Work Experience
Five internships and research roles translating business and research problems into data-driven solutions.
Machine Learning Engineer (Intern)
- Built a predictive natural language interface over 200+ real-world datasets: exploratory data analysis, feature selection, and model validation; fine-tuned Qwen2.5-Coder-7B with PEFT/LoRA and built a retrieval pipeline.
- Achieved a 5x performance improvement and 30% reduction in computational overhead; communicated technical tradeoffs to non-technical stakeholders.
Research Assistant
- Applied statistical methods and machine learning to extract actionable insights from complex education datasets: built predictive models, conducted EDA, and developed data pipelines.
- Collaborated with senior researchers to improve analytical workflow efficiency by 80%.
Data Science Intern
- Reviewed and analyzed prior data science work against current company projects, conducted EDA, identified trends and data quality issues, and communicated actionable findings to stakeholders.
Machine Learning Intern
- Built and validated predictive models using a dataset of 200K+ users; conducted feature engineering and statistical analysis on large-scale structured data.
- Ensured data quality and governance throughout the pipeline; reported findings to cross-functional stakeholders.
Blockchain Developer Intern
- Designed and implemented distributed systems using the Cosmos SDK and Golang, built REST API interfaces, and collaborated cross-functionally on system architecture.
Projects
Shipped, hands-on builds outside of coursework and research.
WorkIn: Pose Detection for Workouts
An online exercise-training platform built on PoseNet and p5.js. Real-time webcam posture detection tracks the user's skeleton and starts an on-screen timer only when the correct exercise posture is held, enabling accurate, self-guided personal training.
View on GitHub →VirtuAble: Accessibility Project
A complete accessibility tool that lets visually impaired users control video calls without a keyboard or mouse: an OpenCV real-time hand-gesture pipeline maps gestures to meeting controls (mute, hand-raise) and pairs with speech recognition for audio feedback.
View on GitHub →Neural Style Transfer
An implementation of "A Neural Algorithm of Artistic Style": blends the content of one image with the visual style of another using a pretrained VGG network and gradient-based optimization in TensorFlow.
View on GitHub →Salary Prediction Web App
A machine learning web app that predicts developer salary from country, education level, and years of experience, trained on the Stack Overflow Developer Survey and served through an interactive Streamlit interface.
View on GitHub →Research & Publications
Graduate thesis research and six peer-reviewed papers applying statistical and deep learning methods to real datasets.
