- Removed unused product API fields to reduce payload size by 30%, then parallelized independent requests to improve initial loading.
- Used browser developer tools to identify request bottlenecks and compared response sizes and load times under the same conditions.
- Built a query-type evaluation set for a RAG experiment and compared retrieval results across chunk lengths and reranking conditions.
- Categorized failed queries and recorded experimental conditions and metrics to define hypotheses for the next experiment.
- Compared turbidity removal across pH levels and coagulant doses in a water-treatment lab, repeating measurements under the same conditions.
- Recorded sample preparation and measurement variation, then organized results into charts for a co-authored conference poster.
- Collected river samples at different sites and compared dissolved oxygen, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus measurements.
- Recorded sampling times and rainfall conditions, then mapped site differences and identified areas for further investigation.
- As a construction intern, compared schedules with daily site records and documented how material deliveries affected subsequent work.
- Checked drawings against site photos, listed items needing review, and shared findings to support schedule coordination.
- Compared reaction temperatures and durations, recording product yields and analysis results for each condition in a lab notebook.
- Checked reagent addition order and stirring conditions to explain variation and identify variables to control in the next experiment.
- Measured film thickness and uniformity at different etch times in a process lab and compared variation across wafer positions.
- Recorded instruments, repetitions, and process conditions, then reported high-variation areas and questions for follow-up measurements.
- Interviewed 8 users in a service planning project and grouped signup friction by step to identify possible improvements.
- Worked with design and engineering to prioritize user impact against implementation effort and define metrics and an action plan.
- As an HR intern, organized candidate statuses and scheduling messages and identified stages that generated repeated questions.
- Refined messages and checklists with the team, then compared inquiry types and missed appointments to document operational improvements.
