- Oversaw development of an autonomous micro-airplane designed to operate in unison with multiple units- Collaborated with a team of mechanical/aerospace engineers to design and iterate over the prototype- Adapted existing flight control script to account for changes in aircraft design and architecture- Developed flight simulator to model airplane trajectory based on geometry and material composition- Presented weekly updates and pivots to the professor and other subteams to receive feedback

- Constructed a large-scale portfolio optimization model with multiprocessing and logging.- Built a hybrid covariance model that combines machine learning and traditional multivariate models.- Designed a data pipeline that utilized time-series financial data compression for efficient storage.- Containerized each piece of the model to make overall computation modular and distributed.- Researched viable financial models for predicting covariance, expected returns and optimizing portfolio weights.

- Developed software to create/optimize primer combinations that target cancerous DNA mutations for PCR testing- Built an internal database management system to provide data consistency and version tracking- Optimized mutation processing algorithms by eliminating unnecessary computation and memory usage- Learned about changing and maintaining software that is utilized regularly and essential to a large group of people- Improved usability of codebase by adding command line options, consistent style, and thorough documentation- Implemented an error-catching system to identify locations of misformatted mutations in the database

- Partnered with a client building a social media application to design a feasible minimum viable product- Modeled user flow on the application in order to simplify design and prepare it for development- Gave input on design decisions and features to keep/remove to reduce the costs of initial iterations- Created tickets for each feature to be sent to the development team to gauge pricing and project time
