About

I'm studying Econometrics and Quantitative Economics at San José State, with a minor in Business. This summer at EY, I worked in technology risk and tested the IT controls that keep financial systems trustworthy. That's where I want to build my career.

Stacks Reports

An internal reporting system for SJSU's MLK Library stacks team

// The problem

Student assistants reported shelving problems, damaged books and equipment issues informally, so problems got lost, nobody could see what was open, and there was no record of who changed what.

// What I built

A full-stack web app (Flask, SQLAlchemy, SQLite) where assistants file a report by floor, location, category and priority, and the team works it from Open to Resolved.

// Result

Resolution time down by roughly 25% compared with informal reporting.

  • Flask
  • SQLAlchemy
  • SQLite
  • Gunicorn
  • systemd

// Controls I designed in

  1. 01

    Sign in

    PIN authentication

    Each assistant signs in with a PIN; brute-force lockout is specified for the production release.

  2. 02

    Role check

    Role-based access

    Assistants file and work reports; only admins manage accounts.

  3. 03

    Report

    Structured input

    Floor, category and priority are captured on every report; QR codes at the shelves are specified next.

  4. 04

    Every change

    Audit log

    Each status change is recorded with who made it and when.

// Why it mattersIt's the same set of controls I test as an auditor (access, authentication, change logging), built from the other side.

Does H-1B hiring move U.S. wages?

Tech's H-1B share rose from about 4% to 5.4% over the decade while health care stayed under 0.2%. A two-way fixed-effects panel found no statistically significant effect of that share on wages or unemployment, and the paper is explicit that 30 industry-year observations limit what can be concluded.

// 07 IT Controls

What I learned testing controls.

IT general controls, in plain English: the checks that keep the systems behind the numbers trustworthy, and what I learned testing them as an intern.

// How a control gets tested

  1. 01UnderstandWhat could go wrong, and which control stops it.
  2. 02Walk throughFollow one example end to end with the control owner.
  3. 03SamplePick the items to test across the period.
  4. 04TestCheck design and operating effectiveness against evidence.
  5. 05DocumentWorkpapers clear enough for a reviewer to re-perform.

Workpaper · AC-03 Quarterly user access review

Illustrative example · not client data

Each quarter the system owner reviews who can access the finance system and removes anyone who no longer needs it.

Risk · People keep access they no longer need.
