• Led software development on an automatic database failover using Agile methodologies. Reduced the failover time from a 30 minute manual to 5 minutes automated, scalable and reliable failover process of Securities Database.• Collaborated with DBAs to design an automatic failover mechanism focusing on scalability and correctness. Deployed 5-node ETCD clusters as coordination and locking service to manage 300 databases per ETCD cluster.• Delivered a Python library with good documentation and test coverage and an automatic CI/CD pipeline to deploy updates within 20 minutes. Deployed a gRPC based solution for efficient inter-process communication.

• Analyzing the training dynamics of traditional and Wasserstein GAN protocols under several synthetic settings.• Developed a new robust protocol which has much faster convergence rates.• Creating new algorithms to optimize any desired combination of loss functions for a simple GAN.

• Researched literature for generative and style transfer methods to produce caricatures from real face images.• Created a real-to-caricature labeled face dataset with more than 200 celebrities and 40k images.• Programmed the best 3 state-of-the-art models in Tensorflow - Neural Style Transfer, CycleGAN, and Domain Transfer Network to compare over the dataset.
