campus

I run industry partnerships and sponsorship for the largest CS organization at UIUC and the largest ACM chapter in the country: 1,500+ active members and 4,000+ on Discord. Brought in $40k+ across 30+ company partnerships, including our highest-value sponsor to date, and organized events with companies like Capital One, Google, Atlassian, Verkada, Roblox, Uber, and Deloitte. A lot of our partners receive 500-600 signups; we typically cap attendance to around 100-200 students given venue capacity.

Founded the Claude Builder Club and grew it to 650+ members over two semesters. Ran technical workshops with Anthropic engineers on Claude Code, MCP development, and applied AI, plus hackathons and demo nights. Members build on real campus pain points end to end, from spotting the problem to shipping a working prototype and putting it in front of people who’d actually use it. Over these last two semesters, we’ve not only helped non-technical students get comfortable using AI in their day to day, but built a real community of developers who’ve shipped a lot of cool stuff along the way.

Co-founded the UIUC college loop and led 12+ technical workshops and speaker sessions on mobile development, cybersecurity, and software design, working with engineers from industry to support students who are underrepresented in tech.

My latest project involved directing a team of 11 consultants building a market expansion strategy for a SaaS client. Ran sentiment analysis in Python over 500+ customer interviews to work out how features were actually landing, and used it to sharpen the competitive positioning and decide which customer segments to go after first.

Course assistant for both halves of the introductory CS sequence at Illinois: CS 124 (around 1,000 students, taken in Java) and CS 128 (about 500 students, in C++), the two largest core CS courses at UIUC. Ran weekly office hours helping students debug code, understand concepts, and work through assignments, one-on-one and in small groups.

As a CS STARS scholar, I’m part of a Siebel School program that pairs undergraduates with faculty mentorship / research, while also having us serve as department ambassadors: CS recruiting, mentoring, and outreach across the university.
