Full-stack Developer

2016 - 2019

Kaffee

Developed an image processing algorithm for the classification of raw coffee beans, using OpenCV and C++.
Implemented a Java back end to provide access to the vision algorithms via HTTP.
Developed the front end of a mobile application with React Native to capture pictures of the coffee beans and upload them to the back-end server for classification.
Collected images to build a dataset and trained neural networks, using Caffe and Apache MXNet.
Developed an application for internal company use, using Java, Spring, and Bootstrap.

Experience

Cofness Coffee Classification App

A mobile app for raw coffee bean classification. I developed the entire system from scratch, wrote the segmentation algorithms, trained neural networks for classification, made the algorithm accessible through a Java back end, and created the front-end app using React Native.

License Plate Recognition Software

A system that analyzes live image feeds in real time to detect, read, and store license plates. I developed the system from scratch, building a dataset of images using Amazon Mechanical Turk, training the neural networks from scratch, and building the place recognition system using Python, OpenCV, and TensorFlow.

Squidtool Poker Assistant

Squidtool helps poker players during the preflop stage of a game. I developed the back end from scratch, using Java and Spring. The method behind Squidtool relies on a large dataset that needs to be accessed quickly. I designed and implemented a binary format to store the dataset in an easily searchable way. The file is then memory-mapped for fast, random access.
