Work Experience
Ruby on Rails Engineer
Self-employed
- Developed, maintained, and updated Phytohub, a plant information related web application using Ruby on Rails.
- Developed back-end data pipelines that import plant-related datasets from online resources.
- Built front-end interface using JavaScript, CoffeeScript, and Slim.
- Worked with Redis, NGINX, Puma, Capistrano, JSON, RSpec, MySQL, Active Admin, and Digital Ocean.
- Deployed the Phytohub application on distributed servers that are being used by researchers at INRAE and other agriculture-based research institutions.
Artificial Intelligence Engineer
Huawei Technologies Co.
- Researched and developed deep reinforcement learning technologies with MCTS, UCB, Bandits, DQN, AlphaZero, AlphaGo, and ResNets.
- Developed ML and RL end-to-end frameworks using Python, C++, TensorFlow, PyTorch, TVM, and Halide.
- Trained very large deep neural networks, including ResNets, using GPU parallelization.
- Deployed a deep RL-based product to GPU, CPU, and NPU servers being used in production.
- Published a paper in ICTAI improving the state-of-the-art results in tensor optimization (TVM) using a Bandit-based reinforcement learning algorithm.
- Published a heuristic search paper in SoCS based on memory-bounded best-first beam search for scheduling halide programs.
Software Developer
Drugbank
- Developed, maintained, and updated a large-scale drug information SaaS Drugbank application with one million daily users using Ruby on Rails.
- Developed back-end data pipelines that import drug-related datasets from online resources.

- Developed front-end JavaScript and HTML using JQuery, Slim, ERB, and CoffeeScript.
- Implemented SVM, RNN, Transformer, skip-gram, and BOW models for a multi-classification task to predict the type of interactions between drugs and proteins from natural language.
- Implemented spaCy NER classification algorithm to predict different entities like drugs and proteins from the text. Implemented BERT from PyTorch-Transformers for this task.
Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Developer
A&K Robotics
- Researched and developed AI software that predicts objects and their distance from the camera and other sensors like LIDAR and IR, implementing YOLO, R-CNN, and SSD.
- Worked with Python, C++, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Detectron, and Darknet.

Software Developer in R&D
The Metabolomics Innovation Center
- Developed, maintained, and updated multiple web application software, servers and databases using Agile software engineering with a team of software developers.
- Created large-scale web applications to handle more than 300,000 users per month on Drugbank and Human Metabolome Database.
- Published five research papers, academic journals, and over ten bioinformatics application servers and databases using Ruby on Rails, MongoDB, MySQL, AngularJS, JQuery, Twitter Bootstrap, and Python Django.
- Developed internal software libraries and RESTful APIs to facilitate biological data exchange.
- Worked on system administration with cloud servers hosted on Google Compute Engine, Digital Ocean, and AWS.
Experience
Stimulating Creativity with FunLines
https://aclanthology.org/2020.acl-demos.28/Based on the generated dataset, we trained a deep neural network model that can predict the degree of fun given a sentence. We then deployed this model in production, which has been used as a guide for users to know how fun their sentences would be. We trained the model using BERT and PyTorch. The application was built using the Python Django framework. The application was demoed and published at the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) NLP conference.
