Work Experience

Epic Systems Verona, Wisconsin
CaTS Software Development Intern May 2025 - Present

Singlehandedly built an interactive, campus-wide webmap published on the employee homepage with an October 28th launch, expected to be regularly used by more than 15K employees.
Facilitated cross-team collaboration between Facilities, who provided the map data, and Internal Projects, who designed the site.
Utilized ArcGIS SDK for JS with a React front-end and C# backend for SQL logic with universal room search.
Led a migration from Webpack 4 to Vite/Esbuild to fix ArcGIS dependency resolution - its deprecated toolchain was incompatible with ArcGIS’s modern packages - unblocking the map integration, and reducing build times.

Google Summer of Code at OpenMS Remote (based in Germany)
Open Source Software Development Intern Project May 2025 - September 2025

Integrated Apache Arrow into OpenMS by authoring a cross-platform CMake build macro automating source extraction, compilation, and installation on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Enhanced OpenMS CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker, Bioconda) to manage new Arrow dependencies and ensure reproducible builds and tests.
Designed and implemented a lossless, low-latency mzML-to-Parquet converter in C++, extending OpenMS capabilities to support columnar storage and full metadata preservation.
