Projects at NABWorked in the leading data science team for 1.5 years, contributing to early adoption of the new cloud-based Data Science platform (NDC). Developed and deployed one of the platform's first ML models, while researching NLP capabilities and building proof-of-concept capability initiatives. Completed AWS Solutions Architect certification to deepen cloud expertise.
Projects at VA SciencesOver 3 years at VA Sciences, managed AWS infrastructure and deployed applications with AWS CDK. Built and maintained web and mobile tools with Vue, Express, and Jetpack Compose to support technician workflows — including extending and maintaining the lab reporting system, prototyping air flow reporting tools, building COVID risk calculators, and developing proof-of-concept applications for job management, hospital technician tasks, and more. Also handled various technical tasks, from automating reports to building a small ML model for internal research.
A university capstone project developed by a team of six undergraduate students, in collaboration with a professor and a PhD student.
The project scope included a React web application, a Python CLI tool, and an Express microservice — all working together to implement and demonstrate a case-based reasoning (CBR) algorithm designed by the PhD student. The purpose for this tool was to assist companies determine the ideal cloud platform for their business needs by analyzing and comparing potential solutions.
