Experience

Site Reliability Engineer Intern

Receive on the job training in the aspects of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). Applied agile principles to plan and deliver software. Used Jira and Confluence to track progress.Utilized Git and Bitbucket to manage source code, with changes being promoted from test to production.Automated complex tasks such as updating and deploying applications using Harness. Monitor and managed Docker containers across multiple servers using SaltStack and bash scripting.

Undergraduate Researcher

Researched quantum computing and its applications to machine learning. Explored and evaluated the benefits of quantum phenomenon in classical machine learning. Investigated autonomous software for drones to solve critical issues related to perception, planning, and control.

Computer Vision Engineer

Developed a deep learning model for satellite detection and tracking. Collaborated with engineers of diverse backgrounds to design and build a satellite prototype.

Projects

Docker Monitor

Developed a Bash script to check the status of Docker containers on production servers using SaltStack. Implemented a bamboo cronjob to automate the execution of the bash script. Sent alerts to the team about outages and automatically fixed bad containers.

Quantum Machine Learning

Explored integrating quantum features to take advantage of quantum phenomenon with limited hardware.Optimized the compression of classical data using superposition for use in a neural network. Integrated quantum regression layers into a classical neural network.

Speechify App

Won 1st place People's Choice Award at Bitcamp 2023 hackathon. Developed a mobile OCR application that extracts text from images and converts it to speech.Developed Flask RESTful API, utilizing OpenCV for image preprocessing and Tesseract for OCR
