  • My Oxford Master's Thesis

  • Nuclear Incident Report

    Breaches on nuclear facilities, whether malicious or harmless, cover a wide scope of incidents that are difficult to digest for analysts. My solution was to develop a time-based map of incidents, which can be filtered based on incident criteria, and allows the user to find similar events.

  • Tohme: An AI Project to Help Disabled Travelers

    We combined computer vision with a crowdsourced labeling tool built on Google Street View to find intersections with missing curb ramps. Interestingly, Tohme consisted of two workflows, a human labeling pipeline and a CV pipeline with human verification, which are scheduled dynamically based on predicted performance.

  • Towards Updatable D3.js Charts (Publication)
    https://www.toptal.com/d3-js/towards-reusable-d3-js-charts
    When Mike Bostock created D3.js, he introduced a tried and true reusable charts pattern for implementing the same chart in any number of selections. However, the limitations of this pattern are realized once the chart is initialized. In this article, Toptal engineer Rob Moore presents a revised reusable charts pattern that leverages the full power of D3.js.
