Intro

Hello!

I'm Seth De Silva, a software engineer passionate about AI, machine learning, and front-end development. My journey began at the University of Washington, where I immersed myself in applied mathematics. This foundation now drives my approach to software engineering, enabling me to tackle complex problems with analytical precision. I'm particularly drawn to the potential of Large Language Models and AI, constantly exploring new applications in this rapidly evolving field. Equally, I enjoy crafting intuitive front-end interfaces that make advanced technology accessible to users.

My experience extends beyond coding. As co-president of the Algorithmic Trading Club at UW, I led initiatives that bridged finance and technology, fostering a community of like-minded innovators. I also played a key role in reviving Sigma Beta Rho, a multicultural service fraternity, demonstrating my commitment to leadership and community building. Through these roles, as well as tutoring and leading development teams, I've honed my ability to communicate complex ideas and collaborate effectively. These experiences have broadened my perspective and enhanced my problem-solving skills. I approach each project with curiosity and dedication, always eager to learn and innovate. Whether it's developing AI applications, optimizing algorithms, or designing user interfaces, I'm committed to delivering impactful solutions. I'm always open to discussing new ideas or potential collaborations. If you're interested in creating technology that makes a difference, let's connect and explore how we can build something great together.

Work Experience

DocuSign

During my internship at DocuSign, I spearheaded the automation of the release notes emailing process, significantly enhancing its speed and efficiency. I developed a script using Google Apps Script to automatically gather email addresses from a Google spreadsheet, streamlining the initial step of the emailing process. Additionally, I introduced new features such as a 'Cancel Sending' option, a 'Delay Between Emails' setting, and a 'Preview Email' function to enhance user control and experience. These improvements collectively boosted the overall efficiency of the release process by 1000%, reducing the time required for each release from 2 hours to just a few minutes.

Mercero

As a Software Engineer Intern at Mercero, I utilized ReactJS to develop and enhance the payment page, focusing on creating a user-friendly design and functionality. I also took on the task of redesigning and programming the home page, updating it with a modern look and improved navigation. Additionally, I implemented a customer chat box feature using JavaScript and ReactJS, facilitating direct communication with our team for quick support and inquiries. These contributions significantly improved the user experience and the overall functionality of the website.
