Machine Learning Engineer
2018 - 2019
PackageX
- Maintained a product's core algorithm and fixed bugs.
- Improved the performance and accuracy of a core functionality by implementing optimized text matching using the Aho Corasick algorithm.
- Integrated Google Cloud's NER engine for raw information extraction from package labels.
- Built a customized black-box testing framework for automated testing before deployment in production.
- Constructed from the ground up a truth-labeling tool using Python and OpenCV to help implement future machine learning projects.
- Developed a tool for analysis of production environment which helps the customer support team analyze the situation in production and respond accordingly.
- Experimented with a machine learning-based string matching algorithm to take production system performance to the next level.

Associate Machine Learning Engineer
2018 - 2018
VisionX
- Extracted and isolated a staff-line detection algorithm in music sheets from the client's existing codebase (C++).
- Wrapped multiple legacy software using command-line in a single consistent codebase of modern C++ (11).
- Used an existing EAST text detector implementation to extract lyrics from music sheets.
- Developed an algorithm to associate notes extracted from legacy code and lyrics from EAST implementation.
- Experimented with EAST training and C++ implementation to optimize code to run on older hardware.

Deploy GPT-2 Model Serverless
https://github.com/NaxAlpha/gpt-2xyThis project provides a simple web interface to experiment with GPT-2 small model and it is deployed completely serverless on Google Cloud Run.
Generating New Icons using GANs
https://github.com/NaxAlpha/xganI implemented a vanilla generative adversarial network (GAN) from scratch using PyTorch and applied it to an icon dataset that was scraped from around the internet.
