Backend has been my bread and butter for the past 3 years. However, at such an early stage of my career, I'd like to think of myself as an intermediate Swiss Army Knife like developer who dabbled in front-end, cloud computing and infrastructure, database management, theoretical optimization, and ML & data engineering. This is an overview of my current skills:
Python (Expert)
Java, C, Go (Proficient)
HTML & CSS
Java/Typescript
SQL
PostgreSQL, MongoDB
PyTorch, Scikit-learn
NumPy, Pandas
JUnit, UnitTest, GoTest
Matplotlib
Docker & Kubernetes
Linux/Unix & Shell Scripting
Terraform & Vault
REST APIs
Git
Listed below are some of the most representative projects I've worked on. They touch on multiple fields of computer science and range from basic software & hardware integration projects to advanced convex optimization algorithms and their applications in trading strategies
StudyBuddy: A comprehensive personal assistant that streamlines your academic life. From organizing your directories and automating Google searches to setting up keyword alerts, reminders, generating citations, and shortening links, StudyBuddy is your all-in-one study companion. details
Health-Monitor: A heart rate sensor that measures BPM and SPO2 and a temperature and humidity sensor. All data are displayed on the TFT touchscreen. details
Data Driven Emotions Prediction: A machine learning project aimed at classifying emotions in speech using SVM, CNN, and GMM, encompassing extensive processes of feature extraction, preprocessing, and model validation. details
AlphaCraft: An advanced machine learning-driven system designed to transcend traditional value and momentum investing strategies. By leveraging state-of-the-art reinforcement learning techniques, it optimizes portfolio management, delivering predictive insights with unmatched accuracy. details
Algorithmic Variants of Frank-Wolfe for Convolutional Neural Network Pruning: A thesis that explores the effectiveness of various Frank-Wolfe algorithm variants for pruning large convolutional neural networks, inspired by the "Lottery Ticket Hypothesis." The results show that using a momentum-based Frank-Wolfe approach on the MNIST dataset yields a sparser model with improved accuracy compared to the original network and other pruning methods. details
Predictive Modeling of Homelessness Risk Factors in Women and Children: A study that employs logistic regression and random forests to identify and predict key factors contributing to homelessness among women and children. By analyzing these predictors, the model aims to inform targeted interventions and improve support services. details
