## Work Experience
### Software Development Engineer In Test @ Apple
Jan 2021 – Present | Cupertino, California, United States
• Developing Calendar UI Automation testing using XCTest in iOS, iPadOS and macOS
• Collaborating with Calendar Developers and QA, Application Technologies, Test index and XCTestInternal teams developing UI Automation Testing
• Understanding and debating expected testing behaviors and methodologies. I’ve worked on developing new Automation tests for home screen widgets, lock screen, safety check for shared calendars, and macOS keyboard shortcuts and contextual menus to iPadOS working with Calendar QA DRIs for the tentpole to understand these new features and to write Automation task Radars for CTP tests.
• Developing, maintaining, and running the Calendar automation were influential in
   submitting high quality weekly roots, signing off on releases and validating new hardware
   on macOS Ventura and iOS 16 and all of the macOS Monterey and iOS 15 software and security
   updates.

### Graduate Research Assistantship @ Arizona State University
Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Tempe, AZ
• Architected and deployed a sophisticated two-step Machine Learning classification pipeline using Python, Django, and scikit-learn to detect systemic misinformation across global digital media platforms. By implementing a hybrid ensemble of Passive Aggressive, Random Forests, and Logistic Regression classifiers, I enabled the high-speed processing of massive unstructured datasets, a critical requirement for countering real-time adversarial information warfare. 
• To enhance the system’s precision, applied Joint Jensen-Shannon (JJS) divergence to generate a continuous anomaly detection signal, which allowed for the identification of coordinated influence campaigns that traditional models often miss. 
• Designed and developed a proprietary coordination tool to streamline human-in-the-loop data annotation. This tool was vital for generating the high-integrity training corpus required to maintain the accuracy of the AI models.

### Graduate Services Assistant @ Arizona State University
Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Tempe, Arizona, United States
• Being a Graduate Assistant of Dr. Yoshihiro Kobayashi, gave the opportunity to interact with undergraduate students in Programming field, share my knowledge on Programming languages while mentoring them in class activities.
