The University of Texas at Austin, College of Natural Sciences − Austin, Texas August 2017 - May 2021 Bachelor of Science in Computational Biology, Minor in Computer Science, GPA: 3.31/4.0 SKILLS

Programming Languages (Ordered by Proficiency): Python, R, Java, SQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Swift, C++, C# Technologies: Adminer, Docker, PHP, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLAlchemy, MongoDB, Neo4j, Postman, Bootstrap, Flask, JupyterLab, Pycharm, XCode, VS Code, Google Cloud Platform, GitHub, GitLab, Pandas, .NET, PyMOL, Spring Tool Suite 4, Eclipse PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Software Engineer – Revature LLC June 2021 – present

• Collaborated in a team of four software engineers using GitHub to develop Spring-based applications in Spring Tool Suite 4 in Eclipse using Java.

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE Software Development Intern – VideoPoints LLC June 2020 – August 2020

• Focused on converting the VideoPoints application from an unscalable monolithic kernel written in PHP to a microservice architecture to increase scalability.

• Used Docker to containerize the application, used Adminer to manage the content in the MySQL database, which included users, their personal information, and their uploaded videos, and used Flask as the web framework.

• Wrote the API in Python following the REST API design and used Postman to test the API. PROJECTS

Know Your Quotes – Website for Famous Quotes September 2020 – December 2020

• Developed a website dedicated to memorializing quotes from famous people using dynamic HTML pages, CSS, JavaScript front end verification and PHP script to process form data along with a MySQL database backend for storing registered users and quotes.

• Website features a looping series of quotes on the website homepage, the ability for users to search for quotes and upload their own quotes along with annotated links to pages related to the quote, such as Wikipedia or YouTube videos of the respective quote’s author, and a quote quiz where users can test their knowledge on quotes. Alcohol Consumption vs Life Expectancy – Data Analysis Project September 2020 – December 2020

• Analyzed and visualized the correlation between alcohol consumption and life expectancy using datasets from FiveThirtyEight and Kaggle through data wrangling using R and visualized data using summary statistics generated using dplyr functions, correlation heatmaps and principle component analysis.

• Analyzed and visualized the correlation between alcohol consumption and life expectancy using ANOVA, MANOVA and randomization tests, and predicted interactions and responses of variables using linear and logistic regression models. Pick Me Up – iOS Patient Discharge Application for Hospitals April 2020 – May 2020

• Developed an idea for an app using Python and Swift in XCode which can allow discharged patients to be picked up from the hospital in a way that minimizes contact between people to help reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19 for both the patients and the Hospital staff.

• Database of users and hospital administrators allows login using SQLAlchemy and lets users to submit pick up requests and hospital patients and staff to confirm such pickups. Implemented security features for registration of administrators and users using backend verification/API with medical IDs and photos.

IMDB – Animal Classification & Search Web Application June 2019 − July 2019

• Created a web app hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that emulated the services provided by IMDB. The app classifies and allows the searching of many of the animals found in the animal kingdom.

• GUI and frontend was implemented using Bootstrap and JavaScript, backend was implemented using Python and Flask. Collaborated using GitLab and gained invaluable experience in the fundamentals of large-scale programming and app deployment. RESEARCH

Vertebrate Interactome Mapping (Gene Networks) - Undergraduate Researcher January 2018 – December 2018

• Studied proteins that have been implicated in RNA processing and metabolism and investigated the functions and interactions of novel proteins to map the interactome of the nucleus and used PyMOL modeling software to predict areas and patterns of protein interactions and study the role of specific proteins in RNA processing and gene expression.

• Investigated the RNA-binding motif protein 17 (RBM17 gene) and its product protein (SPF45): where they are found in splicing, what they bind to, and their specific functions, and the consequences of the I316F mutation for the RNA-binding motif protein 10

(RBM 10)
