- SUMMARY: M.S. Computer Science graduate with experience in machine learning and distributed systems; interested in applied research and building scalable services.
- EDUCATION: M.S., Computer Science, University of Washington (2024). B.S., Computer Science, Oregon State University (2022).
- RESEARCH EXPERIENCE: Research Assistant, UW Data Systems Lab (2023-2024) - Built a prototype scheduler in Python/C++ for GPU clusters and wrote experiments; results showed better throughput compared to baseline.
- INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE: Software Engineer Intern, Cascade Analytics (Summer 2023) - Implemented features for a recommendation service using PyTorch and REST APIs; improved model inference speed and reduced errors; worked with a 4-person team.
- PROJECTS + SKILLS: GraphText - Combined GNN embeddings with a transformer classifier for document tagging; achieved good accuracy on a public dataset; deployed a demo on AWS EC2. Skills: Python, C++, Java, SQL, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Spark, Linux, Docker, Kubernetes.
Overview
- Add specific metrics and baselines (latency, throughput, accuracy, cost) to make impact credible.
- Clarify scope: workload sizes, cluster scale, and what you personally owned vs. the team.
- Tighten and organize skills/projects to avoid generic claims and make strengths obvious.
Suggestions
Rewrite to include the cluster scale, baseline, and measured gain. Example: "Built a Python/C++ GPU-cluster scheduler (32x A100) using priority + backfilling; improved job throughput 18% and reduced p95 queue time 22% vs. FIFO across 6 production-like traces."
"Better throughput" is non-specific; reviewers need the size of the system and the magnitude of improvement to judge research rigor and relevance.

"Built a prototype scheduler in Python/C++ for GPU clusters... results showed better throughput compared to baseline."
Replace vague performance claims with concrete latency/error metrics and how you achieved them. Example: "Profiled PyTorch service, added TorchScript + batcher; cut p95 inference latency from 210ms to 145ms and reduced 5xx rate from 1.4% to 0.6% over 2 weeks."
"Improved" and "reduced errors" lack numbers and method; quantified outcomes plus the approach signal real engineering depth.

"improved model inference speed and reduced errors"
Clarify what "implemented features" means by naming 1-2 features and your ownership area. Example: "Owned retrieval feature store integration (Redis) and added 3 ranking signals; shipped behind a feature flag and monitored via Grafana."
Hiring teams look for ownership and deliverables; generic phrasing can read like minor contributions even if the work was substantial.

Quantify the project results and specify dataset/metric. Example: "Trained GNN+Transformer tagger on arXiv CS abstracts (120k docs); achieved 0.84 micro-F1 vs. 0.78 TF-IDF baseline; exported ONNX and deployed a FastAPI demo on EC2."
"Good accuracy" is subjective; naming the dataset, size, metric, and baseline makes the project evaluable and comparable.

Reformat skills into grouped categories and remove weak signals. Example: "Languages: Python, C++, SQL. ML: PyTorch (primary), TensorFlow (basic). Data/Infra: Spark, Docker, Kubernetes, Linux."
A flat, broad skills list can look keyword-stuffed; grouping and proficiency hints improve credibility and scanability.
