Data Scientist
Galaxy.AIData Scientist
Aug. 2018 - Jan. 2019Project 3: Multilabel classification of Big Data. •Performed the complete ETL process for multiple data sources from the client and using NLP, Random forest to create a classifier for the required target. •Improved upon previous results using a machine learning approach. Project 2: Semantic segmentation of a multi class images and videos. •Created and implemented pre-processing and post-processing procedures to improve results. From research using the latest emerging AI concepts. Project 1: Built an image classifier using CNN with a very small data set. •Used an external data set and Multi-task Learning to improve results and exceeded expected baseline accuracy.
Data Science researcher
UCSF Medical CenterData Science researcher
Oct. 2017 - Jul. 2018San Francisco Bay AreaProject 1: Build an ETL pipeline on billions of patient meta data. •The client required extraction of patient data into a SQL format for easy access •Automated data ingestion, converted and cleaned excel files into PostgreSQL. •Improved search time for a patient data from hours and days into seconds. The organization of the data also now allows for further research using ML. Project 2: Predict local failure and grade of a tumor with structured, supervised data using tree-based models. •Goal of this paper was to replicate and surpass the metrics of an already published paper. •Created an Experiment and used Replication, Blocking and randomization to minimize the effects of nuisance factors and allowed to vary factors. •Predicted on the data using feature engineering, imputation and machine learning. •Used random sampling techniques to assure the validity of the results. •Met and exceeded results in previously published papers using the accuracy metric. Project 3: Unstructured Data: Predict local failure and grade of a tumor with unstructured, supervised data using deep learning models •Transformed medical images into machine learning ready data structures. •Implemented prediction model using 2D and 3D Convolutional Neural Networks in Pytorch. •Improved upon the results of the tree based model approach.
Mathematics Professor
Golden West CollegeMathematics Professor
Aug. 2014 - Jun. 2017Huntington Beach, CA• Taught the entire spectrum of lower division math classes, such as multivariate calculus, statistics, and finite math. • Spearheaded On-Course workshop strategies to empower students and create a learning path.
Quantitative Research Analyst
Avalon Risk ManagementQuantitative Research Analyst
Aug. 2008 - Jul. 2010Irvine, CAProject 1: Build an options calculator to simulate option prices in a given time based on market condition. • Used VBA to create the options calculator. • This allowed brokers to quickly input different market conditions and get a price for the option. Project 2: Build a monitoring system that calculated the risk associated with trades made by brokers. • Used statistical techniques such as Anova, t-test, z-test to assess if a trade was considered risky based on a given risk tolerance. • Helped the CTO to assess the risk on all brokers positions much more quickly.
Mathematics Teacher (Mcnichols Learning)
Dyslexia Foundation (ADA)Mathematics Teacher (Mcnichols Learning)
Nov. 2005 - Sep. 2013Newport Beach, CA• Used multi-sensory techniques and alternative approaches to strengthen student’s mastery of subjects: Statistics, Accounting, Calculus and Economics.
