PhD and Graduate Assistant
2009 - PRESENTCUNY- Create a C++ localization library for autonomous robots implementing a Monte Carlo optimization algorithm.
- Teach OO programming in C++ to undergraduate students.
- Teach OO programming in Java to undergraduate students.
- Analyze large datasets of journal publication data to infer correlation between author collaboration and paper success. Used machine learning algorithms to show that previous author collaboration is a good predictor for the number of citations a paper will receive.
- Develop and prove bounds on graph algorithms (a generalization of the shortest path problem and a generalization of the matching problem).
- Develop and prove bounds on an approximation algorithm for a computational geometry problem.
Technologies: Java, C++, RWeb Developer
2014 - 2014Rumr.co- Developed the back-end for an apartment sharing web application.
- Integrated the application with the Facebook API for authentication and connecting users through their common friends, likes, jobs, etc.
- Integrated the application with the Google Maps API to show apartment listings on the map.
- Used Haystack for filtering apartment listings based on keywords.
- Used Ajax and jQuery manipulation to build an in-page messaging system.
- Used Ajax and jQuery with the Cloudinary API to upload and resize user images.
- Used Ajax and jQuery to build a widget to allow the user resize the profile image.
- Used Adobe Illustrator to design the logo and other graphics.
- Designed and implemented the UI for the website.
Technologies: Python, Django, Haystack, PostgresSoftware Engineer
2008 - 2009Cyrus Innovation- Developed a large web-based asset management system.
- Developed and unit tested a JavaScript autocomplete widget using jQuery and Jasmine.
- Worked in an Agile, TDD environment.
- Created migration scripts to port legacy data to the new system using Python.
- Tested legacy code to ensure porting to the new system proceeds smoothly.
Technologies: Java, Webwork, Hibernate, Pico Container, JavaScript, jQuery, Prototype

Experience
- Rumr.co (Development)
I developed the back-end and front-end of Rumr.co, a web application for finding roommates through your social network, during the summer of 2014. It uses Python, Django, and the Facebook, Google Maps, Cloudinary, and Mandrill APIs as well as some Ajax forms.
