CMG Financial
Remote
Position: Junior DevOps Engineer
Sept 2024 - Present
CMG Financial’s lending philosophy focuses on making sure borrowers get not just a mortgage, but that they get the right solution to fit their broader financial goals. Privately held by Christopher M. George, they maintain the original culture and business model of low overhead, competitive pricing, and extraordinary service.
I did so well at this internship that they rehired me for the school year! I currently work remote and split this role with schoolwork and I haven’t looked back. Not only am I continuing my web portal app, but I’ve started to do more work for other dev teams like setting up Dockerfiles, creating pipelines, and handling the everyday tasks of being on a DevOps team. I’m currently working in this role, so more information to come!
SCUACM
Santa Clara, CA
Position: Underclass Rep --> Workshop Coordinator --> Vice President
Sep 2022 - Present
ACM is one of the largest student organizations at SCU. We strongly encourage and welcome students of all backgrounds, majors, and skill levels to join us and share our love for technology! At SCU’s ACM, we present informative workshops, bring guest speakers, and host fun weekly meetings, as well as hackathons.
My involvement in ACM includes being Underclass Rep for my first year at SCU. My job was to help out wherever possible, but mostly to be an attentive member and bring a new perspective to our board. Feedback is something we highly value at ACM and having underclassmen to represent our members is a great way to realize this. I then transitioned to Workshop Coordinator for my second year. I planned our weekly Tuesday meetings to teach our members technologies not normally taught in class. I learned a lot through this process as I taught topics such as Python, React, and even hosting a full stack web app! This year, I am honored to be the Vice President of ACM, which allows me to represent the vision and direction of this wonderful club. I will continue to teach workshops, but I will now take a more central role in communication with higher ups, our sponsoring companies, and seeing over all aspects of ACM. I hope to become President next year for my last year at SCU!
CMG Financial
Roseville, CA
Position: DevOps Engineering Intern
June 2024 - Sept 2024
CMG Financial’s lending philosophy focuses on making sure borrowers get not just a mortgage, but that they get the right solution to fit their broader financial goals. Privately held by Christopher M. George, they maintain the original culture and business model of low overhead, competitive pricing, and extraordinary service.
I am working as a DevOps Engineering Intern for CMG with some IT Support work on the side. I started with handling intake and outtake of laptops and other devices, creating a streamlined and documented process for when someone else needs to take over the job. I also created an update script using Visual Basic to automate the updating of laptops, ensuring they are logged correctly in our various tracking systems. I began coding with the DevOps team shortly after, where I started by creating a work intake form to handle new feature requests. I followed up on these by creating a full web portal, complete with dynamic features and smooth syling and navigation. This Angular frontend and Flask backend interacted with several different APIs, including Microsoft Azure, O365 mail servers, and login logic using MSAL and OAuth. All of this is deployed using Azure and automated using robust pipelining features. I both learned new skills and enhanced old ones working at CMG and would love to continue this path of learning in an internship in 2025!
Theta Tau
Santa Clara, CA
Position: Pledge Class Fundraising Chair --> Member
Jan 2023 - Present
Founded at the University of Minnesota in 1904, Theta Tau is the nation’s oldest and foremost Fraternity for Engineers. Over 30,000 have been initiated over the years. With emphasis on quality and a strong fraternal bond, the fraternity has chapters only at ABET accredited schools. Theta Tau carefully follows a program in the selection and development of its members that stresses the importance of high professional ethics and exemplary practices.
My contributions to Theta Tau started with my pledge class in my first year as Fundraising Chair. I was responsible for leading the effort to raise $5500 during our 7 week pledge process, which went to our active chapter. After that, I was initiated as a normal member, but I am seeking leadership roles in the near future!
Khatami Law APC
Roseville, CA
Position: File Clerk --> IT Support
Feb 2021 - Jun 2022 / Jun 2023 - Sep 2023
At Khatami Law, our family lawyers in Roseville provide effective representation to individuals, couples, and families throughout the Sacramento region. We are well-versed in the areas of family law, personal injury, and civil litigation. Although there are plenty of firms out there, we believe that our commitment to your goals, courtroom experience, and determined representation set us apart.
My role at Khatami Law started as a File Clerk, ensuring that the physical and online files were in the right places, as well as helping out wherever I was needed. I slowly evolved my role into something more technical and transitioned into an IT Support role. I supported employees 100+ miles away and handled network problems, software and hardware issues, and more. I also started developing PDFScanScript for this role, which sought to minimize the time spent identifying and organizing documents.
