Work Experience
Actifio (Waltham, MA office)
Copy-Data virtualization and management, Forbes top 50 most promising company 2013
Platform Engineering Intern June 2015 – August 2015
• Helped create platform that combines numerous API’s and lays a framework for adding new endpoints
and easing future development
• Designed and developed a REST API to perform data virtualization operations
• Developed custom PostgreSQL tool to help catch discrepancies between server versions
• Learned to use REST API, Tomcat, Jersey, PostgreSQL
Alpha-Sense (Helsinki, Finland office)
Specialized search engine for financial professionals, top 100 Red Herring startup
Software Intern June 2014 – August 2014
• Used Apache Solr to check validity and consistency of indexed documents in a search engine
• Improved and tested the natural language processing algorithm used by a search engine to classify
and index documents
• Used multicore machines and Apache Solr’s faceted search to optimize document retrieval algorithms
• Experience working in an international workplace
• Learned to use Maven, Apache Solr, and Hadoop
Semtech Corporation (Irvine Office focusing on Telecomm)
Telecommunications microchips design, development, and fabrication
Engineering Intern May 2013 – August 2013
• Expanded current GPIB instrument platform to allow for control of LAN instruments with consideration
to future platform expansion. Changes were incorporated to user interface to allow for additional
instrumentation
• Embedded SCPI commands into various scripts to communicate with the instruments and to
manipulate Excel spreadsheets
• Enhanced automation scripts of test drivers to utilize additional features provided by new software.
• Assisted in designing and building test racks in order to harness and test different units. Utilized
knowledge and skills in soldering, switches (transfer, multi, RF), switch matrices, addressing, and
thermal coupling
Relevant Projects
• Created an interpreter for Scheme in Python
• Used Hadoop to run MapReduce to solve a game of Connect 4 using a Minimax tree.
• Made a program to find the shortest path between two different locations given a set of locations, roads,
and distances. Presented this path to the user in a way similar to that of a GPS system.
• Created a functional CPU on Logisim that could handle a wide array of operations
• Used vectorization, C libraries, loop unrolling, and parallelization to achieve of a speed-up from 2
GFLOPS to 45 GFLOPS
• Implemented a firewall that implemented rules for different transport and application protocols
• Implemented numerous machine learning algorithms to classify images of digits and classify spam text
• Created a program that was able to morph two faces together into a hybrid face
