Resume
Education
- B.S. in Computer Science, Vanderbilt University.
- M.S. in Computer Science, Georgia Institute of Technology. Specialization: ML.
Work experience
- August 2023 - Current: Software Engineer Intern @ Capital One
- Built a distributed orchestration system to decide 2+ million credit card applications per month using Go & AWS (DynamoDB, State Machine, Lambda, Fargate, EC2).
- Successfully led the migration of three high-transaction microservices, averaging 2 million transactions per month, from AWS ECS EC2 to Fargate. This strategic move eliminated the need to manage the underlying operating system, resulting in annual savings of $20,000 and a significant reduction of 800 engineering hours.
- Led development of automated end-to-end testing suite, resulting in annual savings of 2,400 engineering hours.
- Summer 2022: Software Engineer Intern @ Capital One
- Designed and implemented an internal REST API using AWS Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, and API Gateway
- Built a CI/CD pipeline with Jenkins and AWS CloudFormation
- August 2020 - December 2022: Research Assistant @ Biomedical Data Representation and Learning Lab
- Invented novel machine learning algorithms for biomedical image analysis resulting in 2 first-author publications.
- Trained >500 models across >20 deep learning algorithms using Python, PyTorch, Linux, and Docker.
