Worked as a systems/backend engineer on IG Shopping

Worked as a backend/systems engineer on Marketplace Infra where I helped build out and scale Marketplace's retrieval/ranking infrastructure. At the core of our infrastructure is a state-of-the-art recommendation system that helps over 1B people buy and sell products within their local community every month.

Worked with the ranking infrastructure and type-ahead groups within the Search & Profile team.

Bedford, Massachusetts, US

Designed an interface between publicly available SLAM datasets and iRobot's vSLAM algorithm to test the accuracy and limitations of the existing autonomous navigation software. Investigated the practicality of using convolutional neural networks to identify household objects and furniture within images retrieved from iRobot’s Roomba.

Pasadena, CA, US

Worked with machine learning professors and graduate students to design 'interpretable' classifiers. Fine-tuned a convolutional neural network using a dataset of North American Birds. Extracted neurons from the top layers of the network in order to analyze top image firings for given sets of neurons. Trained Support Vector Machines on extracted features to.

Pasadena, CA, US

Developed operations software to control multiple heterogeneous robots simultaneously from a common interface via the Internet. Designed a communications stack that enables communication between robots and the control system. Integrated the communications stack with the API developed by the team. Deployed a graphical web application that simplifies human.

Berkeley, CA, US

Worked with the engineering department of the Center for X-Ray Optics at LBNL to research and develop new techniques for nanolithography. Developed software to supplement a prototype stage design to be analyzed for use in EUV lithography. Used an object-oriented design paradigm to model the various motors and sensors comprising the stage.
