Work History
DevOps Engineer Intern, Yahoo!
06.2024 - 08.2024
- Designed and published over 10 custom Devcontainer images, resulting in a 85% reduction in onboarding time for new developers by enabling instant setup of reproducible development environments.
- Presented my work to multiple boards of senior leaders —an unprecedented opportunity for an intern—highlighting key innovations that led to strategic discussions at the leadership level.
- Custom-built and optimized 5+ YAML workflows that automated the GHCR image building and publishing process, increasing deployment efficiency and reducing manual errors by automating version tagging.
- Conducted a detailed analysis of 5 different deployment methods, which facilitated the adoption of GitHub Codespaces for new projects.
Supervisor of Operations, Plandome CC

Project Summary
Machine Learning Forum Post Algorithm - Solo
- Implemented machine learning input models to teach my program how to correctly associate certain phrases and words with topics.
- Created an algorithm that improved exponentially with accuracy as more input was used to 'teach' the computers algorithm.
- Correctly categorized thousands of posts using only hundreds of inputs for algorithm derivation.
Instagram via Static Web Application - Solo
- Developed a static clone of Instagram using Python, Flask, and Jinja, replicating core features such as user profiles, image uploads, and social interactions.
- Leveraged templating with Jinja to dynamically generate HTML pages, reducing redundancy and improving maintainability of the codebase.
- Optimized the application for performance by minimizing server load through pre-rendered static content, enhancing scalability for large numbers of users.
Sunset Vibrance Index Generator - Solo
- Utilized data retrieved from a weather API to derive a numeric score 1-100, predicting vibrance and visibility of the sunset on the user-provided date.
- Familiarized myself with API format, key-value pairs, as well as integrating web-bound data into an IDE
- Integrated machine learning feedback mechanisms to optimize my algorithm which factored in 25+ weather components.
