About Me

Being simultaneously a relational person and an introvert, I’ve been described as a trained extrovert. I’m passionate about learning, experimenting, and continually searching for ways technology can benefit the people around me, all of which are enabled by my self-diagnosed toxic trait of changing calendar/productivity apps every other week.

Projects

Business Applications for Deep Learning Models

MIS 548 - Deep Learning

Conducted research on existing uses of ML/DL in Time Series Anomaly Detection (TSAD), implemented a promising model on BETH dataset to gauge it’s effectiveness in kernel level TSAD. It performed well given the size of the dataset, but due to the computational complexity of the model it wouldn’t be a practical solution for real-time TSAD.

Side Quest Repository

Personal Project

As I accumulated a list of topics I wanted to learn more about, but didn’t have time in the moment to properly reseach, I decided to create a program I could feed a term, topic, or title, and have it cycle through a series of GPT prompts to go from initial idea to a contextually grounded overview of the topic.

Web Based Database Application

MIS 531 - Enterprise Data Management

Designed and implemented a web based database application capable of supporting day-to-day business operations and decision making.

MLOps as a Service

MIS 547 - Cloud Computing

Archetyped a MLOps as a Service using offerings from AWS, and created end-to-end implementation strategy.

Fake News Detection with LLMs

MIS 529 - Deception Detection

Wrote script to leverage GPT-3 API to detect fake news in articles from the LIAR dataset.
