EDUCATION

B.S May 2021 University of Maryland, College Park Ø Major: Computer Science Minor: Technology Entrepreneurship Ø Awards: Semester Honors 2018, OMSE Academic Excellence Award 2019, Member of ALD Honor Society EXPERIENCE

Software Engineer Intern Textron Systems June 2020 – August 2020 Ø Collaborated with a team of 7 to configure, install, and test the simulator for the Unmanned Boat project, this Ø involved Programmed working in C++ with to modify inter-departmental the boat’s ‘winch’ teams. software to allow for multiple parameters in its GUI. Ø Assembled the simulator’s hardware interface and software for multiple environments. Ø Prepared documentation for the complete simulation process. PROJECTS

Image Classifier

Ø Constructed a convolutional neural network for image recognition on a set of images using Python. Ø Implemented the design by utilizing Keras, Tensorflow, and Matplotlib libraries on Google Colab. Ø Trained the network with a dataset from Kaggle with 82% validation accuracy for a random test set. Ø Enhanced the neural network to 88% validation accuracy with dynamic filters. Maze Search

Ø Designed an experiment to test the search speed of various search algorithms for solving a maze. Ø Implemented Depth first search, Breadth first search, and Dijkstra’s algorithm using Java for the test. Ø Represented the randomly generated maze using a graph data structure and a priority queue. Ø Visualized the experiment using Java GUI which allowed for variable parameters. ATM Security Enhancement

Ø Designed high secure encryption algorithms to protect against cyber-attacks. Ø Incorporated whitelisting and blacklisting methods to prevent buffer overflows and SQL attacks. Ø Developed in C, incorporating OpenSSL to enable signal encryption with hashing between ATM and the bank. Ø Refined the code with iterative testing on multiple software platforms.
