‬‭* Building‬‭ off‬‭ of‬‭ Layer-1‬‭ Benchmarking‬‭ research‬‭ done‬‭ last‬‭ summer.‬‭ Primary‬‭ Goal:‬‭ Develop‬‭ a‬‭ framework‬‭that fairly, transparently standardizes benchmarking blockchain performance‬.‭* Specialized‬‭ in‬‭ Layer-2‬‭ solutions.‬‭ Researching‬‭ all‬‭ the‬‭ L2‬‭ technologies‬‭ and‬‭ major‬‭ players‬‭ and‬‭ identifying‬‭current bottlenecks, starting to develop an idea of how to benchmark L2s‬.‬‭* Analyzed‬‭ which‬‭ L2‬‭ solutions‬‭ are‬‭ of‬‭ primary‬‭ importance:‬‭ Ie.‬‭ More‬‭ important‬‭ to‬‭ benchmark‬‭ performance‬‭ of‬ optimistic and ZK rollups rather than state channels and side chains‬.* Sparked‬‭ discussion‬‭ about‬‭ finality‬‭ of‬‭ transactions‬‭ after‬‭ they‬‭ are‬‭ bridged‬‭ to‬‭ L2s,‬‭ how‬‭ can‬‭ we‬‭ benchmark‬‭throughput and latency for these systems, made initial framework design decisions‬.‭* Contributed to a scholarly paper written on the challenges and framework to benchmark L2s‬‭

* Continuously working on creating a Smart Contract scanning module that identifies security vulnerabilities and performance issues for an existing cybersecurity scanning application* Developed module with Python/Javascript to identify different levels of vulnerability and connect to the existing Appwrite database.* Researched and used Llama-index AI libraries to query openAI to analyze scanned smart contracts* Exploring creating Vector store index and using Hugging Face embedding models to fine tune an existing AI model to better recognize vulnerabilities in smart contracts * Organized team and was the primary member to communicate with sponsor and set up meetings* Diligently kept team on pace for goals and maintained an agile project management (weekly sprints)

* Created endpoint with TS for adding user, and setting up payments with Stripe on project backend‬*‬‭ Created APIs to set up new user, authenticate user, logout, create a job, cancel job, pay for a job‬*‬‭ Sparked & pitched a business idea to automate email sending for customers‬‬‭* Developed a script to automate email sending using gmail’s SMTP server‬‬‭* Contacted potential business partners and set up & participated in online meetings

* Created interactive web pages for Community College of Morris’ new website* Worked with the design team and lead operations officer to deliver a product that satisfied CCM* Used Bugherd to catch minute errors in current designs after content uploading

* Solved a time solution by creating an online database, instead of resorting to drive/excel. * Created website to let employees navigate and edit a database of ‘outcome’ objects. * First experience with fullstack dev, researched and learned how to connect frontend-backend-database* Used React Frontend, Express.js Backend, Postgres SQL Database, Deployed with Heroku
