Journey
Champions Oncology
Feb 2020 - Current
At champions, I started out as a consultant in February of 2020, and came on full time in July where I quickly gained the trust of my collegues by taking on Champions' largest software projects.
I've been lucky to play a major role in developing Lumin Bioinformatics, the largest growing product Champions has ever offered. Lumin is a SAAS product that provides bioinformaticists with the tools necessary to get a deeper understanding of tumor cell biology by allowing user to visualize and run analysis on Champions' propeitery data or their own. A large part of my time is now spent on upkeep. Some of my daily tasts include: updating our APIs/datasets, and developing new features and D3 visualizations
Georgia Tech
August 2019 - Current
Georgia Tech presented me with the oppurtunity to attain a Masters in Computer Science with a specialization in Machine Learning. Since starting this program, I have been challenged in ways that I have never been before. Lots of nights have been spent awake to say the least, however this experience has so far been extremely rewarding.
I'm expecting to graduate in at the end of 2021. So far, my new skills have already served me where I currently work, and I can't wait to keep expanding my knowledge, and contribute in the machine learning world.
CUNY Baruch
Graduated, bachelors in Math/Physics 2017
My main takeaway from Baruch was the ability to condense complex problems into simple and elegent solutions. I realized that gaining a solid intution for complexity is simply a product of hard work. During this time I've also helped hundrends of fellow students achieve their academic goals both as a tutor and adjunct lecturer, and entered the student academic consulting center 'hall of fame'
During this time I've also started my own venture, a portable coffee maker, with the help of the CUNY startup accelerator, where I recieved a first round investment seed of $5000. That, along with my experience of starting my own tutoring company has showed me my love for innovation and creativity that can be achieved with a wealth of inspiring people that I was surrounded with.
Projects
Tutor Dashboard
Developed a full stack tutoring management dashboard for my former tutoring buisness in order to manage lessons, locations, student levels and everything associated with the lessons. In the future I'd like to add the ability to store lessons, and associated files in AWS S3 buckets associated to each client, along with the ability for clients to access those files in a user facing frontend
Tech used: React, google firebase, MongoDB, Node.js, express.js
ML trader
Worked in a team to build an ARIMA based price prediction model for the top 200 most popular stocks. The single page application allows users to view and predict stock prices with the power of big data and machine learning. Once predicted, the stock goes into a 3 level client side alert system that provides the user with feedback based off how the real stock price vs the predicted price is doing.
Tech used: React, Flask, MySQL, AWS lambda
