Internships
Software Engineering Internship Facebook Semester Long Internship
● Reduced redundant information writes to databases by 40% for a distributed system responsible for continuous
integration within Facebook.
● Added logging and measurement for measuring latency between events of said distributed system.
● Created a simulation system for said system to facilitate improving the throughput of testing and validation to code
changes before commit time with fewer risks.
Data Science Internship Bidgely Summer ‘19
● Pioneered an end to end product enabling effective and efficient demand side management for electric utilities.
● Developed an algorithm to cluster users on the basis of their lifestyle & predict kWh reductions & $ savings possible.
● Built a demo application for the product showing savings & mapping zipcodes for users returned by the filters selected.
Machine Learning Research Internship Adobe Systems Summer ‘18
● Differentiated Natural & Adversarial Data manifold & guided Selection of Neural Network architectures for input data
● Analyzed decision boundary topology to better understand feature space of neural networks for classification tasks.
Software Developer Internship Cerise Internet Technologies Summer ‘17
● Innovated a centroid based heuristic algorithm for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing problem leading to optimal routes
