• Working year-round on the AWS Security team; full-time in the summer and part-time during the school year (16-20 hours per week)
• Contributing to a greater level of company-wide cyber security through the development of a service that blocks domains, file path executions, IPs, and certificate hashes
• Developed a service that leverages AWS cloud resources (Lambda, SQS, SNS, S3, CloudWatch) to process a data stream of 40 million security logs per hour to generate performance metrics on an internal DNS and software.
• Employed caching strategies to optimize the cost and speed of hundreds of concurrently running lambda functions

San Luis Obispo, California, United States

• Conducting an analysis of faculty research collaboration patterns with a focus on ethnicity to contribute towards enhancing diversity within California public universities
• Developed Python scripts to proficiently web scrape hundreds of high-quality photos of celebrities and athletes
• Automated the dataset photo cropping process to isolate facial features accurately
• Employed Clarifai and Namsor APIs to perform an extensive analysis of determining the most effective software-driven approach for making demographic inferences based on individuals' faces and names.
• Trained Naive Bayes and Random Forest machine learning models to predict the ethnicity of individuals by leveraging facial and name information
