As a Senior Research and Development Engineer on the Computer Vision team, I use machine learning to provide new tools for scientific research and government work across a wide range of disciplines. Projects I have worked on include algorithms research for satellite imagery analysis, containerized deployment of computer vision tools, augmented reality.

Troy, NY, US

I was responsible for three courses in the RPI Games and Simulations Arts and Sciences program: Two sections of Intro to Game Design, a workshop-based introduction to designing both digital and analog games, and one section of History and Culture of Games, an in-depth overview of games and their cultural place from ancient Mesopotamia to modern video games.

After completing my undergraduate education, I began working as an independent consultant, offering technical expertise and assistance to artists working on digital projects. This has included everything from tutoring artists in best practices for programming to providing advice on interfacing with the open source community to implementing code based on.

While pursuing my MFA at Brown University, I was hired as a technical consultant for a course on creating content for virtual reality (VR) platforms. I provided scripts to help students more easily interact with the Brown University CAVE, a room-sized distributed VR facility. I also developed custom solutions to help students implement new features for.

Waltham, MA, US

During my Master's studies at Brandeis University, I served as a teaching fellow for an advanced introductory mechanics course and an introductory electromagnetics course, and I was funded as an IGERT fellow during my second year. I worked with the Hagan research group to develop high-performance (MPI/CUDA) simulations of viral capsids budding through.

Providence, Rhode Island, US

I was responsible for teaching a series of single-session classes for undergraduate and graduate students on a variety of computer applications, including Photoshop, InDesign, Final Cut, Dreamweaver, HTML/CSS, Excel, and Powerpoint. I also trained new instructors and helped all instructors to prepare their lesson plans.

As a research assistant in the Brown University physics department, I helped develop and independently implemented an algorithm for optimal sector decomposition of polynomials occurring in Feynman integrals. I then transitioned to work on modifying an algorithm for resolution of singularities in Mellin-Barnes integrals. After implementing this algorithm as.

Waco, Texas, US

As a research fellow in the CASPER/Baylor NSF REU program, I developed an algorithm for finding U(1) charges in weakly-coupled free-fermionic heterotic string models. I then implemented this algorithm (C++) for high-performance explorations of string models.

Working as an intern at Consulting Aviation Services, I ran computer simulations to determine the effect of vortex eaglets on various airfoils.
