Work History

Computer Science Intern

Department Of Defence

06.2026 - 08.2026

Developed a Python-based cargo stowage optimization framework that modeled packing and retrieval as a constrained optimization problem.
Formulated and implemented mathematical constraints for capacity limits, stacking requirements, accessibility, retrieval order, and item compatibility using binary decision variables and constraint-based modeling techniques.
Designed heuristic placement algorithms to generate feasible stowage plans while balancing packing efficiency, retrieval accessibility, and rehandling costs.
Built modular data-ingestion pipelines to import and process Excel-based cargo manifests for optimization and analysis.
Evaluated algorithm performance using metrics including capacity utilization, retrieval cost, runtime, and constraint satisfaction across simulated cargo-loading scenarios.
