About Me
👋 Welcome to my Personal Website! I am a senior Computer Science student at the University of Texas at Austin with a
passion in data science, software engineering, and healthcare. Working at the unique
intersection of tech and medicine has allowed me to gain valuable experiences with
people and computers not-alike!
Experience & Academics
Capital One TIP Intern
- Developed an ML monitoring software to help identify traffic flow anomalies for the FS Dealer Data Pipeline
- Increased the efficiency of detecting Snowflake table anomaly updates by caching ETL files on table metadata. Optimized pipeline to query 20% less data, reducing compute costs
- Developed a pipeline monitoring applicaiton hosted on Docker and deployed via AWS ECS, utilizing Lambda triggers for lifecycle management
- Developed an internal tool for ML workflow trigger to initiate HTTP/S events for cloud triggers on AWS
Bioinformatics Teaching Assistant
- Assisted the Computational Biology resarch stream by teaching students on concepts of gene expression analysis and protein network interactions
- Developed curriculum for genome sequencing and Python applications to analyzing RNA-seq datasets
Computational Biology Research Fellowship
- Analyzed gene expression levels on sc-RNAseq datasets to identify cancer stem cells in pancreatic tissue samples for early stage PDAC
- Performed graph-based clustering techniques and identified key cell populations that trigger gene pathways related to ALDH genes for novel drug targets
- Worked alongside Dell Medical School researchers to sequence patient DNA and map genes to expression level targets
Projects
aws_deploy
A flexible tool to maintain and deploy your AWS architectures
friscohospitalnetwork.org
- Developed a website and presented it to Cook's Children hospital administration to potentially connect 10+ clinics
- Built the website with React and Firebase, and will continue to build on the project in later stages (Fa 2024)
- Collaborated with Cook Children hospital admin for project approval to enable donations to Frisco clinics
- Future revisions of the project will be using the aws_deploy framework!
OrangeAI
A smart mobile app that utilizes a convolutional neural net model to identify and track
your food intake. Track your calories and health metrics with a helpful AI assistant, Orby!
