Masters of Science

Bachelor of Science (B.S.)

- Rearchitecting Twitter Trends infrastructure to support a richer definition of trends.

- Led a HackWeek team to develop the first version of video carousels. Released to the home timeline with 321k device_ads_monetizeable_engagements and $26.8k device ads revenue generated in an experiment to 12M users. Annualized impact of $13.4M increased ad revenue.

- Designed, developed, and shipped 5 key Interests and Onboarding products, resulting in +374k
core_favorites, +93.8k monetizable DAU, and +12.5k user follows.

- Implemented a replacement for a Spark ETL process used to join full flight data with NASA
weather information. Improved performance by three orders of magnitude from ~1000 minutes to 100 seconds by removing spark overhead and using a KDTree.

- Rearchitected a python rare event detection library to provide 10x speed up for faster model inference to detect engine failures. Predicted 18 engine malfunctions at 94% recall leading to $54M in cost savings.

Software Engineer

- Lead Developer on Automated Training of Models team (AToM).

- Prototyped and implemented a cloud-based fraud detection classifier from carrier and call occurrence metadata of 250M+ calls. Approximately $50,000 in monthly savings over existing classifier cloud architecture. Technologies used: Pandas, Sklearn, PySpark, Docker, Asyncio.

- Developed a Research Dashboard to visualize model performance. Developed with Python and Datadog. Approximately 5,000 annual hours (~$250,000) of Research Scientist time saved.

Research Engineer

- Led a team of researchers and software engineers to build an information retrieval engine to help
MOOC instructors manage large courses by identifying and answering duplicate questions.

- Built an AWS cloud-native API to host NLP models for 1000 concurrent users using Lambda, OpenSearch, API Gateway, and Cloudwatch.

- PARQR correctly recommends a relevant post, if one exists, 73.5% of the time, and it has reduced duplicate posts in an Artificial Intelligence course at Georgia Tech by 40%.

- Published in Learning@Scale 2019 & 2020.
