I work on the Digital Advertising Platform team, in which I help to automate and optimize a system that posts automobile dealer advertisements to Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other major online services. My major responsibilities are: - Maintains, improves, and expands a micro services architecture using web applications with RESTful APIs to achieve low latency, high throughput, minimal production problems, and a delightful experience for users - Develops code using Test-Driven Development in order to create clean, well-tested software that applies OO design patterns and functional-style programming methods to facilitate maintenance and extensibility - Helps to run a smooth-functioning 1-week cycle Agile/Kanban development process, working continuously with product owners to understand business needs and formulate solutions to meet those needs - Leads a large part of the development of a full stack application to replace a tedious error-prone Excel workflow - Led the deployment of a Maven dependency management policy that is successfully applied across 120+ Java projects - Developed code to replace several old, inefficient tools with fast, reliable web applications with optimized workflows - Led college and high school summer intern teams to develop full stack web applications from ideas to final products - Using languages including Java, TypeScript, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS - Using practices such as Agile, Kanban, Scrum, Test-Driven Development, Pair and Mob Programming, Functional Core/Imperative Shell - Using technologies such as Angular, Angular Material, Git, Maven, JUnit, Spring, Mockito, Jasmine, NPM, Karma, Java Persistence API, Liquibase, Docker, Splunk, Atlassian suite, IntelliJ IDE

• Carbon Tax Calculator, advised by Alan Borning: Designed and built a calculator website to help inform 7 million Washington state voters about the impact of a revenue-neutral carbon tax proposal on their household or business tax situation. Created an interactive data visualization using the D3.js Javascript library to model estimated statewide financial impacts of the carbon tax policy. • Computational Neuroscience, advised by Rajesh Rao: Developed a probabilistic model of how time is processed in the lateral intraparietal area of the brain. Tuned model with data from neurophysiological and psychophysical experiments to achieve maximum predictive power

Analyzed neural spike data from experiments on ferrets to better characterize processing in the auditory cortex in terms of the temporal dynamics of neurons

• Created an automatic volume leveling algorithm for real time speech applications and achieved improvements in standard measures of speech quality• Won the award for best overall project in the program out of about ten other projects

Developed and utilized software to optimize the accuracy and speed of large scale scientific computing algorithms

• Improved the speed of double-gate MOSFET (DGM) models by ~33% using optimization techniques in MATLAB• Investigated the effects on execution speed when mathematical DGM models were run using C++ versus MATLAB• Reorganized MATLAB code of several device models to facilitate code reusability and interoperability among models• Simulated various DGM configurations using TCAD Sentaurus and compared the results with the model results

• Created a C++ program to control a pan-tilt unit (PTU) remotely using a client-server model network based on the Neutral Message Language. The program offers very accurate control of the PTU for hardware testing purposes.• Enhanced a data acquisition, storage, and access system to support additional types of data. The program optimizes data storage size and format and is intended for use on large integrated hardware/software systems.
