Experience

Co-created an application that revolves around a centralized marketplace for selling student sporting tickets. Streamlined the student-to-student ticket selling process, and generated over $4000 of ticket sales. Programmed the app using React Native in order to easily deploy to iOS and Android.

Key Accomplishments:

  • - Encountered 750+ users during Fall 2019
  • - Collaborated with cross-functional development team members to analyze potential system solutions based on evolving client requirements
  • - Partnered with Texas A&M University’s startup incubator, Engineering Inc., in order to procure investors, mentorship, and a collaborative working environment early on

Founder / App Developer

College Cove

Utilized IMU and BLE data from a smartwatch to perform online change detection and to aid in data collection for activity classifiers. Used Python, NumPy, and Pandas to test many different change detection algorithms, and then implemented the best performing algorithm in Java on an Android smartwatch.

Key Accomplishments:

  • - Analyzed and manipulated large sets of data containingover 1 million data points
  • - Developed an original change detection algorithm based on the accelerometer, gyroscope, and Bluetooth data from an Android smartwatch
  • - Implemented the change detection algorithm on the smartwatch to detect when the user has changed activities, and log the times they were participating in certain activities, resulting in the collection of cleaner training data

Other Projects

I started this website to practice static webpage development using React.js, and to serve as a virtual resume. Ater a bit of research, I settled on using Gatsby for the framework on top of React.js.

I was interested in learning about how to utilize a machine learning algorithm, and came up with the problem of differentiating between different types of dice. I used TensorFlow/Keras in Python, and found a large dataset of different types of dice. I then created a convolutional neural network, and trained it on the dataset.
