o Developed and implemented deep learning algorithms for quantitative investment trading strategies for a $20B Canadian pension fund's capital markets team.

o Built an asset allocation model using online learning, reinforcement learning, proximal policy optimization, CNN’s, and dense ANN’s to automatically invest $50M of the fund.

o Developed the trading bot in Python (Tensorflow, Scikit-learn).

o Researched statistical methods and algorithms to improve the model including: Bayesian Inferencing, Kalman Filters, Particle Filters, Gaussian Processes, and Autoencoders.

o Developed a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect and classify defects in QA images using Python (Keras, TensorFlow, OpenCV) detecting defects with 95% accuracy.

o Created machine learning models (Random Forest, K-NN, SVM) to predict the wear of refractory brick lining in industrial furnaces using R (CARET), reducing maintenance costs.

o Developed a MATLAB script which read in a client’s furnace temperature data, identified, calculated, and plotted the average peak temperatures of the furnace over time.

o Located areas of critical wear on a nuclear reactor, clustering flaws by severity using PCA.

o Designed a test fixture using ProE to emulate the mating fit between a helicopter and a custom handling system; created a 3D model, fabrication drawings, and BOM accordingly.

o Structurally analyzed an electro-mechanical system to improve internal quality checks using ANSYS; identified maximum stress locations with high probability of fatigue and yielding.

o Analyzed system response to EMI; identified critical frequencies that caused system failure.

o Designed automated work cells using SolidWorks, reducing labor costs and improving production output by 20%. The work cell consisted of pneumatic actuators, induction sensors, fixture designs, cell caging, and PLC’s. The cell design considered safety, DFM and DFA.

o Redesigned misaligned tooling to compensate for thermal expansion of the tool at operating temperature.

o Used SolidWorks to design and 3-D print prototype fixtures for assembly work cells to be used in production. Fabrication drawings were made, and final fixtures were machined in house.
