Experience

Research Assistant Intern

UPMC Magee

Worked as part of a research team focused on developing a machine learning model to predict the development of cancer in dense breast tissue using mammogram analysis. My responsibilities included handling, organizing, and preparing medical imaging data for analysis. I regularly used specialized software to apply masks to mammograms and segment image regions. Additionally, I worked with Python scripts utilizing libraries such as NumPy, OpenCV, and scikit-image to apply image thresholds and enhance visualization. I occasionally modified these scripts to meet specific research requirements and adjust threshold parameters based on image quality and structure.

Interests

Apart from studying IT and data analytics, I enjoy staying active and exercising. I play in multiple soccer leagues, regularly go to the gym, and enjoy running. In the winter, I avidly ski and snowboard.

When I’m indoors, I enjoy playing guitar and learning new songs. I’m always interested in learning new things and often find projects to fix or build, especially around the house. I also spend some of my free time exploring the latest advancements in IT and data analytics. When it’s time to relax, I enjoy watching sci-fi movies and television shows.
