Software Engineering Intern on Shopify’s Messaging team, focused on building scalable and performant systems that power communication experiences across the commerce platform

I co-founded QCare to improve the patient experience in healthcare clinics through a smart, SMS-based queue management system. As both CTO and lead developer, I worked closely with my co-founder and team to bring the product from idea to deployment.

Key Responsibilities & Achievements:

• Team Leadership: Collaborated with my co-founder and a small cross-functional team to define product vision, prioritize features, and validate real-world clinic needs.

• Led Full-Stack Development: Designed and built the platform using React.js, Node.js, Express, and MongoDB. Implemented patient registration, real-time dashboards, and SMS-based notification flows using Twilio.

• Prioritized Privacy & Security: Designed the system to avoid storing sensitive medical information and implemented secure phone verification and HTTPS communication.

• Deployed & Maintained: Deployed the full stack application to production using DigitalOcean with high availability and secure configuration.

• Customer-Centric Development: Collaborated with potential users and clinics to ensure product-market fit and align features with real-world clinic needs.

• Enhanced Patient Experience: Enabled remote queue registration, live wait time updates, and automatic SMS notifications to reduce in-clinic congestion and stress.

• Lead a multidisciplinary team of 8 students across electrical, mechanical, and software engineering disciplines to develop an interactive "Astronaut Glove" exhibit for the London Children's Museum

• Coordinated project planning, timelines, allocation of resources, and cross-team communication to ensure smooth collaboration between hardware prototyping, enclosure design, and game development

• Managed the delivery of a fully functional, museum-ready exhibit within a 7-month timeline, expected to engage thousands of visitors in hands-on STEM learning

• Directed game development and software integration using Unity and C#, enabling real-time interaction between physical sensors (flex, gyroscope, accelerometer) and in-game astronaut actions

• Revamped the "Join" and "Donate" pages for the Jet Aircraft Museum, improving user engagement.

• Designed modular React and TypeScript components for features like membership benefits and enrollment forms.

• Created an interactive testimonials carousel using React hooks, delivering smooth transitions and dynamic content updates.

• Collaborated with a team of developers to integrate all pages into a unified and scalable website, following best practices for code quality and performanc

• Integrated SegFormer transformer architecture into the existing PyTorch segmentation pipeline to process H&E and IHC histopathology slides, improving medical imaging segmentation accuracy

• Eliminated model compatibility issues by designing flexible wrapper classes with customizable activation functions and tensor shape logic, ensuring seamless integration with existing training scripts and loss functions

• Prevented 90% of production failures by developing 50+ comprehensive unit tests across batch processing, model inference, and dataset configuration components, catching tensor and dataset bugs early in CI pipelines

• Standardized cross-repository ML workflows by refactoring inference pipelines across training and production codebases, cutting model deployment time by 60%
