Current research is focused on Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) and their applications in cryptographic technologies. ### Software Engineer @ Northrop Grumman Jan 2025 – Jan 2025 | Boulder, Colorado, United States First half of internship was a project to develop a Python program to validate collected sensor readings by comparing them to reference values using physics and linear algebra principles. This involved transforming a lot of data through a pipeline and multiple "dimensions" to track projectiles. Second half involved simulations to synthetically generate trajectory measurements to enable system demonstrations. I worked with other engineers to create a data driver to pass deserialized objects/data from one subsystem to another. ### Teaching Assistant @ The University of Texas at El Paso Jan 2024 – Jan 2025 | El Paso, Texas, United States Assist with teaching, grading, and managing a teaching in Python or Java with over 150 students. Courses covered: Data Structure, Elementary Data Structures and Algorithms. Facilitated review sessions and developed clear, accessible explanations tailored to diverse learning styles, fostering academic growth and confidence. ### Undergraduate Teaching Assistant @ The University of Texas at El Paso Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | El Paso, Texas, United States - Assisted 60 undergraduate students in an Advanced Object-Oriented Course taught in Java by hosting custom reviews, study sessions and debugging in-class projects - Supported and reinforced in-class topics through weekly office hours with one-on-one conversations with students ### Undergraduate Research Assistant @ The University of Texas at El Paso Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | El Paso, Texas, United States - Conduct research on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Deep Learning - Apply concepts for the development of a Deep Learning algorithm for image recognition through waterfowl (mallards/ducks) images and raw identification project ### Assistant Web Developer @ The University of Texas at El Paso Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | El Paso, Texas, United States I was tasked with building, developing and designing a static website for faculty members in the computer science department at UTEP as part of a (NSF) research program. Hosted on the university's servers, the website had 6 landing pages with constant updates with related content, useful capabilities, and up-to-date links to outside sources. The website was built using Bootstrap, HTML and CSS where the code had to be maintained according to any new content and features added. ### Software Engineer @ Northrop Grumman Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States I was in charge of a project to design a Docker container that ingests logging data from 42 microservices. I did this by collaborating with full-time engineers where we deserialized Protobuf logging data using Java to store it into an ElasticSearch database using Kafka Connect. For visualization and analysis, I integrated Kibana, a UI Tool, to query the ElasticSearch database with filters, graphs, and keywords. ### "Code Sensei" Learning Facilitator @ Code Ninjas Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | El Paso, Texas, United States Work with children from ages 5-14 to build games with code and play once the games can run. On a day to day, I work with one to two other educators and see a range of 7 to 20 students at a time where we work through different modules per student. In technical terms, I facilitate the learning of CS fundamentals in multiple coding languages (Javascript, C#) with kids to build game functionalities and interfaces. ### Software Engineer @ Northrop Grumman Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States Received hands-on experience in developing software functionalities for the Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System (PARCS) involving backend automation and usability using Java. Engaged in Agile practices by participating in daily stand-up meetings and sprint planning sessions, gaining valuable insights into industry-standard practices, project management approaches and development of cross-functional teams in a software and hardware development. ### AI4ALL College Pathways Participant @ AI4ALL Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | El Paso, Texas, United States Receiving a hands-on introduction to computer science and AI, I learned about AI’s social and ethical impacts, understand bias in information and AI applicability, explored AI career pathways across a variety of fields and built an AI project portfolio in a group with 3 other participants. ### Programming Intern @ Air Force Research Laboratory Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Rome, New York, United States Member of nine person research team at a national lab to develop Modeling and Simulation environment in support of Wargaming activities Translate physical board game components and rules into a digital representation in the Unity Game Engine using C# Lead for the Aircraft management system: design UI elements and custom scripts to automate adjudication ### Tech Exchange Scholar @ Google Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | El Paso, Texas, United States An academic program for students in partnership with select HBCUs and HSIs. The goal is to build applied Computer Science skills and social capital in the tech industry among Black and Latinx students. Courses taken while in this program: - Applied Data Structures - Product Management - Careers in Tech ### Sales Specialist @ Apple Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 | El Paso, Texas, United States - Drove sales for the store branch by aiding 100+ customers on a daily basis and providing expert knowledge on brand products - Increased sales by promoting the sales of accessories and supporting products ## Education ### Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Computer Science The City University of New York Jan 2025 – Jan 2028 ### Master of Science - MS in Software Engineering The University of Texas at El Paso Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 ### Certificate in Advanced Technical Interview Prep CodePath Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science The University of Texas at El Paso Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 ### Associate's degree in Engineering El Paso Community College Jan 2014 – Jan 2017 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/an-cor --- Source: https://flows.cv/angelcoronel JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/angelcoronel/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
