I am managing four teams developing software ranging from a car detection device for gathering transportation data at stoplights, an art project for AI producing music, an exoplanet identifier visualized on a website and a productivity website that analyzes digital workloads. These projects are all deployed within the AWS ecosystem using tools such as.

I taught classes for upwards of 20 students at a time on numerous coding concepts (recursion, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, divide and conquer) in Python while maintaining my full-time student status and independent research. This reinforced my foundational coding skills.

I created an AI that recreates images of what you are looking at by reading your brain signals. This project required extensive research on related works, GANs and EEG processing. I learned how to read papers and implement what I read in those papers. I used distributed cloud computing with Google Colaboratory and version control through GitHub.

I developed an exoplanet classifier (91% F1 score) that read in Kepler lightcurve data and predicted whether or not it was an exoplanet. This CNN based classifier was implemented in Tensorflow Keras and was converted from an original model created in PyTorch. I worked cross functionally in an Agile based environment with frontend and backend developers to.

I worked under Chris Miller to develop a reinforcement learning model that would control traffic lights. I used numerous AWS services (SageMaker, EC2, S3, Lambda) to build and deploy this model for improving traffic congestion. Replying to requests through Lambda, we simulated a traffic environment with two lights and tested the AI traffic controller.

Santa Cruz

I coach after school sessions for local elementary schools giving classes subject to the school's request ranging from Chess to LEGO Robotics. This company is relatively new and recently expanded to the Santa Cruz area which has taught me how to work flexibly and in tandem with a young, developing company. Through weekly sessions with these schools, I also.

I handled food/drink preparation, restocking and cashiering while at this position. As this was a relatively small café with only a few employees working at a time, this experience furthered my skills in communication, management and flexibility.

Instacart is a grocery delivery platform where customers order online and employees shop, pickup and deliver the groceries under a given time. This position taught me the importance of efficiency and how to work under time pressure.

San Mateo

I worked in the consumables department and as a cashier at my local Target while attending high school. As this was my first job, I learned valuable skills such as team work, efficiency, communication and promoting customer satisfaction.
