- Addressing a need for a centralized system to parse, analyze, and track the system's performance and usage.- Developing a pipeline in Python to parse raw device logs, store the logs in cloud storage (Amazon S3), and save the extracted data in PostgreSQL for calculating key performance metrics. - Designing and implementing a React frontend for users to easily generate new statistics and visualize data.

Santa Barbara, California, United States

- Set up, configured, and expanded on an open-source trading system in Python enabling live trading across many futures markets.- Leveraged various quantitative analyses in Python to optimize trading parameters to minimize risk and maximize return.- Improved ease of maintenance by implementing daily email reports that consolidated hundreds of daily email notifications into three concise emails, significantly reducing email noise.- Reduced system downtime and improved reliability by troubleshooting and debugging critical errors.

Goleta, California, United States

- Designed and implemented a web portal and database to replace the outdated spreadsheet system, addressing problems with data integrity and user experience, effectively reducing the time required to complete data-related tasks by 70%.- Improved data accessibility and accuracy, reduced administrative tasks, and addressed the need among staff for web-based data management available on desktop and mobile.

- Program admitting 3-5 students annually at UC Santa Barbara designed to identify and educate California’s future leaders by preparing promising students to assume positions of leadership and prepare for advanced education in science, technology, mathematics, and engineering.- Received a grant for research materials and professional travel, demonstrating recognition of my research potential and commitment to professional development.- Further developed career and professional goals through networking with faculty, alumni, and both academic and industry scientists.

Irvine, Ca

- Developed a Python data processing pipeline to manage files, clean data, and analyze seven key metrics of participants' path integration data, a dataset from spatial navigation experiments conducted in virtual reality.- Recovered 72% of missing records, pinpointed 300+ records with duplicate data, and presented insights at the UC Irvine SURF symposium, advancing research on spatial memory and path integration.- Developed and maintained project across two collaborating labs in different locations: Hegarty Spatial Thinking Lab in Goleta, CA (March 2023–June 2023 and August 2023–December 2023) and Chrastil Lab & CAVERN in Irvine, CA (June 2023–August 2023).

Santa Barbara, California, United States

- Streamlined a previously fragmented process into one application by developing a MATLAB software for binarizing, segmenting, detecting, and classifying microscopy images. - Using mathematical and morphological processes, created a MATLAB software for binarizing, segmenting, detecting, and categorizing microscopic pictures of dendritic spines, achieving automatic binarization of 90% of images and successful alignment of 76% of images.- Trained a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to classify dendritic spines into their respective stages of growth, utilizing machine learning and statistical learning principles for parameter optimization and Principal Component Analysis (PCA).- Software continuously used for research projects on dendritic spine analysis.

- Ran automaticity and category learning experiments using PsychoPy, an open source cross-platform package for behavioral scientists.- Invited back among a select few undergraduates to continue discussing related literature in 2021.
