About

Senior Solutions Engineer at Databricks. ML infrastructure nerd. Founder of a tech community with 6,000+ engineers across 10+ countries. And your most honest friend in tech. I started Your Best Friend in Tech after realizing most early-career engineers are studying LeetCode the same broken way I wasm random problems, no structure, maximum panic. A competitive programmer showed me there's a system. I landed multiple offers. One startup created a role just for me. Now I help early-career engineers do the same, without needing a competitive programmer in their personal life. Every other Thursday I send LeetCode patterns, interview strategies, and real career advice for engineers trying to break in. Subscribe free: https://denisse.beehiiv.com

  • Fung Excellence Scholarship Recipient
  • Relevant Coursework: Parallel Computing, Experimental Design for Machine Learning on Multimedia Data
  • Relevant Projects:
  • Political Inclination Prediction Model
  • Developed a Logistic Regression model using Scikit learn with a 98.3% accuracy that predicted the political inclination of all of the U.S. counties based on COVID-19 hygiene habits. Used PCA and Correlation Matrix to determine the most relevant variables.
  • Analysis Neural Network Models for Chromatin Feature Prediction
  • Analyzed the DanQ model that predicts chromatin features directly from raw DNA sequence. Calculated the Memory Equivalent Capacity of the model. Trained the model for generalization, which identified that a vanilla neural network differed only by 2% of accuracy from the original model that contained a CNN and a bidirectional LSTM.
