About

I'm currently a full-time engineer looking to broaden my professional network in the fields of Computer Science and Data Science. I am primarily interested in machine learning and how it can be used to improve education and mental health. I'm currently focusing on learning more about natural-language processing and image processing but aim to reach a stronger understanding of machine learning as a whole.

Software Engineering Intern

May 2018Aug 2018 · 3 mos · Mountain View, California

  • Worked as a Software Engineering Intern for Google's Publisher Quality Team
  • Engineered and integrated signals from manual URL reviews & flagging rules into a deep neural network
  • The deep neural network was one that attempted to predict if a certain site was safe to host ads on based on Google AdSense policies
  • Through experimentation and data analysis, I was able to increase the area under the Precision-Recall curve (used as a metric for performance) from 0.285 - 0.354
  • Constructed, unit-tested, and integration-tested a pipeline to reformat manual URL reviews such that they could be easily joined to one of Google Ads' central data structures; this data structure in particular is used for monitoring publisher behavior and content
