SWE Intern @ NASA JSC \| CS @ University of Houston \| LLM agents, RAG, Agentic AI, AWS \| **Profession:** Software Engineer Intern **Location:** Houston, Texas, United States ## About Henry Pham is a Computer Science student at the University of Houston, graduating in May 2028, and an Undergraduate Research Assistant studying computational\-geometry approaches to sensor and reflector placement in irregular cave geometries\. Henry’s work is backend\-heavy and centers on AI\-enabled automation, retrieval\-augmented generation, constraint solving, payments infrastructure, and translating technical systems into practical value for non\-technical stakeholders\. As a Software Engineer Intern at NASA Johnson Space Center, Henry independently built a proof\-of\-concept mission auto\-scheduler for the Artemis Mission Data Modeling team\. The system uses a pgvector RAG pipeline and local Ollama LLM with structured output and tool calling to extract planning activities and constraints, then uses OR\-Tools CP\-SAT to generate mission schedules\. Henry exposed it through a REST API and dashboard supporting natural\-language schedule edits, and also built an Ask Sage\-based AI summarization tool that routed structured summaries to the NASA Administrator\. Earlier at Pcuro, Henry developed Stripe Connect Express KYB onboarding, a PostgreSQL ledger\-based refund and dispute system, and a cross\-border U\.S\./U\.K\. payments flow using Stripe FX Quotes\. ## Services - Stripe Connect - webhook - Node\.js - Express\.js - Payment Systems - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - Agentic AI Development - Claude Code - Software Development - Microsoft Power BI - Programming - AI for Data Engineers - TypeScript - Next\.js - Notion - Software as a Service \(SaaS\) - Back\-End Web Development - Higher Education Research - Scholarly Research - General Programming - REST APIs - Discord API - Graphics - Cascading Style Sheets \(CSS\) - JavaScript - Object\-Oriented Programming \(OOP\) - Mobile User Interface Design - Personal Websites - Pretreatment - Service Delivery ## Highlights - Built a NASA Johnson Space Center proof\-of\-concept mission auto\-scheduler for the Artemis Mission Data Modeling team\. - Created a pgvector RAG pipeline with a local Ollama LLM, structured output, and tool calling to extract activities and constraints from mission\-planning documents\. - Integrated the NASA scheduling pipeline with an OR\-Tools CP\-SAT solver to generate mission schedules and timelines under constraints\. - Exposed the NASA scheduler through a Python and Flask REST API, Docker deployment, and dashboard supporting natural\-language schedule edits\. - Built an AI summarization tool on NASA’s Ask Sage platform that consolidated multi\-team inputs and routed structured summaries to the NASA Administrator\. - Worked independently as the only CS or technical team member at NASA, supporting non\-technical stakeholders including the Director of EXOPS and mission managers\. - Built Stripe Connect Express KYB onboarding for B2B suppliers at Pcuro with Node\.js, Express, and webhook\-driven state reconciliation\. - Shipped a PostgreSQL ledger\-based refund and dispute system with fee reconciliation at Pcuro\. - Built a cross\-border U\.S\./U\.K\. payments flow using the Stripe FX Quotes API\. - Conducts University of Houston research through UR2PhD on minimum link path algorithms, visibility polygons, triangulation, and sensor and reflector placement in irregular cave geometries\. - Expected to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Houston in May 2028\. - Completed the UR2PhD Undergraduate Research Training Course through the Computing Research Association\. ## Experience - **Software Engineer Intern at NASA \- National Aeronautics and Space Administration** (2026\-06\-01–2026\-08\-01) — Built a mission auto\-scheduler for the Artemis Mission Data Modeling team: a RAG pipeline over pgvector feeds an OR\-Tools CP\-SAT solver, exposed over a REST API with natural\-language schedule edits\.
