● Illuminated issue of “blind” tuning of Tesseract OCR Model: ● Resulted in changing how effort on the project is spent● Sourced and cleaned new and novel sources of data to be fed into the Tesseract Model● Maintained and continued to improve visual tools in Jupyter notebooks● Wrote detailed pull requests and made meaningful merges to our main branch on the GitHub Repository● Currently trying to find ways to reduce the character error rate of Tesseract

● Deployed the following in a breast cancer Kaggle competition: - Exploratory Data Analysis (31 clinical attributes and 331 genetic columns) - Data Wrangling (Leakage in particular needs to be treated with care in this dataset) - Visual EDA - Outperformed mean absolute error (MAE)baseline by as much as 50% with XGBoost, Random Forest Classifier-Tuned machine learning models (deep learning Keras neural networks. Tune network depth, node code, and activation functions)● Developed an air quality Flask app to display air quality metrics around the United States● Currently working with a team of data scientists and software developers to create a functional tool for the organization, Human Rights First- This collaborative environment uses Git and Github within an AGILE software development framework -

● Doubled the monthly quota of 20 held meeting in just 2 weeks (38 holds)● Gained valuable experience in Salesforce and Outreach.● Often had the highest cold call activity metrics on the BDR team● Adapted to changes within a start-up tech company

● Finished as #1 sales representative for 6 weeks in a row.● Doubled, and often tripled sales numbers beyond the quota.● Consistant, reliable, and high energy top performer in the top 20% of the inside sales force.● Developed sales techniques that better serviced our customers. These techniques were emulated, subsequently revolutionizing the sales process.

● Cross trained to coach residential and B2B sales representatives to reach sales quotas.● Increased productivity of struggling agents by ~50%● Improved sales compliance 14% by creating awareness and understanding in our sales process.● Increased performance by understanding what drives each individual sales representative, translating that drive into performance goals (metrics), and by developing action plans to reach these metrics.● Raised morale by being positive, fun, and empathetic.

● Managed sales territory, generated and closed leads, met quotas, and learned sales fundamentals.●Developed a passion for sales audiobooks ("SPIN Selling" by Neil Rackham, and "Sales EQ" by Jeb Blount, are a few of my favorites).

● Maintained a laboratory notebook, analyzed and stored data, and communicated findings via various software suites, etc.● Optogenetics: used genetically modified Hela cells to test the feasibility of a light activated heart pace maker (see Senior Thesis Document).

●Obtained knowledge of the medical device industry by compiling and analyzing data, writing validation and verification reports, interacting with manufacturing personnel, and utilizing six sigma practices.
