## Experience

- Research Developer at Collective Design Lab, Arizona State University (August 2025 - Present): Built a TAT-C MCP server that fetches satellite TLE data from CelesTrak and generates structured telemetry with satellite ground tracks. Integrated MCP tools into the Novel Observing Strategies Testbed to improve data visualization and LLM-accessible workflows for the research community.
- Software Engineer Intern at Opportunity Hack (June 2025 - August 2025): Built a Google Drive MCP server and React chat interface enabling natural language search across hundreds of files for Heritage PHX staff, significantly reducing manual search time.
- Undergraduate Researcher at Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering (August 2024 - May 2025): Built a distributed satellite simulation system integrating real-time and synthetic data. Developed a 3D visualization layer and a message-driven architecture using RabbitMQ to enable real-time tracking across system components.
- Facilities Coordinator at Sun Devil Fitness Complex, Arizona State University (July 2022 - May 2025): Oversaw daily operations at the complex, managing staff scheduling, timekeeping, and project execution. Led a diverse team of 100+ student employees serving over 9,000 patrons each day.

## Projects

- [Lyrical Context](https://lyrical-context.vercel.app/): Web app for exploring Genius lyric references in a readable format.
