Intern Projects

During my undergraduate work, I interned at Google's Mountain View Campus three times: twice as an Engineering Practicum Intern and once as a Software Engineering Intern. These internships taught me an incredible amount of technical skills, teamwork, communication, and creativity. While there is much I can't say about the projects I worked on, I share what I can in the sections below. 

Google Crowdsource 

Google SWE Intern 2020

Google Crowdsource provides both a mobile app and a website for users to provide training data for Google's many machine learning projects. 

During this internship, I worked on unreleased features using JavaScript, HTML, Sass, and Version control. I was also able to get insight into the UX process and privacy review needs for user-facing apps such as this.

Google Chrome Accessibility

Google EP Intern 2019

A subset of the larger Google Chrome department, the Chrome Accessibility team focuses on assistive technology available to Chrome OS users. Here, I focused on Switch Access which allows users to control a Chromebook with just a few switches, buttons, or other input devices. 

I worked in parallel with my intern partner on features to improve the flexibility of Switch Access. In particular, I worked on copy and paste functions to allow users to manipulate text. This project gave me insight into the importance of accessiblity and consideration of diverse users. During this project, I used JavaScript, HTML, Sass, and version control. 

The majority of this project was open source (as the ChromeOS is available as Chromium) and can be found on the Chromium repository: Switch Access on Chromium 

Google Express 

Google EP Intern 2018

Google Express (now a part of Google Shopping) was platform for online shopping at retailers such as Costco and Walmart.

In  an intern pair, I worked to implement order search functionality to improve an internal Google Express tool. Throughout the project, I learned to use Angular Dart, HTML, and Sass. I also honed my knowledge of Java and version control. This project helped me find an interest in web development and also helped me understand aspects of data visualization.
