Work Experience
Senior Python Web Scraping Specialist
Number Five House Ltd
- Developed and deployed a web scraping pipeline with Python and Selenium.
- Collected profile and network data from a large online social media platform.
- Performed ETL on the data. Used network analysis and machine learning to enrich collected information.
Undergraduate Researcher
Imperial College London
- Built a TensorFlow machine learning pipeline using Python to predict the properties of high-energy X-ray pulses at ultrafast rates.
- Deployed machine learning pipelines to the university's high-performance computing cluster using Secure Shell.
- Developed simulations of quantum many-body physics in Python and devised a new measurement scheme to analyze simulations.
- Used advanced statistics and machine learning, including restricted Boltzmann machine neural networks, to extract knowledge from our simulations.
- Co-authored two papers currently in preparation, both applying machine learning to different physics regimes.
Research Intern
The Institute of Cancer Research
- Developed an unsupervised learning pipeline to analyze genetic risk factor pathways for brain tumors in adults.
- Programmed and debugged R and Python to contribute to interdisciplinary research.
- Implemented my pipeline on a high-performance computing cluster.
- Updated the legacy code to use Python 3 instead of Python 2.
- Performed tissue-specific analysis to find significant risk factors that would not be recognized as significant without accounting for tissue differences.
