Stratz+Built a neural-network based AI drafting (complex character selection process) tool for the popular computer game DoTA 2, which is powered by 5 custom designed neural nets, including a Transformer based encoderUsed custom search (adaptation of Beam Search) algorithm to find best draft optionLed transition to training the drafting tool to maximize win probabilities using Reinforcement Learning via self-playDistributed RL Training PipelineImplemented custom distributed training pipeline using RabbitMQDesigned platform to be platform (OS) agnostic, generalizable to different training algorithms, and extensible to local/remote hardwareTraining pipeline supports automated unit test execution during trainingNeural Network Powered AnalyticsDeveloped and implemented 7 neural networks to perform prediction and analytics tasks across the siteUsed differentiable sinkhorn loss to learn lane/role model, since predictions are conditional on themselvesImproved pre-match win rate prediction accuracy by over 10% (from 53% to 66%)Improved in-game win rate accuracy by over 20% (from 60% to a peak of 80% at 20 minutes into the game)Improved novel IMP (individual match performance) metricDeveloped techniques to explain neural network predictions using gradient ascent

Responsible for updating inventory of supplies for upcoming conference. Was tasked with counting thousands of name tags by hand, but instead measured by weight to save time. Used saved time to take initiative and establish automated inventory system in Excel for orginization, so they would always have updated numbers.
