    Wayfair AI Automation Externship

    Learn one of the most in-demand skills shaping the future of work: building AI agents. In this externship, you’ll step into the role of an AI Agent Developer and use n8n to design agents that think, plan, and act on real data — automating insights, decisions, and workflows. No coding experience required. By the end, you’ll create a live dashboard powered by your own AI agents, gaining hands-on experience that applies to any role or industry — from marketing and consulting to product management and data science.

About me

I’m a Computer Engineering student passionate about AI, aiming to create impactful solutions through technology.

Computer Engineering student with cross-disciplinary experience spanning embedded systems, digital hardware design, and AI/software development. Comfortable moving between low-level firmware and hardware description languages (C, ARM Assembly, SystemVerilog) and modern software/AI stacks (Python, LLM pipelines, full-stack web apps). Seeking a Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Software/AI Engineering role where I can apply both hardware and software problem-solving skills.

Pfizer Advanced: AI-Powered Document Insights & Data Extraction Externship

Prototype AI-powered document intelligence with Pfizer—using OCR, LLMs, and RAG to automate real enterprise PDF workflows and build a standout portfolio project.

AI & MLPythonDocument IntelligencePresentation Skills

Overview

The externship prototyped AI-powered document intelligence workflows for enterprise PDF processing. Work combined OCR, computer vision, retrieval-augmented generation, and language models to extract and structure information from documents. Deliverables included prototypes and analysis supporting data-extraction accuracy and pipeline design.

Morse Code Translator System

An embedded system that decodes Morse code in real time. I built the hardware interface and a software state machine that reads pushbutton input, classifies dot/dash timing using onboard timers, and translates it into readable characters — displayed on both a 7-segment display and a serial terminal.

Morse Code Translator System

What I've accomplished

Integrated a PWM-controlled buzzer, RGB LED, and PIR motion sensor for real-time feedback and automatic sleep/wake power management, turning a simple decoder into a low-power, interactive embedded device.

Outcome

Successfully decoded live Morse input with reliable accuracy and demonstrated end-to-end embedded system design - from hardware wiring to firmware logic

MIPS Single-Cycle CPU Design

Designed a 32-bit single-cycle MIPS processor from scratch in SystemVerilog, building the full datapath — instruction memory, register file, ALU, and control unit — to support core instructions like lw, sw, beq, add, and slt.

MIPS Single-Cycle CPU Design

What I've accomplished

Verified every instruction path in ModelSim through waveform analysis and custom MIPS assembly test programs, debugging control logic and timing issues until the processor executed correctly.

Outcome

Gained a from-the-ground-up understanding of how a CPU actually executes instructions - knowledge that now shapes how I think about performance and architecture in every project I build.

PawPal+ — AI-Enhanced Pet Care Scheduler

A full-stack scheduling app that generates daily pet-care task plans under time-budget and priority constraints. What makes it interesting is the AI layer: a Groq/Llama 3.3 agent that autonomously resolves scheduling conflicts through a plan → act → check loop.

PawPal+ — AI-Enhanced Pet Care Scheduler

What I've accomplished

Designed the AI agent to validate every proposed fix against deterministic business rules before applying it, with bounded retries and safe fallback — so the AI never silently breaks the schedule.

Outcome

Built and validated a 17-test automated suite plus a custom evaluation harness testing edge cases and adversarial AI outputs, achieving a 100% pass rate - and wrote a model card documenting the AI's limitations and reliability findings.
