Work Experience

Software Developer Intern — Government of Canada

• Developed SLURM-based HPC pipelines for miRNA discovery in Pisum sativum using miRDP2, ShortStack, and miRador across 48 small RNA-seq samples.
• Optimized large-scale genomic workflows by resolving GPFS storage I/O and memory allocation bottlenecks for improved pipeline performance and reproducibility.
• Created Bash scripts for FASTQ preprocessing, sample demultiplexing, and automated runtime monitoring across multi-day HPC jobs.
• Refactored Nextflow DSL2 bioinformatics workflows from global to per-entity state management using branch operators to support heterogeneous genome assembly pipelines.
• Debugged and updated pipelines for compatibility with Nextflow 26 config parser v2, resolving cross-scope variable and configuration issues.

Computing Science and Mathematics Expert

• Built Python scripts to automate rubric generation and streamline large-scale evaluation workflows, improving speed and consistency.
• Created lightweight JavaScript prototypes to simulate LLM frontend behavior, enabling rapid testing of rubric coverage and error detection.
• Evaluated AI-generated STEM solutions for factual accuracy, logical consistency, and clarity, providing structured feedback to improve model performance.

AI Prompt Engineer and Front-End Evaluator

• Engineered natural-language prompts to elicit functional front-end code responses from LLMs, focusing on HTML/CSS/JS.
• Led multi-turn conversations with models to iterate on UI/UX improvements, bug fixes, and new feature implementations.
• Authored rubrics to evaluate LLM output against clearly defined frontend requirements, emphasizing clarity, technical precision, and visual fidelity.

Software Team Member

• Enhanced rocket tracking accuracy by 12% through the integration of efficient tracking algorithms, including Kalman filtering, and optimized code performance.
