A Novel Approach to Machine Learning Combining Classical Occam's Razor Learning with Vapnik's Modern Statistical Theory
September 1, 2016 – April 1, 2017
Approaches the classification problem from a new angle with a novel machine learning method, Hybrid Tree Classifier (HTC), that combines Occam’s Razor with VC Theory by first decomposing complex datasets into smaller subsets with Decision Trees before other methods are applied to these subsets. This addresses the critical problem of data being too large and complex to handle, while maintaining the fundamental principles of VC Theory.
A Novel Machine Learning Approach to Proteomics Analysis of HIV-1 Protease Interactome for Effective Combative Drugs Development
December 1, 2015 – April 1, 2016
The development of combative drugs for HIV-1 requires knowledge regarding the complex interaction between its protease and substrate. The specificity of the substrate was analyzed using machine learning methods. New, easily applicable rules were discovered, helping to enable HIV-Drug development and providing proof of concept for combative drug development in the medical field as a whole.

Mitigating Local Industrial Air Pollutant Movements by Monitoring Temperature Inversion Patterns in North Portland
June 1, 2015 – August 1, 2015
The purpose of this project is to develop a way to forecast temperature inversion patterns which would allow us to mitigate the movements of local air pollutants from industrial activities in the area, minimizing any harm done to the local population. Monitored weather conditions at different elevations in the North Portland area. Designed a way to collect data from flying a drone and/or weather balloon with a Kestrel sensor attached, enhancing the ability to detect and predict temperature inversions.
Development of A Novel Forest Fire Prediction Tool Utilizing Historical Data and Machine Learning Methods
May 1, 2014 – July 1, 2017
Developed a program in Python using the data mining and Machine Learning tool Orange for wildfire magnitude prediction. Studied machine learning methods: Support Vector Machines, Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, Disjunctive Normal Form. 98% accuracy yielded by Disjunctive Normal Form based method and 10 fire weather attributes.
Development of a Forest Fire Prediction Tool For the State of Oregon
May 1, 2013 – April 1, 2014
Developed a tool in Matlab using Support Vector Machines to predict the area burned by a given wildfire. Contacted American Meteorological Association for Historical Fire Weather Database of more than 20 years of wildfires. Integrated and performed statistical analysis on database to determine the most efficient method for forest fire prediction through the testing of various fire weather attributes and Support Vector Machines.
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's background shows a strong inclination towards research, problem-solving, and leadership. The variety of projects, from environmental science to machine learning and web development, suggests a broad interest and ability to adapt to different domains. The experience at Intel and Amazon (future role) indicates a fit for structured, high-performance environments. The target role of 'Mobile Developer' is not directly supported by explicit mobile development projects or skills in the provided data, which might be a gap in cultural fit for a specialized mobile team.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong analytical and research skills through numerous academic projects and internships. Leadership roles suggest initiative and responsibility. The diverse project portfolio indicates adaptability and a willingness to tackle varied challenges. However, specific communication skills cannot be fully assessed without an English test score or direct interaction data.
