SELECTED EMPLOYMENT

AI Researcher & ML Engineer — 2021-2022

TEKsystems @ Meta AI, contract

Working on a prototyping team in Meta AI called FAIR X, I built and trained Transformers for audio, music and NLP modeling tasks. I also worked on Transformer interpretability and controllability projects. Skills: Python, PyTorch, AWS, Transformers, Pandas, NumPy, Docker, FastAPI, data analysis. Independent Software Contractor — 2017-2019

Channel Medsystems

Channel Medsystems brings innovation to the delivery of women's healthcare. As a Software Verification Tester, I performed 100+ software verification protocols and detailed data analysis to provide data for FDA premarket approval submission and enable use of Class II endometrial ablation device in the clinic. Worked cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing and software teams to improve device software, test fixtures and software tools used to perform verification testing. Skills: Verification testing, data analysis. Tools: Voltmeter, power supplies, oscilloscope, pressure tank. Software Engineer (intern), Rigetti Computing — 2018 Through their Quantum Cloud Services platform, Rigetti provides integration of their quantum computers into any public, private or hybrid cloud. As an intern, I implemented a back-propagation (reverse mode differentiation) algorithm in Julia for a symbolic computation package used by in-house researchers to analyze wave equations to aid in chip design. Computer Technician, Bronx Community College — 2013-2017 Solved hardware and software problems for faculty devices. Maintained web-based homework/exam software used by over 500 students each semester; troubleshot software bugs and credential issues for students. EDUCATION
