Software Engineer @ Was one of two original members of the Interest team where I designed, implemented, and maintained the pipeline used the generate one of the world's largest, most detailed, and most complex set of user interests. From April 2013 to Present (2 years 7 months) CS124 (Natural Language Processing) Head TA @ From January 2013 to Present (2 years 10 months) Student @ From September 2007 to March 2013 (5 years 7 months) Stanford, CACS224N (Natural Language Processing) Head TA @ From September 2012 to January 2013 (5 months) Stanford, CASoftware Engineering Intern @ - Worked on the Android/Mobile team - Created first working prototype of a confidential new application which involved writing backend PHP code for creating a new Facebook Query Language query type and front end code for displaying results on Android devices. Conceptualized and designed all components of the new application. - Rewrote backend for posting new statuses to utilize a queue and serialize requests in order to avoid race conditions. - Wrote code for detecting errors in Facebook for Android and designed and implemented new error views. From June 2012 to September 2012 (4 months) Menlo ParkCS161 (Algorithms) TA @ - Graded assignments for undergraduate algorithms class - Held weekly office hours and taught section From March 2012 to June 2012 (4 months) Research Assistant - Koller Lab @ - Wrote an expectation maximization algorithm that predicts regulatory networks using eQTL and SNP data. Method provides a novel way to calculate and incorporate activity levels of transcription factors into regulatory networks and gives equal performance (within 0.5% of explained variance on test set data) to current best methods. - Created databases and scripts for accessing and manipulating data from the 1000 Genomes and HapMap projects. From June 2011 to June 2012 (1 year 1 month) Stanford, CACS124 (Natural Language Processing) TA @ - Wrote and graded assignments for undergraduate level natural language processing courses. - Created exercises and helped developed infrastructure to allow the course to be made public to over 70,000 enrolled students outside of Stanford. Also wrote autograders for online assignments so that students enrolled outside of Stanford could receive a grade for the course. From November 2011 to April 2012 (6 months) CS198 Section Leader @ - Taught section of students from CS106A: Programming Methodologies and CS106B: Programming Abstractions, introductory computer science courses, on material that supplemented the main lectures. - Graded assignments and exams and held weekly office hours. From March 2010 to June 2011 (1 year 4 months) Stanford, CASoftware Engineering Intern @ - Worked on the Search Analytics team - Created and tested new algorithms for detecting trends in product purchasing. Algorithm improves search results for 10.5% of all keywords searched on Amazon, and is the basis for a new metric, topicality. - Created a topicality report which includes interactive JavaScript widgets and AJAX calls to retrieve new items scrapped from internet news sources. - Wrote Pig Latin scripts to allow the parallel processing of queries performed on Amazon’s Analytics keyword database. From June 2010 to September 2010 (4 months) Palo Alto, CAiGEM Team Co-leader @ - Modeled novel enzymatic reactions in a genetically modified E. coli strain created to regulate the T-cell levels of its host organism. - Constructed and characterized a novel tryptophan sensor which can detect a synthetic tryptophan analogue. - Gathered over $70,000 of funding from professors and venture capital firms such as Sequoia Capital, Flagship Ventures, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Mohr Davidow Ventures, and Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers.
