Experience

ProActive Security Team

Contributing to an NSF-funded flood early warning system for smart cities.

• Built backend + frontend services (TypeScript, Next.js, tRPC, AWS Lambda) for platform features and data delivery.
• Developed and deployed deep learning + statistical forecasting models to predict real-time flood severity from weather, satellite, and IoT sensor data.
• Co-authored an IEEE CAMA 2025 paper on an unsupervised multimodal statistical framework for flood severity.

Built a secure analytics platform to automate financial document processing and collaboration.

• Developed a secure analytics web platform with React, Flask, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Kubernetes.
• Automated financial document processing for multi-user collaboration, reducing reporting time by 50%.
• Built a document intelligence pipeline integrating OCR (Tesseract) + GPT-4 API for extraction, entity recognition, and anomaly detection.

Built a benchmarking suite and leaderboard to evaluate API-submitted AI models across tasks.

• Developed and integrated a benchmarking suite (Flask, MySQL, React) to evaluate models across web, Q&A, and image classification tasks.
• Built an interactive leaderboard to compare performance consistently across models and datasets.
• Implemented evaluation metrics and integrity safeguards to ensure fair comparisons and prevent metric gaming.

Researching self-driving policy interpretability using reinforcement learning and simulation tooling.

• Built an RL data collection pipeline to study self-driving policy interpretability; engineered a custom driving rig.
• Fine-tuned MetaDrive simulators for replay/control of 10,000+ Waymo scenarios.
• Applied behavioral transformers and adversarial imitation learning residual policies to gather expert-like driving data.

Published deep learning work for large-scale analysis of experimental images + text records.

• Published a psychiatric journal paper on a deep learning pipeline combining CNNs + SBERT.
• Enabled automated analysis of 100,000+ experimental images and text records.
