Experience
May 2023 – August 2023 | Plano, TX
Gen5IoT, USA | 2023 Summer Internship
Engineered and developed the Gen5IoT IoT Device Management Platform, a scalable solution that facilitates seamless integration, monitoring, and control of a wide range of IoT devices across multiple industries.
- Key functionalities include real-time data analytics, remote device configuration, and over-the-air firmware updates.
- These features were implemented using Java and C++, with database management incorporating SQL and NoSQL JSON objects. Code management and deployment were streamlined through a CI/CD pipeline using Jenkins.
August 2024 - April 2025 | Lafayette, IN
Corporate Partnership with Knudsen Institute | Data Mine Research
The Knudsen Institute is an applied research organization dedicated to developing technology solutions for U.S. manufacturers, aiming to enhance integration into the U.S. Defense Industrial Base at scale.
- Objective of this project is to train large language models (LLMs) on manufacturing languages in order to improve natural language processing (NLP), natural language understanding (NLU), and natural language generation (NLG) tasks.
- This enables the development of smarter applications that can accurately interpret and respond to manufacturing-related communication.
- Tools such as BeautifulSoup are used to extract data from HTML and XML files, while PyTorch was utilized for model development and architecture.
May 2025 – August 2025 | Madison WI
Promega Corporation | Summer Internship
Promega Corporation is a biotechnology company that develops and supplies over 4,000 products supporting life science research in areas such as genomics, protein analysis, cellular analysis, drug discovery, and forensic DNA identification.
- The goal of this project is to improve instrument reliability by designing a machine learning and statistical anomaly detection system that integrates environmental sensor data (temperature, humidity, particulate matter) to identify conditions in real-time that are linked to low-quality experimental results.
- Processed univariate and multivariate data in Python (pandas, NumPy) with cyclical time encoding, performed correlation analysis, and trained ML-based Holt-Winters, K-means Clustering, Isolation Forest, & Variational-Autoencoder models to flag anomalies
- Integrated an SHT45 sensor into Discover LLC boards with firmware (C/C++) and hardware modifications; updated host software to log environmental readings in real time alongside instrument metrics
