Experience

500 Acres

February 2026 — July 2026

Promoted from AI & Systems Fellow

Junior Software Engineer Intern

  • Designed, implemented, tested, and deployed separate Next.js and TypeScript runtime and admin apps using direct SQL with PostgreSQL and pgvector, OpenAI APIs, authentication, RBAC, and signed service requests.
  • Automated knowledge updates from Google Sheets so nontechnical staff could maintain sources without developer help, removing a single-maintainer intake bottleneck.
  • Used Codex and Claude Code for repository-level prototyping, debugging, and refactoring, then reviewed diffs and validated changes with tests, linting, builds, CI, logs, and health checks.
  • Presented Scout to leadership and built automations for intake, weekly updates, reporting, and owner handoff.
