I am a senior at Pomona College studying Computer Science! Outside my major, I love learning about political philosophy (Plato, Hobbes, Locke) and genetics (ethics, CRISPR, big data genomics). I am the captain of the Claremont Colleges Ultimate Frisbee Team and I like to climb both rocks and trees in my spare time!
Neural Networks project where I worked with two classmates to use reinforcement learning algorithms to teach an agent how to play screen snake. Using Open AI Gym, we experimented with various algorithms, reward structures, and game representations. By the end of the semester, our snake could reach a high score of 23 on a 5x5 board (max possible score is 25) in just 4 hours of training.
CodeTranslate is a one-stop site where developers can quickly ramp up in a new coding language. Working with two other Google interns, we developed a web application to translate between Python, JavaScript, Java, and Bash. I was personally responsible for implementing automatic language detection, variable declarations, error handling, arrays, conditionals, and loops.
Lead developer for databases class group project. GradTracks is a tool that allows students to see what previous alumni have done after graduating. Built database, backend and frontend that quickly processed queries and displayed data visualizations.
React.js web app for high school students that generates personalized recommendations based on inputted preferences. Pulled data from U.S. Dept of Education's API into a Flask-RESTful backend that uses python and pandas to filter, clean and email spreadsheets to students.
For the final project of Digital Electronics and Computer Engineering at Harvey Mudd, I built a multicycle RISC-V processor on an FPGA. Involved multiple finite state machines and understanding of microcontroller design from logic gates to the ARM instruction set.
Built a virtual reality game to introduce students to Pomona College's new makerspace. Users can explore the lab, watch videos about the equiptment, try out the 3D printer, and even play a custom beat saber game (VR within VR!).
Designed a system that validates and rolls out updates for over 40 models. Integrated this system into the existing ML infrastructure pipeline. This pipeline is used to rapidly develop and update models that identify fraud.
Launched three module loading strategies, decreasing user interaction latency on Search. Found an unexpected metric regression during an experiment. Worked with the logging team to change their loading infrastructure, improving fidelity and consistency of metrics.
Created pipeline that processes a subset of the 80 terabytes of weekly cellular image data. The pipeline computes and surfaces metrics to a dashboard which is used by the biology team in order to monitor the high throughput system for batch effects.
Part of a collaboration with professors from Claremont Graduate University, Keck Graduate Institute and Pomona College to study the effects of social media on vaccine rhetoric. Built a machine learning classifier to identify tweets as pro/anti-vax.
Developed "Google Translate" for code that uses abstract syntax trees to execute translations across Python, Javascript, Java, and Bash. Presented work at Search Platforms Show & Tell (demo.codetranslate.com).
Led team of three engineers to build an analytics tool for augmented reality app that pulled data from Google BigQuery into an interactive, online dashboard. Scoped product requirements documents using input from sales and managers.
Led weekly mentor sessions to help 30+ students with assignments and labs. Created study material and organized review sessions before exams.
Using Cas9/CRISPR, introduced two MEK missense mutations into human cell lines proving the concept that CRISPR can be used to generate cancer-related gene mutations. Provided lab with MEK mutated cells to help better understand the role of mutants in tumorigenesis. Presented research at a poster presentation at the Zuckerman Research Center.
