I am a Master's student in Computer Science doing research in Information Retrieval and my interests are in machine learning and artificial intelligence. I have had internships at Google, Travelocity, Cisco Systems, Heartland Payment Systems and Rockwell Collins. Skills: Java, Python, C, C#, C++, Ada, MySQL, object oriented programming, and algorithm design

Software Engineer @ From August 2015 to Present (5 months) Graduate Research Assistant @ Working under Dr. Matthew Lease, I investigate the creation of evaluation datasets for information retrieval system minimally with the use of crowdsourcing. In our current project we study how techniques such as sampling or active learning are affected by noisy judgements introduced by the crowds. Since such techniques empower a small subset of judgements, the effect on the ranking of systems and estimator metrics are unknown. From August 2013 to September 2015 (2 years 2 months) Austin, Texas AreaCollege Intern @ Designed and developed an internal tool for advertising deal debugging in Python. The tool consolidates data from various sources in order to provide a meaningful yet user friendly snapshot of the state of the deal. In addition, the tool troubleshoots some of the typical problems in deal configurations. Moreover, the tool's modular design allows integration into other tools and fast development of new features. From May 2014 to August 2014 (4 months) Greater New York City AreaCollege Intern @ Developed, in a team competition, a sentiment analyzer tool to match Tweets to flight data. This tool uses the following technologies: Google Places API, Alchemy API, Tweeter API, Hibernate, MySQL, Twitter Bootstrap and JQuery. Moreover, I developed an internal tool using Spring Roo, JQuery and MySQL to facilitate managing legacy bookings for a new Travelocity partner. In addition, I did code reviews and fixed bugs in production code. From May 2013 to August 2013 (4 months) College Intern @ Develop an internal tool using Groovy and Grails (a high-productivity web framework that uses Java's Hibernate and Spring technologies). This tool replaced a tedious, error-prone, process and will serve as the first step in a series of projects that will facilitate the development process at Cisco. The tool consists of a RESTful web API that persists its data in a MySQL database. This API is then used by a CLI client coded in Java, a browser, and potentially an IDE. From June 2012 to August 2012 (3 months) Security intern @ Learned C# to develop a program that deletes or encrypts files containing sensitive data to comply with PCI-DSS standards; assisted other interns; assessed the alerts generated by the DLP agents in the network; performed document updates; analyzed data like physical security results; and verified that hiring & termination procedures were followed properly. All the code developed was analyzed by vulnerability scanning software. From June 2011 to August 2011 (3 months) Dallas/Fort Worth AreaEngineering co-op @ Learned Ada and C++ to develop a program that controls a radio product; the program was a prototype to demonstrate the feasibility of the project and would be used as its foundation. From June 2010 to August 2010 (3 months) Dallas/Fort Worth Area
