- Built and implemented a full stack application to scrape and interpret financial data. Used Blazor for the front-end and .NET 8, CSLA, and MS SQL Server for the back-end.- Developed Winforms functionality that establishes real time feedback of new financial data being captured enabling researchers to more efficiently analyze and and distribute data to customers. Used C#, VB, and CSLA.- Collaborated on the design of new analytic products and ensured service reliability by troubleshooting, debugging and resolving issues with existing software

Performed software development and data analysis for research on quantum noise and tensor networks.• Implemented GPU backend support for quantum circuit simulator using CUDA.• Processed and visualized test data using Pandas and Matplotlib to create a multivariate model that predicts simulator efficiency. • Wrote UNIX shell scripts to run large scale quantum noise circuit simulations on the Polaris supercomputer to verify predictions based on number of qubits, degree of circuit, depth of circuit, error level and number of circuits in an ensemble. Stored results in MongoDB.• Presented research at APS and SC22 conferences.

Lemont, Il, Us

Contributed to advanced modeling and simulation tools as part of a summer research project funded by the Department of Energy.• Designed, prototyped, and implemented scalable stochastic quantum noise simulation functionality for QTensor in Python. QTensor is a parallel quantum circuit simulator based on the tensor network representation of quantum circuits. • Parallelized noise functionality using MPI for use on exa-scale supercomputers.• Ran circuit simulations with Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) to benchmark performance and determine tradeoffs.

Arlington, Va, Us

Modernized applications for the SDIL Laboratory at the Johnson Space Center to support its purpose of simulating the International Space Station for NASA.• Built and implemented a new single-page application (SPA) from the ground up using ASP.NET to replace an outdated internal website used by staff to update and access project information. CRUD operations were managed with EF Core while schema design and advanced query writing were handled with MS-DBMS.• Added functionality to GUI elements responsible for monitoring avionics subsystems by mapping them to their underlying code in Java.
