David Falokun Email & Phone Number

I am a recent Master's in Computer Science graduate seeking career opportunities in the Chicago area. Through my academic journey, I have gained an understanding of topics like the Software Engineering Process, Compiler Design, Graphics Programming, Computer Systems Engineering, Statistics, Microeconomics, Multivariable Calculus and Introductory Physics. I have technical experience with a variety of programming languages (C-based languages, Swift, Python, Typescript, Prolog, etc.), a variety of libraries and frameworks (Next.js, Pandas, PyTorch, etc.), and utilizing scripting tools and command line interfaces (Bash and Powershell). I have also had the special experience of conducting research at the undergraduate and graduate levels, which have granted me skills in technical writing, and conducting empirical studies.My two primary interests lie in high performance computing and the intersection of computing and creative development. I believe that computers are most impressive when they can accomplish complex tasks at high speeds. I’m interested in parallel programming, low level programming, and software optimization. I’m also very interested in combining computing and creativity. I am a creator at my core and an avid proponent of utilizing computing to reduce the manual load of the artistic process to embolden creativity. I am interested in Graphics Programming and other domains that incorporate the creation and utilization of creative software tooling. As aforementioned, I have conducted research. At the undergraduate level, I did an exploratory analysis of hardware security and attempting to exploit Arm TrustZone. At the graduate level, I explored creating tooling to assist developers in the development of parallel programs. I have also completed a variety of projects both in and out of the classroom. These include Identifying Profitable New Record Releases through Spotify’s API, a Logic Programming Mutation Generator, and Cell Segmentation and Synthetic Voice Generation Machine Learning Models, are many more.I believe I have the technical knowledge, experience, and work ethic to build something impressive.
