I joined Professor Philip Klein's Redistricting research group in the Spring of my Junior year at Brown, and have spent most of my time on the team implementing a sophisticated dynamic programming algorithm that Professor Klein had described in a paper some time earlier. While implementing the general design he described, I have been adding my own optimizations and improvements along the way, and have managed dramatic increases in efficiency that have taken the program from a place where in some cases it might have taken weeks or months to run on a supercomputer to one where I can now run it on those same inputs on my own laptop in under an hour. I continue to work on this project and make efficiency and functionality improvements over time.

At WhiteSmoke, I single-handedly built a prototype mobile app for the main company product using React Native from the ground up. I then built a prototype desktop app from scratch using Electron+React. For the desktop application, I developed a system of displaying and applying suggested textual replacements while maintaining the original text formatting.

At Facebook, I claimed ownership of an internal data upload tool and dramatically improved many features, including allowing multiple files to upload at the same time and removing the size limit on data files. I then transitioned the tool from using a Hive backend to SparkSQL. References available.
