Work

Machine Learning Engineer

Balbix
I am currently a Machine Learning Engineer at Balbix where I am developing deep learning algorithms for statistical modeling of enterprise cybersecurity risk within a confidential project environment. I am applying AI-supported data-mining techniques to address modeling, recommendation, and threat detection.

AI/ML Intern

Balbix
As a summer intern at Balbix, I designed a highly efficient and scalable graph database using Neo4j that allows clients to consolidate and visualize data from 30,000+ companies and approximately 201,000 potential cyber-attacks and breaches. I further reduced the existing identification time for potential risks by 60% and implemented a feature to provide recommendations for prevention methods at runtime for an asset. At the end, I containerized the database using Kubernetes to automate graph updates and reformations, and reduced dashboard-server latency and query time by 54%.

Go-Grad automates the process of new grad job hunting using web scraping and programmable communication tools. It scrapes over 10 GitHub repositories containing job postings using Selenium and periodically monitors updates. It then communicates with Twilio's SMS API to alert user by text when new postings are released.

Portfolio Website | HTML, CSS, Javascript
This website is a second iteration and is made primarily using HTML, CSS, and Javascript to present my skills and qualifications along with my journey as a software engineer. I aimed to design a clean and visually apppealing interface to effectively communicate my experiences. I utilized CSS for styling and animation to enhance the overall user experience.

Dev-Has-Data | Javascript
DevHasData is a Microsoft Azure Cloud hosted bot authenticated by OAuth2 that communicates with Discord's REST API and is used by over 300 users. It uses Node-Fetch to access the university directory in order to assist students in accessing information (major, e-mail) about their fellow classmates.
