In summer 2023, I interned at Wise and worked with operation specialists from London and Tallinn to optimise Swift payment messages. My project saw changes to the infrastructure underlying cross-border payments including capsulating transactional metadata in secure, sequenced containers and QoS-aware Payment Pre-validation on the edge.

If you're interested, check out this paper which has many such brillaint ideas.

Joined the Programming, Logic, and Semantics research group at the University of Cambridge as a Research Intern to contribute to ESPRC+Arm-backed project called DIADEM. Experimented in creating embeddable tools for the LLVM compiler kit to improve coverage metrics for debugging metadata.

My work extended my final-year undergraduate project called liballocs-gc supervised by Dr Stephen Kell.

Back to Amazon. This time, I interned with AWS DevOpsGuru and led Project CommonArchs which helped identify and prioritise support for common AWS user operational patterns using unsupervised graph clustering.

I was an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant (TA) for two second-year modules:

• Practical Experiences of C/C++ Programming
• Operating Systems & Concurrency (Head TA)

In summer 2021, I interned with the Video Quality Analysis (VQA) group in PV to create a low-latency, multi-viewing livestream player with real-time notifications of A/V defects such as blocky frames, AV-sync errors, and audio noise detected using computer vision models trained on PV captured content and synthetic media.

In summer 2020, I interned at Snap Engineering to build cross-platform mobile messaging across Android and iOS. More specifically, I worked on writing the cross-language interface between the platform-specific presentation code and the backend C++ libraries.
