Baltimore, Maryland Area

• Developed teaching materials as a PILOT leader to facilitate peer-led team learning in more informal learning environments.
• PILOT leader for Differential Equations & Applications (2018) and Linear Algebra (2019).

Dearborn, MI

• Configured forecasting models to predict car sales and drive more accurate supplier part reccomendations.
• Used Python (sklearn, numpy, pandas), Alteryx, and Hadoop to extract and wrangle big automotive data for configuration mapping of sales.
• Achieved a 2% more accurate sales forecast by RMSE measure for a widely used tool in supplier recommendations.
• Designed a dashboard using Alteryx and Qlikview that quantified the risk level of thousands of Ford servers globally
• Collaborated with colleagues to deliver data-driven efficiencies across the Ford value chain.

Baltimore, Maryland

• Investigated novel DNA nanoparticle synthesis to treat malignant glioblastoma with PEGylated particles and various gene therapy mechanisms.
• Lead a project designing novel PEG particles to coat the DNA, analyzed the data and concluded the PDI of the 2K mPEG particles was too high for use in gene therapy.

Baltimore, Maryland Area
