- Developed first Pan-Disease model. This model was a Transformer architecture with cleverly implemented encoders and probabilistic decoders to cover a wide variety of clinical measurements (both static in time and dynamic, and of variety of types such as binary, ordinal, continuous, etc). It achieved SOTA performance on many internal performance measure.

San Francisco, CA, US

- Modeling: Developed a SOTA model for predicting major health events. This model used a co-regional Gaussian Process for multi-input/output time-series smoothing and prediction in conjunction with a non-linear Cox Hazard model for event prediction (implemented in TensorFlow). Created a variety of more standard classification models using Scikit-Learn for.

Cupertino, California, US

• Quickly came up to speed on sensor technologies, resulting in promotion within the first 6 months.
• Developed key hardware characterization metrics leveraged across touch hardware platforms and created corresponding measurement automation tools delivering high accuracy and repeatability.
• Responsible for cross-functional (EE, ME, Firmware, Reliability and Process) coordination to deliver the ultimate in performance. "Best touch experience in the business, hands down" - Engadget (2012 MacBook Pro)

San Francisco, California (CA), US

• Created a system to record Biometric and GPS data implemented with 3 PIC processors on an accelerated time schedule. The design also met constraints to be compatible with existing hardware,exceeded Bit Error Rate.
• Upgraded Data Acquisition System: Increased data rate, made the system extensible from three simultaneous measurements to many and incorporated a feedback system to validate measurements. Characterized the measurement.
• Designed, built and programmed 915 MHz wireless USB Device implemented with an Altera FPGAthat handled USB and data demodulation in parallel to eliminate simultaneous interrupt errors.
• Managed EmBand production: Coordinated 13 vendors and Contract Manufacturers. Managed a team of 3 full-time, in-house assemblers. Responsible for documentation and quality control.

- Dedicated myself to an all out effort to make the US Ski Team.- Traveled all over the world training with some of the finest athletes and coaches.- Leader of my ski team with multipole sponsorships and ranked amongst the top racers in the country.

Batavia, IL, US

- First and only undergraduate student to ever be an intern in the Theoretical Physics Department.- Learned the basics of Quantum Field Theory.- Developed a collaborative relationship with mentor, Bogdan Dobrescu.

Los Alamos, NM, US

- In 2 months, I learned Perl and a variety of client server protocols.- Created finite state machines to process entries in server log files produced by the protocols.- Produced and executed a poster presentation with Q and A delivered to a lab wide audience.- Delivered a lecture to my research group on Roanoke Doppler Systems.

Salt Lake City, Utah, US

- Rebuilt a drop tube furnace with limited resources, often finding creative solutions using old parts.- Created automated data analysis tools reducing analysis time from 1 month to 2 days.- Built a test environment for calibrating the PAS2000, a device so finicky no one could operate reliably.
