I have experience in both the theory and application of data science and machine learning techniques. I have also taken graduate classes in quantum algorithms. My hobbies include exploring systematic trading and music theory.

Malicious Message Clustering
Proofpoint is a security company based in Sunnyvale, California that provides software
as a service and products for inbound email security, outbound data loss prevention,
social media, mobile devices, digital risk, email encryption, electronic discovery, and
email archiving. Our team focused on building an unsupervised retrieval framework using
metadata associated with spamtrap messages to identify malicious emails of the same
attack campaign.

Sheet Music Identification Using Measure-Based CNN Features
We presented a method for identifying a scanned page of sheet music by finding a match
in a database of known musical scores.
Our algorithm segments a page of sheet music into individual bars, extracts features
from each bar using a pre-trained convolutional neural network with generalized- mean
pooling, and then compares each bar feature vector in the query to the bar feature
vectors in the database to determine the best match.
To evaluate our method, we introduced a dataset containing 2,500 images of scanned piano
music scraped from IMSLP.

Identification of Individuals from Smartphone Data
We designed and implemented an algorithm that identified individuals
from smartphone accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope data as a team of four.
To do this we implemented functional PCA on the scipy spline class in python. We also
implemented and fine tuned an algorithm to generate synthetic gyroscope data
from accelerometer and magnetometer data.

Stock Prediction Using Natural Language Processing on Earnings Calls
Designed and refined a NLP and Neural Net pipeline to scrape earnings calls and classify
them as positive or negative for stock prediction over the period of a month.
