About Me



Hey I'm Justin!


I love to develop algorithms and make applicable projects to ease the world and make our society a better place. I love to work on projects with my friends, and learn more everyday to improve what I can do.


Being a programmer for more than 5 years now, I am excited to learn and experiment in AI, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality!


Contact me below and we can grab coffee or boba, maybe I can spoil you with my puns because trust me I got a latte of them 😂

Experience

Cisco Systems

Software Development Intern

  • Registered devices automatically using Jenkins and Python to Cisco Spark so infrastructure team does not have to manually register them after device updates.
  • Used Cobbler to create virtual machines and update servers to provide others accessibility to a virtual machine when they need it.
  • Created automated scripts using Ansible to install OpenStack and AWS so others can run a script to automatically configure these cloud platform settings
  • Created a script that allows others to create instances and VLANs in a OpenStack Cloud Platform that route and communicate to each other properly.

Alarm.com

Software Engineering Intern

  • Wrote unit tests in C# and SQL scripts to check if backend SQL database returns function calls properly.
  • Refined ember add-ons by deleting devDependencies which will decrease build/compile time of programs by up to 80%.
  • Configured formatting using a code formatter called Prettier so other programmers can code without worrying about code formats.
  • Enhanced User Interaction on Customer and Dealer Page by using Ember.js and C#, impacting many daily customers.

iD Tech

Computer Science Instructor

  • Made weekly lesson plans and modified course to fit students’ needs.
  • Mentored each student to create individual projects by the end of each weekly session.

Projects

Logo Detector - Backend

Machine learning model that given an input of an image containing a logo of a company, the model will blur it out in real time. Model was based on a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) that was inspired by Darknet and VGG models. Used YOLO algorithm to scan the image in real time and used python library scikit to blur part of an image given a bounding box. I worked on training CNN using YOLO algorithm.

Movie-text Predictor - Backend

Machine learning model that predicts if a movie review is rated "really negative", "negative", "neutral", "positive", or "really positive". Coded in Python using Sklearn library to test different models for highest accuracy and F measure. I worked on testing different models and found out SVM was the best model compared to other machine learning models.
