Computer Scientist (PhD) with a strong theoretical background and diverse practical experience from Software Engineering to Data Science (algorithms, databases, networks, speech processing)
Innovated ways to analyze speech corpora for entrainment, an adaptive behavior in human interaction, using statistical and deep learning methodology (Python: pandas, scipy.stats, pytorch; SQL; R; Praat; openSMILE); Developed framework enabling speech interfaces to acoustically entrain to users (Python; SSML); Designed, implemented, and conducted experiments with dozens of subjects in person and via Amazon Mechanical Turk (Java; JavaScript; SQL) Taught various undergraduate classes for up to 40 students: prepared and gave lectures, held office hours, prepared and graded assignments and exams; Courses: "Introduction to Computer Applications" (three semesters; MS Office: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access), "Analysis of Algorithms" (three semesters), "Multimedia Databases" (one semester; non-relational DB technologies, including MongoDB and Neo4j, and multimedia processing), "Introduction to Programming with C++" (teaching assistant for one semester), Workshops on Python, Git, and LaTeX (two semesters)
Designed, implemented (front & back end), and maintained the following tools for the administration of a high security datacenter: access request tool for over 3,000 users; change management tool for over 1,000 users; provisioning tool for 100s of blade and virtual servers Oversaw software life cycle management for the tools: Managed software deployment from test to stage and production environments; coordinated with stakeholders to realize regular feature updates and bug fixes; oversaw user training Assisted recruitment and oversaw on-boarding of three new software engineers
Collaborated with postdoctoral faculty on decision support tool for agri-environmental programs; Researched, designed, and implemented rasterization algorithms for diverse geographic data
Administered and automated Cisco Content Switch configuration and developed support utility; Monitored anti-virus software, time and name resolution services, and server imaging software
