Implemented product code for Voter Registration Sticker, Comments Sticker, Comments in Facebook Stories, and Like/Love Animations in the Story Viewer and the Story Tray in Facebook FeedVoter registration sticker contributed to company wide effort to register 4.4 million voters for 2020 US electionsAnimations products contributed to increases in org level goal metricsAs part of shipping these products I collaborated with designers, product managers, and data scientists to conduct experiments and A/B tests that informed the final look and feel of these productsLed a weekly iOS team meeting to discuss best iOS practices, good internal/external iOS tools to use, and new iOS features and functionality

Introduced a new MVP designed to foster empathy and understanding between users by surfacing things they have in common.Synthesized two teams’ disparate requirements into a single, dual-purpose back-end system designed to satisfy both teams’ wishes.Developed internal tools to empower team members to envision how the completed MVP would function and gain insight into how users would experience the product, allowing the team to see potential issues and better the product.Determined what data would be relevant to know before putting significant engineering resources into the MVP and implementing code to actually record that data for analysis.Analyzed and presented data to help guide the MVP through cross function compliance with legal, policy, and partners teams for experiment launch.Led meetings and brainstorms with other Facebook teams to target product shortcomings and technical difficulties and identify potential improvements to assist in a smooth launch.Served as MVP point of contact for issues and questions pertaining to user privacy and visibility and led the communications channel between the teams responsible for the code related to these topics.Added custom sound and haptic feedback to comment up/down vote product on iOS to enhance user experience

Collaborating with University of Michigan Cancer Center to develop & document a simulation to estimate patient wait times in clinicsAssisted in development of a program to schedule medical residents with constraints like vacation days, consecutive hours worked, and graduation requirements

Collected data and trained Recurrent Neural Network for natural language processingAnalyzed effectiveness of existing machine learning techniques and fashioned a new hybrid approach to improve accuracyImplemented front-end and back-end code for a new feature to display the performances of stocks in a user’s portfolio

Worked with the Driver Assistance Radar team on embedded systems that converted in-vehicle signals from one model vehicle to another. The signal conversion was used to "trick" Bosch's radar products into thinking they were being used with unreleased vehicles in order to economically test Bosch's products without needing the actual prototype vehicle. Obtained Bosch driver certification "Level 2" (vehicle testing involving light dynamic maneuvers on high-mu surfaces, split-mu up to 50mph, high bank).
