Since joining Presto in 2019, I've been building and maintaining numerous APIs that allow our Presto (Android) devices to communicate with a diversed set of point-of-sale systems. Functionalities includes sending orders, getting checks, making payments, etc.

At Carnegie Institute of Science, I built machine learning pipelines to classify functions. One main focus is to predict compartmentalization of cellular metabolism. I also used the preliminary results from this work in a proposal that received over $2 million of funding. Advised by top scientist in the field, Dr. Sue Rhee

For both my MS and PhD at Virginia Tech, I developed algorithms and computational pipeliens to predict genetic modifications that can lead to industrally useful new traits. These include, greater biomass, elevated sugar yield, and targeted amino-acid enrichment. Advised by outstanding PIs, Dr. Ryan Senger and Dr. Glenda Gillaspy (Dep. Biochem. head)

Motivates by the question of "how to model stock movement?" I built Redtide to scrape stock history and company financial data. I'm improving it continuously. Most recent change is adding a tradebot that trades on Robinhood. Please check it out, and let me know what you think! Redtide repo

There's a huge community on Reddit that's interested in modeling the stock market, r/algotrading. I often share the data that I obtained with Redtide on Kaggle and Reddit so we can all explore how we can predict stock market's future. Please checkout my datasets, thanks! Stock data on Kaggle
