Senior Programmer Analyst

Johns Hopkins University, Biostatistics, and Neuroscience

• Designed and led a study of whether latent variable models isolate known gene programs in single-cell data. First author; manuscript in preparation.
• Led the computational biology for a companion study applying latent variable models to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) to identify similarities and differences in disease pathology. Second author; manuscript in preparation.

M.S. Student, Bioinformatics

Johns Hopkins University

• Recruited a team of researchers from across the globe to investigate the discordance in metrics used to evaluate perturbation prediction models, resulting in a preprint. Second author; submission in progress.
• Designed a controlled comparison of Wasserstein critics and discriminators to study the tradeoff between removing batch effects and preserving biology in adversarial batch correction for single-cell data. First author; manuscript in preparation.
• Identified that computing energies along a protein diffusion model's reverse diffusion trajectory with trapezoidal integration is a discrete realization of the Stratonovich integral, contributing to a publication on protein energies in diffusion models.
• Built a blended genome-exome polygenic risk score for ketamine response in treatment-resistant depression, in collaboration with the Broad Institute. First author; under review.

Programmer Analyst

Johns Hopkins University, Department of Epidemiology

• Contributed to an agent-based simulation library for HIV population dynamics using Dask.
• Co-authored a study that used this library to forecast the effect of a BMI maintenance intervention on diabetes risk.
• Led the interpretability analysis for a study of virologic failure in people with HIV, investigating whether a linear Cox model and a nonlinear deep survival network identified the same influential risk factors. Third author; manuscript in preparation.

Research Assistant, Orthopedic Surgery

Children's National Hospital

• Directed longitudinal data collection for an industry-sponsored clinical trial in a rare skeletal dysplasia.

Co-Founder; Data Scientist, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing

Productivity Industries

• Built the company's document-parsing system: multimodal models combining computer vision and natural language processing to predict the reading order of unstructured text in PDF documents.
• Built the continuous-integration infrastructure for training, evaluating, and deploying the models.

Data Scientist, Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence

Iunu

First Data Scientist at a small company. Built the team up to 6 data scientists and engineers.

• Built AI-based control systems for greenhouse temperature, water and light.
• Developed a deep learning pipeline that measured plant material in multispectral images and predicted yield from image time series.
• Trained convolutional networks to identify plant disease and alert growers prior to plant loss.
