Visa
June 2023 - Present
I interned at Visa for 2 summers as a software engineering intern during college. I then transitioned to working here full-time post college! I spent 2.5 years working on the Data & AI Platform, notably I was part of the first 12-member VisaGPT pilot team. I now work in the Payment Products organization within the Visa Stablecoin Platform team in Crypto.

Got my B.S. in Computer Science and Minor in Informatics/Data Science from UIUC! Activities and societies I was actively involved in were: 1) Founders: Illinois Entrepreneurs (Research & Development Team), Kappa Theta Tau Professional Engineering Fraternity, Women in Computer Science (WCS), Pulse ECE/CS Conference Committee, and PURE Undergraduate Research in Engineering. I was also a Course Assistant for the class CS173 Discrete Structures, where I assisted in weekly tutorial sessions to guide 20+ students through discussion questions and topics like developing well-constructed proofs and understanding key theory topics such as recursion and Big-O. I was also a Course Assistant for the class CS411 Database Systems, where I led 25+ students weekly through discussion sections on key coursework like relational models, SQL, noSQL, indexing and distributed DB systems.
