CO-OP
AI Researcher
Over 16 months in 2022-2023 I worked as an AI researcher at Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.. My main role was to support a research project focusing on deep learning solutions for bandwidth predictions in computer networks, achieving less than 5% error using a long short-term memory model. I also implemented a Django-based database system, contributing to a 15% advancement in project milestones. Lastly, I developed data collection methodologies for over 60% of the team's projects. This led to two publications over my co-op term, which are linked below:

INTERNSHIP
Sourcing Assistant and Digital Marketing Intern
Over the summer of 2020, I had the opportunity to work for GAO Tek Inc. as a sourcing assistant and digital marketing intern. My main role was to design and create marketing strategies to promote company products. I also had the opportunity to communicate with commercial suppliers to establish orders of 100+ items. From this internship, I learned to work with people from all over the world with different backgrounds, which I found very interesting.
