One of my key responsibilities as a Software Engineer is to understand/analyze necessary requirements and contribute to the development of quality products in coordination with technical staff (remote team with different time zones) and end-users. I capture information about moving objects from video (including speed and acceleration calculations etc.) using machine learning. As a highly skilled professional, I develop highly interactive UI/UX designs to provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users. I maintain deep knowledge of Scrum/Agile methodologies, while recommending effective solutions throughout software development lifecycle (SDLC). Furthermore, I communicate complex information to non-technical personnel/users in a simplified manner.Key Achievements:• Software Developer Intern; Summer 2017, 2018• Currently leading a sponsored project at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, as a mentor (Aug 2020-Present).• Handpicked by senior management for overseeing Machine Learning Apprenticeship:Ø Supported development team in integrating machine learning to web products that empowered decision-making and enabled developers in understanding browsing behaviors of the users.• Developed a slide deck for the investor’s negotiation that supported the team in winning a deal with Bain Capital Tech Opportunities.• Received an award for exemplifying company value "we're respectfully blunt".• Won “Skunkworks” project award “Best in New Tech” for developing a fun Slack channel (utilizing a Raspberry Pi with a camera).
