Experience
Research Software Engineer
Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit, UCL (December 2023 – Present)
- Spearheaded the open-source Bonsai.ML project, integrating machine learning into Bonsai-Rx (C#/.NET) for real-time analysis.
- Built and optimized a Bayesian state-space point-process decoder using TorchSharp, enabling real-time brain-computer interfaces and fast, millisecond inference latency.
Research Software Engineer
NeuroGEARS, London, UK (September 2023 – December 2023)
- Consulted with academic research labs to develop and implement custom software solutions for real-time experimental control, data acquisition, and automated behavioural analysis.
Graduate Student Researcher
University of Toronto, Canada (September 2016 – May 2023)
- Developed BonZeb, an open-source software suite for zebrafish tracking and closed-loop stimulation.
- Designed and implemented supervised/unsupervised ML data analysis pipelines (pose estimation, clustering, classification, regression), improving experimental data throughput and manual data annotation time.
Cofounder - Web3 Developer
Ledger Macro Inc., USA (May 2022 – March 2023)
- Cofounded a web3 startup and built a python application for decentralized cryptogaming using OpenGL, web3.py, and Solidity.
- Implemented custom art generation algorithms for automated construction of NFTs and built a web UI for interacting with NFTs.
