Vetted Education Professionals in California

“Hands-on engineer who has taken an LSTM Bitcoin forecasting model from notebook to a production-grade, monitored API (Docker/Gunicorn/Nginx, Prometheus/Grafana, blue-green rollback) delivering 99.9% availability and ~110–120ms p95 latency. Also built an RFID self-checkout prototype spanning Raspberry Pi + firmware + networking, using deep instrumentation to eliminate double-charges/timeouts (<0.1%) and reduce checkout time ~20% through idempotency, debounce logic, and hardware fixes.”

“Master’s thesis focused on building and deploying a gait-based biometric authentication system using mobile accelerometer time-series data as an alternative to passwords/2FA. Emphasized real-world robustness by addressing sensor noise and variability (phone placement, walking speed, footwear) and improving safety using biometric metrics like FAR/FRR and EER, while collaborating closely with a non-ML thesis advisor.”

“Built and shipped a "Strangers Things" app from a messy prototype to a deployed Vercel product by running informal user tests and converting UX pain points (login friction, clunky messaging, session persistence) into targeted technical fixes. Also has teaching/demo experience, including adapting a Scratch coding workshop for young students, highlighting strong audience-aware communication and troubleshooting skills.”

“Built and organized SQL databases for a grocery pricing update backend and has hands-on experience designing FastAPI/Python APIs with security controls like authentication, RBAC, and strict validation. Also brings research experience identifying real-world failure modes (weather-driven sensor/model inaccuracies in MSE wall corrosion work) and adapting models to improve robustness, plus UI design support on an email-restricted campus hackathon enrollment flow.”
