Experience

Datacenter Technician
Groq

I have lived in the Pacific Northwest my whole life, and have pretty much have always known I wanted to be a Zag, so here we are. My love for computer science first began back in high school when I took my first one-semester CS class called "Intro to Game Development". My first ever project was actually a tank shooter game that I worked on with some friends. I instantly became captivated by the world of CS, falling in love with the idea of creating applications for others to use. My my ultimate dream is to combine my passion for technology with my love for sports. I aspire to work with a professional sports team, leveraging my skills in computer science to contribute to their success. In fact, this semester, I am currently working on a class project analyzing NBA data to predict the biggest statistical contributors to NBA players getting voted to the All-Star team.

Experience

Datacenter Technician

During my time at Groq, I was responsible for setting up datacenter equipment, specifically, installing racks of hardware. This involved deploying nine GroqNode Servers in each rack using a rotational topology. Additionally, I configured two switches for each rack, implementing IP routing and default gateways.

I also took the initiative to enhance operational efficiency by developing Bash scripts. One script automated the measurement of maximum power consumption for 90 servers spread across our racks, while another allowed for the simultaneous control of 40 PDUs, streamlining power management processes.

GU ACM Vice President

Right now, I'm in the midst of coordinating a big Hackathon that's bringing together students from multiple schools, where we plan on getting over 100 students on board.

In addition, our club does weekly meetings to get more people experience in the world of CS. At these meetups, we dive into coding projects and have a blast learning new tools, like making use of our school's server, playing around with GitHub Pages, and creating some cool portfolio site projects.
