Software Engineer (Co-op)
Jan 2025 – Aug 2025
- Audit-Trail UI — React + TypeScript front-end + Python/Falcon API on DynamoDB; record look-ups now take seconds for 35 + scientists.
- Maintained a serverless event pipeline (AWS Lambda + Kinesis) that guarantees loss-less, traceable LIMS events.
- Authored hands-free CI/CD: BuildSpec workflows build, test & publish pinned Docker images in < 5 min (vs. 30 min manual).
- Standardised 80 + Pydantic/SQLAlchemy models on a common ORM base, trimming boilerplate 5 % and easing audits.
- Scientific Computing Refactor: Refactored scientific computing modules for picomolar-level precision, eliminating rounding errors across 20k+ assay calculations.
- Rearray Studio Component: Built a reusable React component for scientists to duplicate, select, dilute, and edit plate aliquots for complex layouts — cutting plating time by at least 5×.
- Shipped features and bug fixes weekly consistantly across front-end and back-end systems in close collaboration with scientists and engineers.
