TEAM PROJECT / GOOGLE TECH EXCHANGE

Work Out!

A fitness web app connecting activity, community, and data.

During Google Tech Exchange, I co-developed a fitness web application with user-generated posts and activity statistics, backed by BigQuery and deployed on Google Cloud.

Google CloudBigQuerypydeck

My contributions

  • Noticed coordinates in our dataset and used them to build interactive route maps with pydeck.
  • Led a responsive front-end redesign.
  • Used mock injection tests across dynamic user sessions.

Co-developed as part of the January–April 2025 program.

Finding a better way to show the data

I didn’t want to stop at a standard workout feed. Looking closely at the dataset revealed coordinates we could turn into a map—making the activity data more visual and engaging to explore.

02 / EXPERIENCE

Built with real teams.
Made for real problems.

MICROSOFT · MAY — JULY 2026

Turning fragmented telemetry
into useful decisions.

Software Engineer Intern · Finance Data & Experiences

I developed a secure ASP.NET Core ingestion API to bring usage data from internal automation tools into a centralized service, then designed a three-page Power BI dashboard to surface adoption, reliability, and estimated cost savings.

I also wrote an integration guide and Azure CI/CD deployment automation to help engineering teams onboard their tools.

The challenge: learning Azure deployment +

Hosting the application on Azure was one of my biggest challenges because I had little prior experience with the platform.

I regularly reached out to engineers on my team when I got stuck. Sometimes they could point me toward a solution; other times, we had to investigate the problem together. With their support, I worked through the deployment challenges and completed the project.

The experience taught me to ask for help early and keep working through unfamiliar problems with the people around me.

Google Tech Exchange

Program participant · Jan — Apr 2025

Co-developed Work Out!, a fitness web app on Google Cloud with BigQuery. Built GPS route mapping with pydeck, led a responsive front-end redesign, and used mock injection tests across dynamic sessions.

CodePath in Residence

Tech Fellow · Fall 2025 & Fall 2026

Support over 50 students in Python fundamentals through weekly labs, debugging help, and collaboration with faculty on student progress.

Fisk University

Cyber Security Intern · Jun — Aug 2024

Developed intrusion detection models using NSL-KDD, improving rare-class recall by 24% and reaching 93.8% macro-F1. Used SHAP to make intrusion indicators easier to interpret.

03 / HOW I APPROACH BUILDING

Look closely.
Build thoughtfully.

The details of an experience matter.
So do the systems behind it.

I enjoy looking closely at a problem and finding opportunities to make something more useful. I care about how an application works, how clearly it communicates, and how it feels to the person using it.

On Work Out!, that meant turning coordinates into an interactive map. At Microsoft, it meant learning how my API connected with Azure, asking questions, and working through unfamiliar challenges with other engineers.

Healthcare is one area I’m especially interested in exploring, particularly tools that help people understand and access information more easily. Across different fields, I want to build software that makes useful things easier for people to do.

04 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Curious about systems.
Focused on people.

I’m completing my B.S. in Computer Science at Fisk University, with graduation expected in December 2026. I received the Ella Sheperd Moore Provost Scholarship, covering full tuition.

Alongside building software, I help students learn to code. I’ve also served as a resident assistant and create photography, video, and event graphics for my campus fellowship.

05 / BEYOND THE CODE

A different lens.

Photography, observation,
and the details worth noticing.

Making room for creativity.

Outside of software, I enjoy photography and visual storytelling. It’s another way for me to explore ideas, pay attention to my surroundings, and create something other people can experience.
