About me
Hudson River Trading
I worked on high-frequency trading of futures, Treasuries, and crypto.
Asana
I interned during the summer of 2015, then worked remotely part-time throughout my senior year of college. I started full-time in July 2016 on the mobile API team. Some of my work was documented publicly:
- 2017 Webby Award for Asana Mobile
- Making Asana’s API better
- February 2016 Asana iOS app updates
- April 2017 Asana mobile app updates
- Boards in Asana
Duke
I graduated from Duke University in May 2016 with a double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Computer Science, and a minor in Economics.
- Programming
- For our course on databases, my friends and I wrote a relational algebra interpreter (demo, code).
- For my course on computational geometry, I studied RRT-ANNs, a word I made up to refer to RRTs (rapidly-exploring random trees) that use an approximate nearest-neighbor subroutine in place of exact nearest-neighbor search. I visualized their behavior and wrote some (probably wrong) proofs.
- For my course on robotics, my friends and I wrote a robotic arm controller for the Amazon Picking Challenge. You can see a video of it in action, as well as the code.
- For the same course on robotics, I wrote a controller for a simulated robot arm (video, code, writeup).
- For our course on compilers, my friends and I implemented a Tiger compiler in SML as we worked through Andrew Appel’s book.
- Cell biology
- I worked with Dr. Sharyn Endow to study motor proteins in Drosophila.
- We published “The kinesin-13 KLP10A motor regulates oocyte spindle length and affects EB1 binding without altering microtubule growth rates” in Biology Open (2014).
- I gave an informal talk about some classical genetic work that I did in fruit flies.
- Misc
- I noticed that some powerlifting state records were unexpectedly low and was able to set new ones in the USAPL GA Teen (18-19), 123 lb class. My lifts were 259 lb squat, 159.8 lb bench press, and 270.1 lb deadlift.
