Experience

Lead Open Source Software Engineer

Aug 2025 – Present

YACS · RCOS · RPI

I lead the rebuild of YACS, the open-source course scheduling platform RPI students use to plan their semesters. I guide the move from the original Vue app to a FastAPI backend and React/TypeScript frontend, and work across the API, the pipeline that imports course data, and the setup that gets new contributors up and running.

Software Engineering Intern

Jun 2026 – Aug 2026

Varyn Technologies · Remote

I built the automation behind Varyn's sales process — a set of event-driven workflows that handle booking demos, checking attendance, and onboarding new customers. I also modeled what the LLM-powered parts would cost as usage grew, and put limits in place to keep that spend under control.

Open Source Software Engineering Intern

Jan 2024 – Apr 2024

Submitty · RCOS · RPI

I contributed to Submitty, RPI's open-source autograding platform. I led the removal of an outdated theme system to simplify the UI code, and reviewed contributors' pull requests — introducing a standard review checklist along the way.

Lead Programming Instructor

Aug 2023 – Present

SHPE · Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers

I teach programming to members of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and lead student project teams, including guiding a three-person team from planning to a working app used by 20+ students.

Projects

GneissCash

GitHub ↗

A personal finance tool that turns bank statements into a clear picture of where money goes. It imports and organizes transactions, then shows cash flow and spending patterns over time. I built the whole stack: the Node/Express API, the PostgreSQL database, and the React dashboard.

PQS Tracker

GitHub ↗

An API for tracking qualification sign-offs — who has completed which requirements and who approved them. It enforces the sign-off rules and keeps a complete audit history, so a person's status is always accurate and traceable.
