Facial Recognition
August 1, 2017 – September 1, 2017
• Developed a facial recognition algorithm utilizing Matlab image processing, machine learning, and fuzzy logic toolboxes • Handled preprocessing images using fuzzy logic to reduce noise and create machine learning friendly training data • Fed preprocessed set of images through a built-in function that utilizes SURF features and K-means clustering to generate a bag-of-words, which is then used to train a SVM and yield a classifier • Introduced user interactivity by allowing the program to access webcam and take snapshots to make predictions on
Website for Film Enthusiast
May 1, 2016 – June 1, 2016
• Created user friendly form validation using Javascript and additional secure validation in the back-end with PHP • Assisted in establishing functionality of "administrative tasks" such as adding or deleting videos and blog posts to the website database by use of forms that receive input from the front end, then process and save the relevant information using PHP and SQL • Ensured that saved data is correctly processed in the back-end, displaying the data in desired format and styling • Facilitated search functionality for site visitors that allowed users to find desired blog posts and videos, translating user input into SQL queries for the database
Mailroom Application
November 1, 2015 – December 1, 2015
• Created a Windows application that returns faculty mail and contact information from user search of last name. Utilized Java Swing/AWT for UI, and a HashMap built from local storage for data retrieval • Improved application to be more user friendly by converting searches to have suggestions based on single character replacements on original input, and comparing those values with HashMap keys
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's project diversity, including web development, facial recognition, and a desktop application, shows a broad interest in different technical areas. Their professional experience at large tech companies like Microsoft and Roblox suggests an ability to work in structured, fast-paced environments. However, the direct alignment with a 'Data Analyst' role is not explicitly strong, as most experience is in software engineering, not pure data analysis, reporting, or business intelligence. The 'Data Analyst' target role seems like a career transition, which might require additional cultural alignment assessment.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's experience at Microsoft includes maintaining service health, developing tooling, and strengthening documentation, which suggests a focus on operational excellence. Delegating tasks and providing feedback to junior members indicates leadership potential and collaboration skills. The TA role also highlights communication and mentorship abilities. However, the target role is Data Analyst, which is a pivot from their core software engineering experience.
