iOS Accessibility Developer
I added VoiceOver support to Quorum’s iOS UI components using Apple’s UIAccessibility API, updating accessibility traits, labels, and activation methods across multiple controls. I verified correct accessibility behavior through testing on real iOS devices, wrote a VPAT evaluating our implementation against WCAG accessibility guidelines, and contributed updates to Quorum’s official documentation to reflect the new accessibility features.

Undergraduate Researcher
Working with Dr. Paul La Plante, I use the Bridges-2 supercomputer to run Zerion simulations of the Epoch of Reionization and extract their kSZ angular power spectra. My research focuses on developing a machine learning emulator that predicts the kSZ power spectrum from reionization model parameters. Using Latin Hypercube Sampling, I generate training data, process simulation outputs, compute power spectra with Fourier methods, and train a neural network to rapidly model Cl without running new simulations.
