The Leader

The internship

A project-manager internship earned while still an undergraduate — running the cadence for working developers, keeping the team calm, unblocked, and shipping on schedule.

Software Engineering, led

Led the Software Engineering course build from requirements to delivery: scoping, task breakdown, reviews, and the final ship.

Special Problems, led

Led the Special Problems research build — the open-ended kind with no spec, where inventing the plan is part of the work.

You came asking. Now you know.
