WORK EXPERIENCE
SAN DIEGO SUPERCOMPUTER CENTER
Intern (Programmer/Analyst II)
 Analyzed massive Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) datasets in
MATLAB to understand the structure of the LIDAR datasets.
 Tuned DB2 spatial grid index for the LIDAR datasets.
 Implemented different physical organizations for the LIDAR datasets
based on equi-depth histograms and Hilbert scans. Designed and
performed experiments to evaluate performance of these
organizations on parallel DB2.
 Analyzed query-load to identify opportunities for improving query
performance including caching and pre-computed derived products.
AGNIK, LLC.
Intern (Software Engineer II)
 Designed an Intrusion Detection System (IDS).
 Designed and analyzed Distributed Privacy Preserving (DPP) data
mining algorithms for the IDS including a novel DPP approximate
scan detection algorithm.
 Collaborated with Univ. of Minnesota researchers to develop privacy
preserving trend detection algorithms.
 Led a team of four engineers to implement the DPP anomaly
