I joined AWM's Model Management team as a full stack engineer. This team primarily deals with portfolio tooling and implementation. Our software helps advisors craft portfolios that meet the constraints of our clients and the guidelines of our research team.

I contribute to several portions of our technical stack: improving performance of our backend by optimizing queries, enabling our UI to retrieve information from other teams within AWM, and writing tools to maintain consensus with other stores of data within JP Morgan.

To develop my leadership skills, I've taken on the role of Scrum Master for our development team. Running sprint planning and retrospectives has taught me a lot about the drift that tends to happen between our goals and outcomes. It's also taught me the importance of effective communication across different domains and with different types of people (technical, users, management).

In January 2018, I continued my experience with SAP as a UI team lead. I'm currently participating on many of the projects that I was contributing to as an intern. Now, however many of my efforts are focused on helping teams that are attempting to solve similar problems collaborate and share UI technologies more effectively.

I'm excited to be exploring new technologies such as Vue.js, and React. And how these technologies might relate to our diverse technical stacks and strategies.

A library that makes the Math of the Mercator Projection and Google's Static Maps Library painless. Can be used to get map tiles for geospatial visualizations of very large amounts of data.

My internship with SAP started in my freshman year and flexes with my school schedule (full-time/part-time). My major focus has been on the Consumer Insights 365 (CI365) product -- a big data solution that allows market researchers to gain unique consumer insights by analyzing terabytes of data from telco providers.

• CI365 -- My work on CI365 spanned multiple areas of the technical stack.
• Front-end: create intuitive ways for users to query and visualize unstructured data.
• Back-end: create code to efficiently execute ambitious data science strategies.
• Data Science: Wrote machine learning algorithms to fill in unavailable attributes in our data.
• Authored Data Visualization Suite for Massive Geospatial Datasets
  • I saw the need and proactively created a toolset that is used by CI365 data scientists to visualize our data with high fidelity, to identify areas of undercoverage/overcoverage, as a critical QA step.
• SAP Multi-Factor Authentication Solutions
• Identified an improvement opportunity in SAP's SMS-based two factor authentication product and implemented a TOTP two-factor authentication strategy.
• Led exploration of novel multi-factor authentication strategies, that utilized push notifications and biometrics, for future development.
• Pioneered Code Insights Initiative as a Passion Project
• Developed a tool to monitor code quality in large codebases with multiple contributors.
• Converts version-controlled codebases into custom Abstract Syntax Trees which are used to track KPI's for each developer.
• Pending addition to SAP's collection of Open Source Software.

Derivative/D is a company that attempts to make the shipping process easier for young organizations. At Derivative/D I worked on several web frameworks, such as the Flask and Celery, as well as the Google App Engine Platform.

In June of 2014 I completed four enjoyable years at Wayne Hills High School. During this time I was a member of the Varsity Swim Team, and participated in the Marching Band. I also pursued Martial Arts outside of school, by learning and teaching Tae Kwon Do, Brazilian Jui Jitzu, and Mixed Martial Arts.

Plexx is a company dedicated to helping unemployed and underemployed people find jobs. While I was working at Plexx I worked on an Android app, and contributed to a website that helped unemployed and underemployed people find the nearest career center, pick a field of interest, and receive training specific in that field. Plexx allows career centers to monitor all the people they are trying to help, and contact them if the need arises.

During my work at Plexx, I contributed to an Android App and Website that interfaced with Amazon Web Services and Parse. I also had the opportunity to visit career centers, and interview people seeking jobs in order to improve the user experience. We held many focus groups to understand the unique needs of the demographic we were targeting.

During my time at Plexx, the company was affiliated with the Blue Ridge Foundation, an incubator targeting social innovation. This was a fantastic learning experience that helped me understand many of the problems that tech startups face, and some of the best practices for dealing with those issues.

Plexx is no longer in business

Skylight1 is an open source Java mobile projects framework and collection of Android applications and demos. This group started in Feb 2009 as part of the NYC Java User Group with the revenue from the project's initial applications going to the NYC User Group, a 501c3 educational non-profit.

I joined Skylight1 in the Winter of 2012. Being an active member at Skylight1 has taught me a lot about best practices in Android and open source. While on Skylight1, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with members on projects that utilize Android, Google Glass, and Google Wear technologies.

Check out Skylight1's Google Code or Github.

A simple Android app that replaces the traditional scoring technologies that cost thousands of dollars and are not accessible to all schools.

This was my first project on the Android Platform. Using resources such as Google's Developer Documentation, Vogella, and Marakana I taught myself everything I would need to know to begin Android Development.

You can check out the app on the Play Store.

This app was included in top 5 Martial Arts apps, twice
