I operate in my role at Spectrum (Charter Communications) as a full stack developer, building and maintaining the frontend and backend of internal company tools that automate the design and post-installation configuration of network equipment. My role also involves collaborating closely with field technicians and network engineers, gathering feature requirements, and refining user experience.

The main project I am responsible for involves automatically configuring Cisco Meraki equipment after it is installed. This product has installed over 15 thousand devices at over 7000 locations across the country. Each automation instance saves approximately $100 and 2 hours in labor, which allows technicians to be more efficient with their time and perform more installs per day.

Technologies: Python, Django, ReactJS, Angular, Flask
Impact: > $500K Automation Savings

As an undergraduate researcher, I used machine learning approaches to address complex computer vision and object detection problems. I worked on projects in maritime activity detection—identifying and classifying small boat activity—and object search, indexing, and retrieval, focusing on extracting visual features and improving storage and retrieval methods. I also assisted other research students and communicated findings to colleagues and supervisors. My work on maritime activity detection was published in an IEEE paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9671274.

Meanwhile, as a class grader for the Machine Learning 4347 class, I was responsible for evaluating coursework and providing timely feedback for approximately 65 students. I also supported the instructor and teaching assistant by creating and managing GitHub repositories and assisting with course planning.
