KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS

* Conducted independent research in numerical analysis, differential equations, modeling, and applied

mathematics, assessing and analyzing research topics, choosing appropriate tools/techniques to gain

insight, and using communication skills to present or publish in peer-reviewed journals new results in

field.

* Provided consulting services to trading firm. Private tutor in probability/statistics, stochastic calculus,

financial data analysis, and management science for Financial Mathematics Masters’ candidate.

Expanded knowledge in database technologies. Completed Coursera.org and Venture-Lab courses in

computational finance and investing, data analysis, financial engineering, and finance.

* Contributed to image processing research project on pulmonary nodules by developing a database to

store data as well as deriving information for radiologist’s reading from MATLAB evolved data.

* Executed all phases of high quality software development process including requirements, design,

coding, white box testing, deliverable (functional testing), regression, integration, performance, stress,

and acceptance testing of a high reliability communications software product. Reduced development

cycle for assigned component of project without compromising quality requirements.

* Collaborated successfully with software development and quality assurance engineers in multi-

component projects, to ensure compatibility, easy integration, and seamless transition between white

box/unit testing and large scale integration testing.
