Incoming Engineer Intern for summer 2021

Natural Language Processing Team- Worked on the optimization technique neural style transfer. Worked on creating an Android game app that allows users to select a certain object and apply style transfer to that object. - Created an android App Backend using both nodeJS and Retrofit 2.0. I built a server/client connection for the android user using these tools. - Read several research papers that talked about style transfer using masks. By using these masks, I was able to do localized style transfer on a specific object the user selects. I worked with the code these papers provided and combined it with some nodeJS code to build the full pipeline.- Also worked a bit on NLP, learning about the Bert Model from research papers and learning how to finetune it. I combined it with cosine similarity to give out a similarity score between two sentences or phrases.

- Was given the project title (NLP for Cannabis Text Data). I wrote code to scrape data from cannabis websites and organized the scraped data into clean datasets for future research use. - Also worked with Tor to anonymously scrape webpages, since some of them blocked out our ip addresses. I would also work a bit with these datasets, applying NLP techniques and ML packages (like cosine similarity) to find patterns and trends in the data.

- Helped organize data using google sheets from the GSI Conference every newly appointed graduate student Instructor needs to attend. - Was responsible for handling the on-site registration process, and post-attendance analysis. Numerous data spreadsheets were involved to verify and discern before imputing the final tally into our campus record system.- Also made a new GSI course within “bCourses” (UC Berkeley's official campus Learning Management System) for our Center’s Director. I added pertinent information to the course, and checked for successful functionality.

- Was given the opportunity to become a computer science mentor for CS70 (Discrete Mathematics and Probability). This class was a prerequisite class to apply for the computer science major.- Would mentor a group of students twice per week, going over lecture material and worksheet problems. Also create problem sets for guerrilla sections for students to further practice and study the material.

Academic Intern for CS70 (Discrete Mathematics and Probability) and CS61B (Data Structures)Assisted students during lab times, office hours, and Homework/Project parties.
