Experience

 
 
 
 
 
Digital Inovation Lab
Web Developer
Digital Inovation Lab
August 2023 – Present California
Developed and integrated a sophisticated web application feature enabling dynamic content generation based on user-specific data. Achieved this by implementing a secure LinkedIn OAuth authentication flow, and deploying RESTful APIs to fetch, analyze, and present personalized insights leveraging OpenAI’s GPT model.
 
 
 
 
 
NSF|Boise State University
Blockchain Research Fellow
NSF|Boise State University
May 2023 – August 2023 Idaho
Developed a blockchain-based system to enhance neural network training integrity. Conducted rigorous experiments resulting in a notable increase in model verification accuracy, with accuracy rates exceeding 80% in a system with 50% malicious nodes, ensuring Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) and resistance to Sybil attacks. This system effectively reduced the risk of model manipulation and data poisoning, as evidenced by its performance in experiments I constructed testing scalability, accuracy, and robustness.
 
 
 
 
 
NSF|Boise State University
Data Science Research Fellow
NSF|Boise State University
February 2023 – June 2023 California
Developed a domain specific topic modeling pipeline, leading to a significant enhancement in model accuracy by 15% over traditional methods. Utilized tokenization, lemmatization, and stemming with Python, NLTK, and Gensim. Published findings elucidating the comparative effectiveness of various topic modeling methods.
 
 
 
 
 
San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance
Software Developer Intern
San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance
April 2022 – August 2022 California
Re-designed an advanced species classification system using PyTorch, achieving an 18% increase in identification accuracy compared to previous methods. This was accomplished through the integration of convolutional neural networks for feature extraction, image segmentation for precise species isolation, and effective data pooling techniques. Additionally managed and optimized real-time camera trap data, enhancing monitoring efficiency and data reliability.
