# Baris Guzelsoy > SWE @ Jefferies Location: New York City Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/barisguzelsoy I am a Software Engineer at Jefferies and an alumnus of the University of Rochester, with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Philosophy to explore the world surrounding us. My mission is to understand and create my own meaning through the means of Coding, Mathematics, Philosophy, and Psychology. By looking at the world of algorithms through the lenses of different philosophers and scientists, I hope to be able to fuel my curiosity, build my own playground of thoughts, and see my work in different lights. I see life as one large-scale maze, where every step forward creates a feeling of accomplishment but also serves to remind me that there is so much more to study. Throughout my journey, I am pursuing a career as a programmer as I hope to take part in building the future for the next generations. ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Jefferies Jan 2024 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area * Java Spring Boot * Angular ### Information Technology Summer Analyst @ Jefferies Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 | New York City Metropolitan Area • Helped redesign the structure of an internal tool using Java Spring Framework and AngularJS, achieving ~40% growth in the processed trades per day • Utilized AWS SageMaker to implement an anomaly detection machine learning model • Improved the accuracy of the anomaly detections by 35% by adopting the Random Cut Forest algorithm ### STEP (SWE+PM) Intern @ Google Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Mountain View, California, United States • Developed and deployed to production a new layout to show more than 30 million users their eligible offers using Android Studio • Implemented multiple RPCs and utilized Protos • Collaborated with a Senior Android Developer to aid in the migration of the Google One app from its current web view to Android’s native view using Java, XML, and Google’s internal tools ### IT Help Desk & Computing Consultant @ Simon Business School, University of Rochester Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Rochester, New York, United States • Helping the customers with troubleshooting their Zoom sessions, along with managing their PowerPoint, Blackboard, and software issues • Operating at the Simon IT Help Desk, making sure the online/in-person classes flow as smooth as possible ### Seward Family Digital Archive Project Assistant @ University of Rochester Department of History Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Rochester, New York, United States • Working on transcribing the letters of the Seward Family as the TEI team • Updating the website with recent news and information on the Seward family • Filming and editing the videos for the project ### Software Engineer Intern @ STEM-Away Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Virtual • Worked under an experienced professional with a team of 8 programmers to achieve a content-based recommender system • Utilized the deep learning model to project the tags of each content with the help of the CarTalk forum through Pytorch • Upgraded the accuracy of each prediction by 20% by making use of scrapping over 4000 posts from CarTalk • Studied Selenium and BeautifulSoup in order to increase the accuracy and efficiency ### Research Intern @ Berlin Institute of Technology (Technische Universität Berlin) Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Berlin Area, Germany • Worked on small-scaled autonomous cars project with the Berlin Technical University engineering team • Utilized Git, ROS (Robot Operating System), Blender to visualize and implement the improvements to our project • Weekly meetings with TU Berlin professors and researchers to collaborate and share information on our projects ### Summer Intern @ DAI-Labor Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Berlin Area, Germany • Worked with the German-Turkish advanced research center with the project "Smart Cities" • Weekly meetings on the topic along with panels from professionals in the area ## Education ### Bachelor of Science - BS in Computer Science University of Rochester ### International Baccalaureate in DSD 2 German Diploma United World College Mostar ### DSD I B1 German Diploma Istanbul Cagaloglu Anadolu Lisesi ### Intermediate Technical Interview Prep CodePath ### Intro to Mobile Product Development -Passed with Honors CodePath ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/barisguz --- Source: https://flows.cv/barisguzelsoy JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/barisguzelsoy/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-05
