IM'm a student at University of California, Irvine and aspiring software engineer who loves building things that actually solve real problems and make people's daily lives a little easier.
For this internship, I got the amazing opportunity to work on B2B wholesale platform for AdamsFoods, that helps restaurant and business clients streamline their ordering process with us. Before this system, their clients had to place orders through manual phone calls and lengthy email chains, which often led to miscommunications, inventory mix-ups, and time-consuming order confirmations.
The work involves building intuitive React interfaces that make browsing products and placing orders effortless, while also optimizing backend services and integrating with existing inventory management systems from previous projects to create a seamless end-to-end solution. It also includes an admin dashboard that gives the team a clear view of incoming orders, current inventory levels, and client activity all in one place, which has made managing the business side much smoother.
At Commit the Change, I worked on a project for La Peña Cultural Center, a nonprofit organization that builds community through cultural events and art workshops in the Bay Area. A hardship they were facing was with scheduling and managing room bookings, which was all done through paper forms and word of mouth. I worked with a team of 15 to build a full-stack web application that digitized their entire administrative workflow, from room bookings and class registration to invoice processing and client communication. Our React frontend and Node.js/Express backend reduced manual processing time by 60% while managing over 50 monthly bookings. The optimized invoice calculation logic alone saved them roughly 10 hours of manual work each month, letting them focus more on serving their community.
For this internship position, I worked with a team of 2 to develop a comprehensive inventory management system for AdamsFoods' warehouse operations. Prior to this system, the warehouse relied on handwritten logs and manual tracking methods, which often led to inventory discrepancies, lost items, and delays in order fulfillment. The new system digitized inventory tracking with real-time updates and accurate stock levels, featuring streamlined data entry through barcode scanning integration that significantly reduced manual input errors and sped up the receiving and stocking process.
Although this wasn't a tech role, it gave me valuable insight into how businesses operate and the real-world problems that technology can solve. Working directly in AdamsFoods' warehouse operations, I got to see firsthand how inefficient manual processes can slow down an entire supply chain. This experience taught me to think beyond just writing code - understanding the business context and user pain points became just as important as the technical implementation. It also sparked my interest in building systems that could automate these tedious manual workflows, which directly influenced my approach in later software development projects.
