Designed, developed, and validated algorithms for monitoring, analyzing, and reconfiguring self-adaptive software systems. In more detail, my main contributions include the following:● Lead author and researcher on over 20 peer-reviewed journal, conference, and workshop publications,● Developed a robust, real-time decision engine to reconfigure a data mirroring network,● Engineered a technique to discover and cluster operational contexts that produce unexpected software behaviors,● Implemented an object-oriented framework to support adaptive self-monitoring,● Harvested and catalogued monitoring, decision-making, and reconfiguration design patterns for developing self-adaptive systems,● Mentored fellow graduate students on conducting research and publishing results,● Elected and served as a representative in the Computer Science and Engineering Advisor Committee (August 2012 - May 2013),● Elected and served as a representative in the Computer Science and Engineering Graduate Studies and Research Committee (March 2010 - May 2012),● Student chair and organizer for the Alfred P. Sloan Graduate Student Engineering Program (August 2010 - May 2012).

Successfully applied agile development methods to engineer a three- tier distributed JAVA/SQL system to register clients into a food distribution center, enforce distribution policies, and gather usage statistics and patterns. Software system still in use with support provided on a voluntary basis. Project technologies include JavaSE, Swing, MySQL, and JDBC.

Assigned to the Ads Circulars / Promotions team where our objective was to increase user engagement by providing useful ads for interesting and related offers.Analyzed user logging data to learn interactions with circular offers. We built a machine-learning framework that scraped relevant log data, constructed an engagement graph capturing user interactions with specific offers across reconstructed sessions, and applied evolutionary, graph, and social network analysis algorithms to identify related offers that boost user engagement. Preliminary results showed interesting and non-obvious relationships between circular offers across different sessions.Development technologies included Python, Sawzall, and PatchPanel.

I was assigned to the Global Equities Research IT group for the duration of my internship. As a member of this team, I led the design and implementation of a generic and extensible regression testing framework for evaluating the availability, quality, coherency, and consistency of data across multiple databases, services, and programs. By automatically detecting and reporting data quality issues, this framework directly supports the operation of Global Equities businesses (200-300 persons), as well as streamlines the checkout process of new features while ensuring that existing functionality is preserved.Technologies used during development of the framework include: Python, Perl, XML, DTD, and Sybase databases. I also learned about Citadel's Global Equities business, its needs, and, in general, about hedge funds and the financial industry.

I developed and maintained a web-based application to enable the OptimaTitle company employees to track, organize, prioritize, and update open short sales and foreclosure cases. Software was successfully deployed within allotted schedule.More specifically, for this project, I was responsible for configuring a Ruby on Rails application framework; developing Ruby code for creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting short sale and foreclosure cases; and integrating and maintaining SQL databases, developing HTML, CSS, AJAX, and Javascript code for the web-based user interface.
