Objective

Seeking a full-time, entry-level position related to data science, machine learning, data analysis, or quantitative development. Education

Boston University College of Engineering, Boston, MA MS in Electrical Engineering, 3.4/4.0 GPA May 2017 Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences, Camden, NJ BA in Philosophy, Economics, Honors College graduate, Sybil S. Cohen Award, 3.6/4.0 GPA May 2013 Highlighted Projects

• Autonomous driving with remote monitoring and control Components included a crawler, several Arduinos, Raspberry Pi, Wi-Fi antennas, multiple IR sensors, KNN localization using RSSI with real-time visualization, first-person video streaming, remote control to permit course corrections. Coded in Node.js, Python and Arduino.

• BSS for audio and image data using ICA and NNMF

Implemented independent component analysis and non-negative matrix factorization algorithms to solve the determined blind signal separation “cocktail party” problem on both mixed audio and image data.

• Handwashing detection system using image processing techniques In collaboration with UNICEF Ghana and Emerson College, developed Bash/Python/Matlab/FFmpeg scripts to clean and analyze a large amount of video data, then developed a Matlab GUI and algorithm to detect the occurrence of soap usage in these videos

• Wireless multi-node weather sensor system with web front-end Data collection using a network of wireless sensors, data management using MongoDB, node.js server, web front- end with data visualization and remote access

• Verilog HDL design and verification of multicycle CPU Multi-cycle CPU and memory modules for MIPS ISA designed in Verilog using Xilinx ISE

• Multi-database cache sync application for search query autocomplete Designed in C++ using Qt including basic network programming with efficient data management using bloom filter and trie data structures

• Embedded Bluetooth KNN positioning system

Indoor localization using Gumstix COM base station with LCD GUI designed in Qt, iBeacon RSSI positioning with Bluetooth file transfer
