Goal:

To obtain a full-time position in engineering or analytics.

Education:

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY Exp. May, 2013

BS Industrial and Systems Engineering GPA: 3.19

Skills & Education Highlights:

Data Analysis and Modeling

o Design of Experiments

o Quality Control (using Minitab)

o Discrete Event Simulation (using ARENA)

o Statistical Analysis (R)

o Programming for Engineers using MATLAB

o Information Systems (Microsoft Access/VBA)

As part of a senior project, I developed a machine shop equipment scheduling application for a machine

shop in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Management at the machine shop was so impressed with the application

that they have asked to license the application for their day-to-day use.

I worked on a senior design project sponsored by the Albany Guardian Society to develop a system for

assessing an individual’s risk for falling by analyzing accelerometer data streamed from a smartphone. We

were able to incorporate two analytical techniques to analyze walking data which provide measures for

assessing balance. I also modified vocal recognition algorithms to accommodate continuous streaming of

accelerometer for a more robust and user-friendly design.

Worked on one of my Professor’s research projects to develop a prototype predictive model for the NY

Giants. The model was designed to help coaches identify success factors in the Combine to predict the

future performance of players. I helped analyze data and develop parts of the model that pertained to

predicting the performance of quarterbacks and wide receivers.
