Work Experience

Design Verification Engineer (Contract)
MICROSOFT | Oct 2022 - Present
Ruby
Python
C++
SystemVerilog
System Design

Performing pre-silicon validation of hardware root of trust using SystemVerilog, Ruby, Python, C++, ARM architecture, and SoC design.Updated validation testbench and found bugs in silicon IP to enable the team to hit a key bringup milestone using SystemVerilog, C++, and ARMv7 assembly programming. Wrote complex test scenario to verify in HDL simulation the ability of the hardware root of trust to be boot-able by firmware using SystemVerilog, C++, ARM assembly programming. Updated verification infrastructure to perform HW/SW debug of the hardware root of trust RTL model. This enabled faster test development time and debugging, increasing productivity of the entire team.

Plotly

Performed statistical analysis to determine product strategy for Bot Manager using Python, plotly, Jupyter Notebooks, and SQL.Helped to optimize the product by performing false-negative risk analysis of various bot detection features within Bot Manager. Resolved customer issues with Bot Manager by recommending changes to the complex features of the product to improve customer experience (fewer false-positives or false-negatives).

Movie Review Star Rating Predictor Using Multi-Category Classifier – Developed bidirectional LSTM with pre-trained GloVE word embedding using keras that classified movie review using Net Promoter Score (NPS). Trained model on 62,000+ movie reviews scraped from imdb.com using request, Selenium, and Beautifulsoup. Deployed model as Flask web application that accepts from user movie title and freeform text review, returning predicted NPS for new movie review. Populated reviews and user’s desired score into database to further train model.
