Students in MITs course on Performance Engineering of Software Systems have benefited greatly from being paired with experienced industry mentors who provide the students with a real-world perspective on their work. Unfortunately, MITx students are currently unable to benefit from such programs largely due to their physical distance from potential mentors. I am working to design and implement a system for remote hands-on student mentoring in the form of a web application. The goal is to recreate the interaction of a mentor sitting beside a student, looking at the same screen, going over the students code, but done remotely through a web application.

During my internship with Facebooks Platform Growth team, I launched a battery of A/B tests attempting to increase application engagement. During my internship with the Google Docs team, I designed and implemented the addition of page numbers and page counts. My mother is from the Dominican Republic and I visit there for several weeks every year.
