java and occasionally scripts written in Python.

Software Lead

September 2024 - present

I'm currently developing software for the UMN rocket team, where we're building the WINGS ground station, among other software projects. After joining the team my junior year, I was chosen to lead the group of developers that comprise the software sub-team of the club my senior year. Under my leadership thus far, we have open sourced WINGS in order to open the door for collaboration among the broader rocketry community, and I am the primary maintainer of the open-source repository. Throughout the upcoming year, I plan to upstart the development of new projects, and will get the opportunity to design these new systems from scratch.
