* Lead engineer on data profiler and synthetic data generation platform* Utilized deep-learning architectures such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and LSTMs for generating fully synthetic datasets, detecting sensitive content in datasets and replacing them with seemingly authentic fake replacements, and identifying key/column types and track the changes.* Contributed to design and development of the infrastructure for on-demand deep-learning model training, hyper-parameter tuning, and model management.* Sought new customers. Assessed and re-assessed customers’ needs weekly. Completed review with C1 Risk Office* Reduced waiting time for accessing sensitive datasets in QA environments from days to hours, for 30+ teams and 400+ engineers* Filed 30+ patents on the developed technologies* Winner of Capital One Cape Award for Tech Excellence

Due to the growing performance requirements, embedded systems are increasingly more complex. Meanwhile, they are also expected to be reliable. Guaranteeing reliability on complex systems is very challenging. Consequently, there is a substantial need for designs that enable the use of unverified components such as operating systems without requiring their correctness to guarantee the safety of physical systems.My research is focused on designing software architectures that enable such a safety property for cyber-physical systems. In particular, I have proposed and implemented a novel architecture for fault-tolerance and fault-recovery that enables runtime system restarts with formal guarantees about safety during and after the restart. In addition, I proposed and implemented another novel monitoring kernel to utilize the combination of physical plant dynamics and ARM TrustZone technology to provide guaranteed safety.
