Work
TradExim (e-TradeFTZ) was my first full-stack internship, working on a production platform for international trade, finance, and user onboarding.
A project included rebuilding the public website and reconnecting it to the existing backend, redesigning 15+ pages while working through Firebase Authentication, Firestore records, admin approval visibility, and fixing registration so users actually landed in the proper registry paths instead of ending up with duplicate accounts.
I also handled a good chunk of deployment: Rebel hosting, DNS, Google Search Console verification, contact form routing, and email/API key setup.
What stuck with me from TradExim is that a small frontend change can affect auth, the database, admin workflows, and deployment all at once. I got better at moving fast without breaking what was already running.
WATonomous was my first real exposure to robotics and autonomy engineering. I went through the Autonomy Software Division training, learning ROS2, C++, Docker-based development, and the simulation tools used in autonomous vehicle systems.
My main focus was costmaps: how lidar and occupancy grid data get turned into a map that planning algorithms use to avoid obstacles. I worked through how costmap updates, obstacle inflation, and trajectory safety all connect inside the autonomy stack.
The biggest thing I took away was a much clearer picture of how perception, mapping, and planning fit together in a real autonomy system, even before making bigger contributions of my own.
