I co-founded a freelancing group that provides website development and solutions for businesses and individuals. I led creative design for clients, providing logo-creation & suitable palettes invoking different professional or creative auras for clients. I also worked on mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization/visibility. We used an iterative feedback process to ensure customer satisfaction.

I performed solid-state computational analysis via simulations using DFT and hybrid-functional-driven tools (VESTA/VASP) to discover and prove suitability of potential qubit vehicles towards the goal of longer or more stable qubit operation. Wrote Gnuplot CLI / Python scripts to coalesce and visualize data; INCAR calibrated to 1E-5 energy convergence fidelity for higher accuracy

I was the teaching assistant and lab 'instructor' (I led the lab sessions every week and coalesced material for the sessions) for the advanced classical mechanics courses at Gavilan College. I directed liaison between the professor and students -- making announcements on Canvas and responding to emails -- and tailored open-source exam study material by gathering from UPenn, MIT, UTexas, etc.

I worked as an intern at SJSU under a professor developing a social media platform for use at the university; we created a Mastodon instance from scratch. I did a lot of work for our team on both API endpoint design & development, securing and designing user data in MongoDB, as well work on user-facing pages like dynamic translation with Thymeleaf and the OAuth login process/page.
