Location: New York, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/jahleel

As a software engineer at Northwestern University, I worked on the FUSE Studio project, a web-based platform that engages learners in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) exploration. I wrote Python scripts that extract, visualize, and analyze data from the FUSE database, which is hosted in the AWS cloud. I also lead the redesign of the data pipeline, using cloud storage migrations and columnar storage transformations to optimize cost and performance. Additionally, I contributed to the development and maintenance of the FUSE web application, using frameworks like NodeJS, React Native, and Laravel.

I graduated from Northwestern University with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Computer Science in 2023. During my studies, I gained proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C++, C#, PHP, Javascript, SQL, and R. I also obtained the Azure Data Fundamentals 900 certification, which demonstrates my knowledge of the Microsoft Azure Platform and its data services. Furthermore, I completed two internships as a data engineer at Avanade and a C# developer at Broadridge, where I applied my skills in data integration, data analysis, and web development to support various client projects. I am a skilled and adaptable software engineer, who values problem-solving, analytics, communication, and teamwork.

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Meta
Jan 2024 – Present | New York City Metropolitan Area

### Freelance Developer @ Unknown
Jan 2023 – Jan 2024
•	Leveraged advanced methodologies, including reinforcement learning, embedding layers, and indexing techniques, to train language learning models for code generation tasks.
•	Curated and prepared training data sets tailored to emphasize principles of Data Structures and Algorithm Design & Analysis, optimizing the learning process for language learning models.
•	Designed and developed mobile applications using React Native and WordPress, for small businesses, demonstrating proficiency in cross-platform development and content management system integration.

### Software Developer @ Northwestern University
Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Evanston, IL
●	Wrote python scripts that were used to extrapolate data from the FUSE database and create data visualizations that were key in garnering company sponsors such as Boeing and General Electric.
●	Spearheaded redesign of the data pipeline for the FUSE data workflow and data analysis tools using cloud storage migrations to Amazon S3 Storage, and columnar storage transformations, both changes optimized cost and performance of this data workflow dramatically causing a 350% increase in runtime speeds in our data analysis tools, a 50% decrease in storage solution costs year over year, and a 15% increase in student engagement with the site year over year.
●	Performed research and analysis tasks with data from the FUSE database, to extrapolate key insights to be displayed in Tableau that helped improve student UX and engagement.
●	Maintained the backend of the FUSE Web Application by debugging, troubleshooting, and optimizing multiple database and content management operations.

### Data Engineer Intern @ Avanade
Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 | Chicago, Illinois, United States
●	Leveraged expertise in python, natural language processing, and cloud technologies to create modules in Azure Data Factory which simulated fuzzy match algorithm optimizations that were pivotal in supporting my team’s development of a new master data management engine. Our $23 billion dollar client HUB International saw substantial increases in uniformity (up to 15%) between their CRM databases and a net 20% increase in matching runtime speeds for their MDM Workflow system.
●	Wrote, optimized, and debugged Python modules in Azure Data Factory, improving data staging and processing workflows for key data integration and transformation operations.

### C# Developer Intern @ Broadridge
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Lake Success, New York
●	Modernized my Broadridge team’s retirement fund delivery software by recompiling key modules from ColdFusion to C# within the .NET framework, effectively increasing the user interface functionality and scalability of said software as well as its capability for integration with APIs, modern database tools and the cloud.
●	Wrote and maintained key stored procedures and UDFs in SQL that automated production/development database tasks and workflows.
