Projects
Eagle Ford - Explored data from public
and private oil/gas databases to model
and predict qualities of water production
in Eagle Ford wells around Karnes county.
Hearthstone - Clustered Hearthstone
decks using DBSCAN. The cards in these
clustered decks were then used to predict
an opponent’s deck based on cards seen
with up to 77% accuracy after seeing
three cards.
LoL - Developed Gaussian Mixture Models
to cluster hero types from the game
League of Legends using post-game data
from 3,000 professional games scraped
from Riot’s match history website.
Experience
Olea Edge Analytics
Present Developing multi-stage image recognition systems using Tensorflow and
Google Cloud Platform to process images streaming from thousands of
devices.
• Custom Tensorflow Models - Created custom CNN model architecture
to process images, increasing transcription success from 10% to over
90%.
• Edge ML - Optimized small-footprint Tensorflow Lite models for
inference on sub-watt, solar powered, edge devices utilizing Google’s
EdgeTPU.
• Cloud ML - Implemented AutoML, Vertex AI, and Google Cloud
Functions to automate image based ML solutions in the cloud, scaling
our initial edge solution from thousands of images per week to 10’s of
thousands of images per day.
• Analytics - Developed the baseline analytics platform and visualization
tools used by a team of analysts to report statistics, detect anomalies,
and categorize failures on thousands of devices.
July 2017 Graduate Assistant Data Miner College of Graduate Studies
Jun 2018
• Social Media Engagement Model - Began design/development of
multiple models (ANN/SVR) to predict Facebook engagement on posts
collected from the Tarleton College of Graduate Studies’ Facebook
Insights. Tools used: Keras, Scikit-Learn, NLTK, python.
• Pathways - Created a backend to run analytics for the Texas A&M
University System’s 14th Annual Pathways Research Symposium.
This involved a judge score monitoring application, a poster pairing
algorithm, and a z-scoring algorithm.
• Other duties Developed ETL from TSU’s Ellucian Banner database and
modeling/visualization, providing insights to the administration for
strategic enrollment decisions.
Jun 2016 Graduate Research Assistant Mathematics Department
Jul 2017 No-Slip - Implemented a ’no-slip’ particle physics model using parallel
techniques with CUDA. Presented that it was possible to sequester
carbon molecules in a thermophoretic environment with ’no-slip’
collisions using an N-Body simulation.
