        <h1>Experience</h1>
        <p class="xp-intro">Three internships, three different experiences. Big Tech infra, a tiny team where you’re half the roadmap, and fintech company. Mostly I built things; sometimes I argued for what to build next.</p>

        <section class="xp-item" aria-labelledby="xp-amazon">
          <h2 class="xp-company-name" id="xp-amazon">Amazon</h2>
          <p class="xp-role">Software Development Engineer Intern</p>
          <p class="xp-when">Internship · Jun 2025 – Aug 2025 · 3 mos · Austin, Texas metro · On-site</p>
          <ul class="xp-bullets">
            <li>On <strong>storesec</strong>, shipped end-to-end audit logging for an <strong>agentic workflow</strong> service so automated runs and human touches both leave a trace you can reason about later.</li>
            <li>Stood up the surrounding infra with <strong>AWS CDK v2</strong> (TypeScript) so the same stack could be reproduced across accounts instead of living in a brittle shell script nobody wanted to touch.</li>
          </ul>
          <p class="xp-skills">Stack and rhythm: Agile delivery, Dagger, CDK, Type/Java services, and the usual maze of AWS consoles.</p>

          <h2 class="xp-company-name" id="xp-makase">Makase</h2>
          <p class="xp-role">Engineer / Product Intern</p>
          <p class="xp-when">Internship · Apr 2024 – Sep 2024 · 6 mos · San Diego, CA · Remote</p>
          <ul class="xp-bullets">
            <li>Wore both <strong>product and engineering</strong> hats: framing problems, prioritizing bets, prototyping in Figma, and jumping into code when that was the shortest path to learning.</li>
            <li>Designed and shipped a <strong>web-scraping browser extension</strong> that held up against messy real sites, while other growth bets stayed short experiments that never became durable product.</li>
          </ul>
          <p class="xp-skills">SQL when pipelines existed, scraping and glue code when they didn’t, plus constant iteration with a tiny remote team.</p>
        </section>

          <h2 class="xp-company-name" id="xp-bk">Black Knight</h2>
          <p class="xp-role">Technology Product Management Intern</p>
          <p class="xp-when">Internship · Jun 2023 – Aug 2023 · 3 mos · Jacksonville, FL · Hybrid</p>
          <ul class="xp-bullets">
            <li>Drafted and iterated <strong>API specifications and technical documentation</strong> for backend platforms so engineers had a single source of truth before build and during review.</li>
            <li>Worked with engineering and business stakeholders to tighten contracts, error models, and naming in a regulated mortgage stack where ambiguity shows up weeks later as integration bugs or rework.</li>
          </ul>
          <p class="xp-skills">Cross-functional reviews, structured spec templates, and enough mortgage-tech context to ask the right clarifying questions early.</p>
