I am currently a computer science student at Hofstra University and software engineer for AlticeUSA. Fascinated with novel AI technologies, I pursued a research position in the fields of both deep learning and computer vision, which exposed me to GANs, CNNs, and big data. After gaining experience and completing relevant coursework (Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing), I was able to land a full time co-op in the same area of interest with AlticeUSA. Working under AlticeUSA's consumer-facing service provider--Optimum--I was able to cultivate an understanding of the many systems that contribute to successful operations in the telecommunications industry. I gained experience in data science, log processing, deploying AI models as endpoints, app development (web + mobile), agile methodology, software architecture, proof-of-concept, and numerous industry tools.
