Net Core/.Net Framework back-end developer and architect. Primary responsibilities include architecting, writing and testing the business logic and APIs.

Achievements:

• Co-Architecting/Developing a SaaS application which will provide team communication and global company reminders. The application is a being created using a micros-service architecture.
• Developing a SaaS application geared towards the fire protection services industry.
• Developing/Maintaining several applications for a national auto retail company.
• Developing/Maintaining a business-to-business B2B solution for a Midwest US based food supplier. This solution incorporates Windows Azure Web/Worker Roles, Azure Table Storage and Blob Storage. The site communicates with NetSuite as the financial system and with many front-end systems where orders are placed. The application has more than 80 microservices
• Architected/Developed a solution for a real estate management company.

Net Core/.Net Framework back-end developer. Primary responsibilities include writing and testing the business logic and APIs. Was tasked with writing automatic software to detect certain sensitive forms (i.e., I-9 and W-4 forms) and remove sensitive information, primarily the SSN. This was done by training with Pytorch OCR models and the generation of large amounts of training data.

Achievements:

• Worked on moving system from .NET Framework .NET Core
• Helped set up a robust unit testing system
• Helped develop safer password requirements for users
• Worked on improving LUIS model for our virtual assistant

Technologies used:

• C#
• .NET Framework
• .NET Core
• Pytorch
• Tensorflow
• LUIS

Scheduling Theory: Investigating various scheduling scenarios for both manufacturing and service industries in order to identify scheduling problems that are applicable to a wide range of customers and whose solutions are tractable. Solutions to those problems will be implemented in the platform.

Symbolic Dynamics: Learned the theory behind shifts of finite type, in particular vertex shifts. Proved that it is decidable if two vertex shifts are conjugate via a given 1-block code. This was an effort to understand the general decidability problem of conjugacies of vertex shifts.

Category Theory, Algebraic Topology, and Group Homology: Worked with a previously published group cohomology research paper in order to extend the results presented. Research included category theory including coproducts and symmetric monoidal categories, and algebraic topology through the form of simplicial complexes.

• Information Theory: Studied the mathematics behind mutual information and transfer entropy. Calculated transfer entropy for data from generators in a power systems network.
• Persistent Analysis: Built a filtration of graphs using the transfer entropy data and applied network measures to each graph. Used average clustering coefficient and the length of the cycle basis.
• Persistent Homology: Learned about the theoretical background of persistent homology and how it could be applied to networks.

• Front-end Developer: Responsible for developing front-end views for Single Page Applications. I was responsible for correctly implementing back-end WebAPI services. The applications include Donor Management, CRM, and Business Collaboration for several clients.
• Mobile Developer: Responsible for writing a mobile version of the client’s web application. Worked with Angular2 and Ionic2 Framework.
