Old Dominion University

Graduate Teaching and Research Assistant
Advisor: Dr. Jian Wu
August 2019 -- Present
  • Assisting and mentoring students with coursework, homework, and semester project for Computer Science courses including Machine Learning, Web Programming, and Computer Architecture.
  • Assisting students with their semester project on search engine development for CS418/518 -- Web Programming. The main objective of this course is to educate students on the LAMP environment: Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP.
  • Collaborating with Virginia Tech for the grant from IMLS on mining book length scanned documents such as Electronic These and Dissertations using machine learning and deep learning techniques.
  • Publishing research work in top conference such as ACM/IEEE conference proceedings.

Bihrle Applied Research Inc

Machine Learnign Intern
June 2021 -- August 2021
  • Contributed to a project (i.e., BNSF Railway and FAA’s Pathfinder Program) to study and develop technologies for drone-based supplemental inspection of railway infrastructure.
  • Developed and enhanced algorithms for train detection used by Rail-Inspector – a cloud-based software that process aerial imagery of railroad tracks using machine learning and deep learning.
  • Built ground truth by labeling images for trains, used deep Learning model such as Fully Convolutional Network for segmentation, analyzed, and optimized the result.
  • Implemented deep neural nets such as LeNET-CNN to train 82 classes of math symbols.
  • Achieved an accuracy of 96% for detecting trains on railway and helped partial implementation of the segmentation model in the production cycle.

Los Alamos National Laboratory

Research Intern
June 2020 -- August 2020
  • Researched on Offline Handwritten Mathematical Expression (HME) Recognition.
  • Preprocessed math expressions image datasets such as rendering online images to offline, blurring, segmenting, and binary thresholding.
  • Built a basic framework/pipeline for offline HME recognition and employed computer vision techniques for feature extraction -- contorur extraction and skeletonization.
  • Implemented deep neural nets such as LeNET-CNN to train 82 classes of math symbols.
  • Analyzed, visualized, and optimized the model to get the best performance model.

Resource9 Group, Inc.

Application Performance Engineer (AppDynamcis)
May 2018 -- June 2019
  • Analyzed captured snapshots by drilling down the full call stack and gaining code-level visibility to understand the root causes of the problem.
  • Created health rules, policies, and alerts on the tier or node level to remediate any severe slowdown in the application.
  • Identified the anomalies based on key performance metrics (KPIs) when threshold values exceeded.
  • Used AppDynamics out of the box feature such as Development Level Monitoring.
  • Configured POJO and POCO entry points for the business transactions which were not automatically detected.
  • Identified hardware-level issues, such as memory leak detection, garbage collection, heap utilization, and thread contention.
  • Followed AppDynamics best practices while educating the customers about using AppD special features such as Service End Point, Information Point (Code Metrics & Custom Metrics), Data Collectors (MIDC & HTTP).
  • Integrated agents such as app agents, machine agents, analytics agent, DB agent, and EUM agent with the application.
  • Analyzed log files such as Agent logs, BT logs, REST API logs, ByteCodeTransformation log for identifying the problems.

Elizabethtown College

Summer Research Internship -- Data Analyst
Etown Means Business: Relationship Building in Higher Education
June 2017 -- August 2017
  • Researched relationship of companies and organizations, and analyzed their previous engagement with Elizabethtown College.
  • Identified duplicate records using SQL, updated, and modified inconsistent data in the database.
  • Optimized the relational data from the college database and analyzed it to predict the variable to understand philanthropy resources through various programs.
  • Applied machine learning models such as Multiple Linear Regression and Backward Elimination to predict the variables.
Database Assistant
Intitutional Advancement
January 2017 -- May 2018
  • Used Jenzabar Ex for updating and creating relationships, salutations, and new records for potential donors and Alumni.
  • Identified duplicate records to clean unnecessary data and avoid data inconsistency.
  • Assisted pulling out records using SQL.
  • Created new records for individuals or organizations who wanted to receive newsletter emails.
Teaching Assistant / Grader
Department of Computer Science
Superviosr: Dr. Joseph T. Wunderlich
August 2016 -- May 2018
