Experience

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant

The Ohio State University

2024 - Present

  • Assisted students in CSE courses with programming and algorithms
  • Held office hours and led review sessions
  • Graded assignments and provided feedback

Process Automation Engigitneering Intern

Kroger

2025

  • Designed and implemented an end-to-end data pipeline to optimize logistics for delivery networks, focusing on store order forecasting, delivery efficiency, and routing.
  • Integrated advanced ML and optimization algorithms: PyTorch LSTM for demand forecasting, neural network for CAD purity prediction, simulation for order splitting, genetic algorithm for vehicle routing, and simulated annealing for delivery schedule optimization.
  • Demonstrated that modifying store delivery schedules can significantly improve CAD purity scores and reduce transportation mileage/costs.
  • Built interactive data visualization and workflow tools for operations teams, including public dashboards at kroger.jalencode.com and knapp.jalencode.com.
  • Improved general workflow automation and data-driven decision making across the team.
