I am researching evaluation techniques for Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) models and methods to utilize Large Language Models for XAI tasks. I have published research papers and will continue to produce quality research for publication.

The first three weeks of this research position were spent working on a small team to create an agent for the ANAC Automated Negotiation League. This agent ended up placing 2nd in the international competition and our team won a cash prize. The remaining portion of the research experience was focused on becoming familiar with natural language processing in order to categorize the sentiment of reviews obtained from a Ph.D. student at TU. We also discussed explainable AI techniques and built a working module using existing frameworks in Python.

As a Machine Learning and Data Engineer at Hometree Data, I cleaned billions of text-based stories to detect data poisoning, AI content, and spam. Additionally, I spearheaded the development of the Hometree Data API, featuring 3 search endpoints with complete Auth0 integration, to enhance user accessibility and security.

I worked with a large group of TU students and faculty on the Knowledge Core team. We created the engine through which physical sensor data would be processed to create security alerts, deploy a Boston Dynamics robotic dog, and visualize events in rooms using virtual reality.

St Louis, Missouri, United States

I worked on a solo project which fully automated the monthly process of screening the entities and individuals in the Express Scripts network against three government exclusion lists. I also created tools to automate internal SQL queries and R scripts according to recurring schedules. Alongside these major projects, I created several additional scripts which helped automate various different tasks, such as detecting key discrepancies between two databases or cleaning up large lists of emails to ensure all are valid and will send via Microsoft Outlook. Some of the technologies I worked with included R, R Markdown, Teradata, PostgreSQL, ODBC, and Microsoft Excel.

I assisted Dr. Dale Schoenefeld in setting up instances of JupyterHub and autograding software for his data science courses in the fall and spring semesters. The fall course integrated materials from UC Berkeley's Data 8 course. I also graded homework for his courses in both the fall and the spring. Some of the languages and technologies I worked with were Python, R, Jupyter, ok.py, Linux, Kubernetes, and Google Cloud.

I researched the ROC curves generated by several different classifiers and the ability to generate and label the thresholds associated with every (FPR, TPR) ordered pair on each curve. Some of the languages and tools I worked with were R, Python, RStudio, Anaconda, and Jupyter Notebooks.

St. Louis

I worked as a developer on a team tasked with building and maintaining a number of Marriott Hotels websites. I programmed primarily in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Some of the tools I worked with were WordPress, WP Engine, Stencil, Docker, Git, Bitbucket, and Jira. The team used Agile Workflow for completing tasks and handling releases in conjunction with Gitflow Workflow for appropriate versioning and branching practices.

I completely redesigned this Wordpress website which had not been touched in at least five years.
