I am a teaching assistant and grader for Dr. Rebecca Bercicich’s EM103 Graphcom a class teaching mostly freshmen mechanical engineering majors on how to CAD in Solidworks.

Built universal GUI for graphing CNV genome analysis in React/Next.js Framework under the guidance of Dr. Karol Szlachta and Dr. Gang Wu.

At my REU, I worked under the guidance of Dr. Alex Pak to develop machine learning models - specifically transformers and recurrent neural networks - to accurately identify peptide sequences that will likely form hydrogels that would have the properties to work for medical delivery. I made models and investigated different architectures, hyperparameters, and data parametrization.

I began as a teacher's assistant at Bits Bites and Bots a company that provides STEM summer camps and STEM after school programs. I am now a teacher, and I have lead and co-lead STEM summer camps. I assist the teacher in teaching elementary and middle school students coding, robotics, and engineering.https://bitsbytesandbots.com

I was in Vanderbilt University's first High School Research Immersionn cohort for data science research. In this research experience, I worked under Dr. Spencer-Smith and Dr. Bell with a team of other high school researchers (Wenchi Liu, Justin Xu, Ben Lu) on project of classifying key facts in class action court documents. I went through the process to create custom fit models utilizing the hugging face NLP library in Python to create models to classify a case as injunctive or not injunctive – legal terminology for if the judge ordered the defendant to stop practicing the act that put them in court. Additionally, I assisted my colleagues in fixing their code, developing models, and leading thought.

During this summer internship, I learned a lot about the venture capital industry in choosing investable startups, partnerships, the process and laws of acquiring private equity, and exercising management rights to help lead the companies. I learned all of this from reading documents, talking to Mr. Adrain Eddleman, and sitting in on a board meeting. This was a great experience and I am thankful to Eddleman and Eddleman.

I've make indie games and have currently developed and self published 2 games to mobile platforms. And co-developed a game for desktop.https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=5316371718143533186&hl=en_UShttps://apps.apple.com/us/developer/stanley-pounds/id1493462287
