Work Experience
Software Engineer | Emulation Platform
In my role at Bastian Solutions, I am a software product developer working on building warehouse emulation software. I gained experience working with and building technologies such as workflow engines, layout engines, and Unity. I developed skills in writing efficient scalable applications, devops, and databases.
Cofounder | Blockchain Analytics Platform
I built a Blockchain analytics platform and participated in the University of Guelph incubator, receiving over $2000 in grants. Through the AWS Founders Fund, I obtained $1000 in credits and other resources. I was also invited to pitch to a top venture firm in Canada. For the backend, I used TypeScript and Django Python REST API, deploying the application on AWS Elastic Beanstalk to ensure high availability and scalability. Additionally, I implemented a microservices architecture, utilizing EC2 instances for horizontal scaling and increased system resiliency.
ML Engineer | Assistive Feeding Robot
I improved the computer vision system for a robotic assistive feeding device by implementing new algorithms for object detection and recognition, resulting in increased accuracy and reliability. I wrote code in C++ and Python to interact with various robotic drivers, servers, and interfaces, enabling the device to communicate with and control other systems. Additionally, I worked on migrating the system to the Robot Operating System (ROS) platform, streamlining the development process and enhancing the system's performance and scalability.
ML Engineer | ML FEM Tool
I took data about pavement strain, cleaned and prepped it, then used Keras and TensorFlow to write deep neural networks predicting pavement strain. I also wrote Django, HTML, and JavaScript for the frontend components of pavement analysis software. Additionally, I answered a StackOverflow question that received over 36 upvotes and reached more than 100,000 people.
Featured Projects
Fantasy Sports Tool
I built and sold a fantasy sports tool with a TypeScript React frontend and Django backend. I implemented Auth0 for authentication and token refresh, connected to the Yahoo Fantasy Sports API, and hosted the tool on AWS using Secrets Manager, AWS Amplify, Elastic Beanstalk, RDS, and AWS CLI.
