Experience

School of Global Policy & Strategy
Feb 2024 - Present
Research Assitant
La Jolla, California

In my role, I was responsible for assisting an in-depth investigation and research initiative focused on the impact of social factors on Solar PV Projects across the United States.
My key contributions included:

Conducting comprehensive analyses to explore the relationship between social dynamics and the success of Solar PV Projects.
Employing advanced statistical techniques such as correlation, regression tests, and robustness checks to pinpoint and verify the root causes affecting these projects.
Developing interactive visualizations to facilitate a deeper understanding of the influential factors in various regions, enhancing the team's ability to derive meaningful insights

Global Genesis
Aug 2023 - Jan 2024
Software Engineer
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Remote)

Worked on R&D projects with our client Nabati Foods, having done some geo-spacial analysis and data mapping from a dataset of 1000+ locations to covert using the information we are given to a latitude and longitude coordinate in order to plot data on a geomap.

Planned architecture and layout for a large MYSQL Machine Learning Project using MYSQL Heatwave to perform sales prediction.

Center For Community Energy (CCE)
Feb 2023 - Sep 2023
Data Science Intern
San Diego, CA

I created an isochrone app to visualize the distances reachable from public transportation in San Diego. This map will be presented to the county to encourage the use of e-bikes over cars. More on the project here.
I also co-authored on a collaborative report concerning the isochron app, which will be presented to the county to encourage the use of e-bikes and public transportation over cars.

Collaborating with Open Doors, we are working on databases to parse and prepare large amounts of data. Our goal is to send a Mail Merge to plot owners, encouraging them to use their free land to build solar panels.

Nippon Telegraph and Technology (NTT)
Jul 2022 - Aug 2022
Intern/Apprentice
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I recently completed testing on an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system that was set to go live for Celcom, a phone service provider. Additionally, I conducted training in IT automation, including instruction in shell scripting, REST API, POSTMAN, and Python. During the course of the IVR project, I also had the opportunity to shadow my supervisor as he worked on the project using POSTMAN.

Research

Python (Xarray, Cartopy, Pytorch-LIightning)
Sep 2023 - Mar 2024

Continuing from the reproduction of Climate Bench we worked on improving upon the baselines by implementing more complex variations of the models intorduced. I specifically worked on a Deep Kernel Learning Regression, a Hybird model that combines the capabilities of a Gaussian Process and a Neural Network improving upon the baseline Gaussian Process.

Python (Pytorch)
Feb - Mar 2024

Designed a character-level music generator using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The model was trained on a dataset of 1000+ songs and was able to generate new music based on the patterns it learned from the training data.
