I currently work at Capital One and graduated the Technology Development Program. I graduated from the University of Maryland with a BS in Computer Science. I was also in the QUEST Honors program where I consulted for a wide range of companies from clothing to aerostructure manufacturing. I am very passionate about exploring ways to best leverage technology to solve real world problems and utilize my experience in computer science and consulting to attack problems from multiple different angles.
Enhanced auto loan risk models in PySpark and R to reduce error rate, cost, and runtime. Led and coordinated a platform migration across multiple teams to leverage new features as well as lower operational costs and improve platform maintainability. Created a data collection and analytics pipeline to generate insights of model performance. Piloted a data validation tool to screen both model input and output data to prevent costly errors
Worked on an effort to modernize our legacy financial core and migrate to the cloud. Delivered features for Batch and Stream components built with Spring Boot and Kafka. Enhanced performance and functional tests as well as proactively identified cyber vulnerabilities. Created a POC for a serverless web app and managed the intern team that completed the project.
Worked as a Full Stack Developer Intern on an Admin Console. Owned all aspects of the development lifecycle from creating UI designs and ERDs to development and testing. Developed custom REST APIs in .NET Core and MySQL as well as added integration with Cloud Costs and Usage APIs from AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Created custom user interfaces and components in Angular using Typescript, HTML, and SCSS. Implemented authentication via LDAPS against Active Directory. Participated in daily scrums and weekly sprint planning meetings.
Middle River Aerostructure Systems has been designing, building, and servicing the world's best aircraft for over seventy years. MRAS uses a third-party offsite warehouse - Pro Warehouse - to help manage their inventory and kit parts for the LEAP-1A engine. My team’s project scope was to expedite the inspection of parts since this process was determined to be one of the root causes for Pro Warehouse’s poor on time delivery rate. Our team made many on site visits to inspect the current state as well as communicate with stakeholders. With this knowledge, we made four recommendations: - Introduce backup suppliers for the most defective part - Implement pick-to-light system for 20% of predicted defective inventory - Inform new hires of most common defects - Investigate relations with the most problematic suppliers After spring break, our initial project scope pivoted to be more quantitative in nature since we had to work remotely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Our team used python to analyze MRAS’ defective parts data to determine which parts and suppliers they should allocate resources towards fixing. We found that MRAS could potentially save upwards of $900,000 if they addressed their most commonly defective part.
I worked as part of the Readiness Team for the Aegis Combat System. I participated in daily scrums and attended biweekly sprint planning meetings. I followed SE requirements and added new features to a Java application. I also fixed bugs as well as conducted unit and integration tests at the secure labs. I also participated in an intern team competition in which we had to create and program a robot that could acquire a target and fire a projectile to intercept it.
