Data Scientist at GridX

Technology / Software / Internet

I am a senior at Cal Poly who is majoring Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science. I am really passionate about the application of mathematics and statistics as it related to Big Data. I have worked as a Spark developer for over a year now at a company called Gridx in San Jose. Gridx processes large amounts of smart-meter data for utility companies. I have worked in developing distributed applications for data analysis. I have a multitude of projects in machine learning. I have done research on new applications of neural networks. My senior project is based on a paper published last year, Deep Unsupervised Learning using Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics (Sohl-Dickstein 2015).
