WORK EXPERIENCE
STI Technologies Limited May 2015 – April 2016
Oracle Database Developer (Co-op) Business Intelligence Department
· Physician Record Linkage: Proposed and built a PL/SQL stored procedure based on the Fellegi-Sunter
probabilistic record linkage model to merge and clean physician data by clustering records in trees
representing a single physician, compensating for typos, missing data, and alternative spellings. Reduced
processing time by 90% through extensive optimization.
· Research: Independently gathered requirements and researched the team’s needs and the existing body of
work, identifying the most effective design approach for the Physician Record Linkage project.
· Automation Tools: Independently identified inefficient manual work and automated it using Python.
Tasks included modifying large batches of Crystal reports by injecting data from other files and using regex
to identify broken formatting, and creating dozens of Tableau sites.
· Program Manager Tool: Built a Tableau report for PMs to predict card programs that urgently required
resupply based on several velocity approximations.
· Web Scraping: Using the Selenium and Requests Python libraries, gathered and modeled provincial
healthcare data from interactive sites. This data enabled the ability to create and sell a new suite of reports.
· Knowledge Transfer: Taught colleague how to maintain web scrapers prior to departure.
· Consulting: Consulted with internal and external clients to gather report requirements, develop those
reports and interpret them, leading to actionable insights for our clients.

SIDE PROJECTS and EXTRACURRICULARS

Coursework
· Cloud Computing: Built interconnected SSL secured services in Node.js on AWS instances, exposing and
consuming RESTful HTTP APIs, storing data on MongoDB.
· Machine Learning: Implemented and tested several types of learning algorithms in MATLAB, including
an image recognition CNN, Bayes classifiers, SVM, Q-learning and SARSA.
· Operating Systems: Built a multithreaded HTTP server in C, which used three different QoS models:
FIFO, SJF and round robin, then tested and compared these strategies using a variety of data payloads and
thread counts.
· Software Engineering: Used SVN in a team of five to build a Vaadin Android application that consumed
the Google Maps API, allowing a user to place local annotations and see other users’ contributions.
Side Projects
· Cataclysm-DDA: Cataclysm is an open-source video game. Contributed C++ code via git to create a new
UI menu and backend structure allowing a player to minimize key presses. Designed the code to be easily
extensible so other developers could create similar features. Feature is in use by over 20,000 active users.
· Weather Analysis Deliverable: Built a Node.js server, web scrapers and data modeling scripts to parse
data from a public weather service API periodically and display hourly historical aggregations using plot.ly.
· LeetCode Competitions: 91st percentile ranking. Tested on complexity analysis and algorithms skills.
