- Integrated instance segmentation models into existing workflows to provide new product offerings.- Created maintainable infrastructure to deploy machine learning services in AWS with terraform.- Experimented with different object detection models to optimize product performance.

Taught undergraduate courses in designing and implementing code to solve problems with machine learning, data science, optimal control theory, and modeling.

I wrote curriculum and code for the Applied and Computational Mathematics program at BYU. The writing I did is for the Python based labs associated with this program. My areas of work within this project were data science tools, machine learning tools, ODE and PDE solvers, and calculus of variations and optimal control.I wrote a lab that describes the mathematics behind Naïve Bayes classifiers and instructs students on how to create an NB classifier from scratch. This includes using… Show more I wrote curriculum and code for the Applied and Computational Mathematics program at BYU. The writing I did is for the Python based labs associated with this program. My areas of work within this project were data science tools, machine learning tools, ODE and PDE solvers, and calculus of variations and optimal control.I wrote a lab that describes the mathematics behind Naïve Bayes classifiers and instructs students on how to create an NB classifier from scratch. This includes using maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and Bayesian inference to predict parameters in feature distributions. This lab also included instructions on using the naïve Bayes methods in scikit-learn. I also wrote a lab that describes the mathematics behind optimal control and instructs students on how to code solutions to optimal control problems, such as obstacle avoidance.I managed others that were also writing curriculum, including advising on pedagogical methods and reviewing instructional material.

I study network theory, which seeks to rigorously define and describe the complex relationships and dynamics that are found in networks like the world wide web, social networks, and the human brain.My work is published in the scientific journal Physica A.

I held review lectures, wrote exams questions and essay prompts, and graded exams and essays on topics in American government and politics.

My main goal in this endeavor is to change the culture of STEM undergraduates. Too often we disconnect ourselves from others in this field and this is something that I want to work to change, at least within my school.
