I am senior at the University of New Mexico majoring in computer science. I expect to graduate in May 2021. My areas of interest are HCI, IoT, Machine Learning, and Robotics.
GPA: 4.19Relevant coursework: Software Engineering, Design of Large Programs, Data Structures and Algorithms, Computer Architecture and Organization, Principles of Artificially Intelligent Machines, Numerical Computing.
☐ Designed a hardware-software integrated system for a novel large scale outdoor interactive mural.
☐ Built embedded systems utilizing Raspberry Pi, microcontrollers and sensors to respond to human interactions,
record weather data, and wirelessly communicate with the server and the database.
☐ Developed a database and a fully-fledged web interface to remotely observe, monitor, and control the mural.
☐ Leveraged skills in Node.js, p5.js, MySQL, Python, C, HTML, CSS, Raspberry Pi, Microcontrollers, HTTP, I2C
☐ Extend DIG – a tool for generating linear and nonlinear numerical invariants using symbolic states.
☐ Devised a novel heuristic approach to find the maximum degree of invariants in the form of nonlinear equality involving non-factorable polynomials with the help of numerical analysis of the concrete states.
Designed an algorithm, and developed a program utilizing Python and SageMath; the program is capable of finding the maximum degree with a success rate of 90%.
☐ Leveraged skills in Python, SageMath, Multivariable Calculus, Interpolation.
☐ Led a team of 4 members at the UNM CTSC Health Hackathon – 2020, proposed a digital indoor navigation system for large hospitals that will help each hospital to stop an average revenue leakage of $250000 every year. The proposed system has been selected to be funded by NIH with an initial amount of $10000.
☐ Developed a prototype of a hardware-software integrated system that utilizes QR codes to help patients and staff navigate inside hospitals.
☐ Leveraged skills in JavaScript, React, NodeJS, Embedded Systems.
☐ Administer laboratory classes for the ‘Design of Large Programs’ course, instruct students on how to use
different tools related to writing software, and evaluate the projects submitted by the students.
☐ Leveraged skills in Java, Design Patterns
☐ Advance ongoing research on chronic pain at the Department of Anesthesiology by extracting and running different tests on protein and RNA samples.
