Provided research assistance by expanding and improving PEaRCE, an online computer science ethics simulation, which was successfully integrated into computer science curricula.More on PEaRCE here: https://www-net.cs.umass.edu/PEaRCE/

Amherst, MA, US

• Supported 200+ students in Object Oriented Programming.
• Led weekly lab sessions, answered questions in office hours and online discussions, graded assignments, and proctored exams.

Woburn, Massachusetts, US

• Designed and developed a file generation tool that creates simulated data files in a proprietary format using the XML schema, which greatly enhanced testing and debugging efficiency for a new custom sensor.
• Created interactive plotting tools with matplotlib and Plotly for displaying up to 2000 different accelerometer and temperature data from custom proprietary files. Tools used to demonstrate proof of concept at a tech.

Amherst, MA, US

• Supported 300+ students in COMPSCI 377 Operating Systems.
• Held weekly office hours, graded assignments, attended lectures to help with in-class activities, and answered questions both online and during in-person labs.

• Automated calibration of custom sensor devices by writing a script that sets new accelerometer data, serial numbers, and certificate values to firmware, to help fufill contract for Australian Department of Defense.
• Created a program that generates multi-plot sensor data reports in real time using AWS, S3, and Timestream, which was used as proof of concept for a million dollar contract.

Amherst, Massachusetts, US

• Managed hackathon of over 400 participants and personally coordinated with UMass Dining, volunteer groups, workshop hosts, and professors.

• Led courses on Python, C++, and VexCode for multiple groups of kids on a weekly rotation throughout the summer.
• Created new instructional material to supplement curriculum for improved content learning and communicated frequently with students to facilitate participation and ensure on-track curriculum completion.
• Received recognition from students, parents, and supervisors for exceeding expectations in education and engagement.

Amherst, MA, US

• Programmed model in Python that uses machine learning with convolutional neural networks to correctly identify items in the CIFAR10 image set, and achieved up to 76% accuracy in image classification.
• Created virtual poster that summarized what was learned and accomplished under guidance of a PhD mentor, and presented it to all other volunteers and mentors of the program.
