    • Worked with Virufy to achieve goals of improving the accuracy of their machine learning algorithm and creating a tool that increased the efficiency of their audio annotations. • Used Python to achieve an accuracy of 76% on identifying COVID-19 positive cough samples with our model using audio classification packages as well as different machine learning libraries (TensorFlow/PyTorch). • Used React as well as other JavaScript tools to develop a UI that sped up the process of annotating 2000 cough samples by 2 hours. Left Virufy with the start of a tool that automates this annotation process, potentially saving the remainder of time. • Finalist for the Innovation award at that year’s Capstone awards.
