• Automated the discovery and generation of AI Workflows in a marketplace environment using an ontology-based system
• Built an interactive ontology-based intelligent assistant, designed to transform query and intent to a beginning-to-end complete workflow, generating company sales an contracts
• Formalized the scope needed for the ontology including types of input/output data, types of user intent, and the relationships between AI Functions
• Initiated patent process as lead inventor for a novel ontology-based assistant technology
• Ontology written in OWL with SWRL Rules, intelligent assistant written in Python

• Saved an estimated 50,000,000 Euro/yr by developing a tool that finds patterns between detected anomalies and interruptions (a halting of a production line) using their time-series data in several manufacturing lines
• Developed the ontology that is based on the generated patterns and predicts if new incoming data will result in an interruption, and if so, what kind of interruption
• Improved performance of line workers by developing a domain-specific ontology-based virtual assistant that could answer queries. The ontology was generated utilizing text documents, and enriched using external.
• Hired and mentored an intern over the summer to work on existing projects, and prepared results for submission to a top-rated AI conference
• Worked in Java and Python environments, utilized Druid DB for time-series data and Mongo DB for Knowledge Graph data, and several Python libraries, such as pandas, for data management

Facilitate and help run Outreach recruiting events around campus throughout the year. Manage connections with, and visit highschools for recruitment of potential students. Disseminate and update the information regarding the department to other departments and students.

Taught courses ranging from second to fourth year, covering the variety of disciplines in computing. Focus on software design classes about gathering and specifying requirements, and design principles. Incorporate the development of a mobile application, including design, implementation, and testing and verification. Responsible for evaluating work.

Developed a parser to translate between Product Family Algebra and a Graphical Feature Model. Written in C using Flex and Bison, used context free grammars.
