Math/CS/Stats @ University of Michigan


About Me

I am currently a senior at the University of Michigan, majoring in Honors Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science. Last Summer I did an internship at MathWorks on the Data Science Types Team. Previously, I spent my first year of my undergraduate degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, after which I transferred. I am a Boston native, originally from a town called Wellesley (Maybe you have heard of Wellesley College?)

Projects

...
StockXGuess

Developed a web-based game using the React.js framework, where the player guesses the price of ten random sneakers from popular brands on StockX and receives a score. Created a RESTful API in Spring Boot to read/update sneaker and user data from a postgreSQL database. Deployed locally using proxy tunneling.

...
Black-Scholes Options Pricer/Tool

This Python program computes the theoretical price of an options contract using the Black-Scholes model. Used BeautifulSoup to scrape real-time risk free rates and historical volatility. Used the TDAmeritrade API to log real time bid/ask spreads and last trade price data to the terminal.

...
MorphNet

Developed a 1D-CNN in Pytorch to detect sleep apnea in patients wearing Apple Watches using SpO2 time-series data. Achieved an accuracy of 97.47% on the test set, a precision of 98.92%, and recall of 97.84%. Pruned the model to ensure low latency and efficient deployment on IoT devices. Full Paper
