Recognized for analytical problem-solving, attention to detail, and building reliable technical solutions in fast-paced environments.

Data Development Intern at Skief Labs (2025-11 – 2026-04)

• Diagnosed and resolved complex technical failures across 15+ portal environments — including session crashes, dynamic page load errors, and CAPTCHA lockouts — restoring system functionality without data loss
• Built a checkpoint and resume system that automatically recovered from crashes at the exact point of failure, with zero data loss across all sessions
• Maintained consistent system performance across multi-hour automated sessions by engineering request pacing, cooldowns, and session recovery mechanisms
• Extracted, cleaned, validated, and processed 60,000+ records across 15+ government and enterprise portals, ensuring high-quality structured datasets for analysis and reporting
• Completed the largest single extraction of the internship — crawling 5,605 USDA database pages in under 5 hours, extracting 27,053 structured records
• Adapted scraping logic to handle JavaScript-triggered page loads, infinite scrolling, multi-step pagination, and session-dependent URLs across 15+ distinct portal architectures
• Ensured zero duplicate records across all datasets by tracking seen records in memory and cross-referencing against existing output files
• Delivered clean, structured CSV and JSONL outputs in a fully remote, async environment — communicating progress clearly throughout
