This project was a collaborate project along with researchers from the University of Lisbon. The goal of the project was to develop a learning-based system to perform automatic expansion of acronyms in multiple languages. I ported the system, originally developed for Linux, to MacOS; annotated the Portuguese data sets; evaluated the effectiveness of the methods. Along the way, I gained experience in Python programming and managing library dependencies, learned the basics of git and GitHub… Show more This project was a collaborate project along with researchers from the University of Lisbon.

Political Campaign for New York State Assembly
-
May 2020 - Jun 2020
I worked on a political campaign to elect Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas as the representative of New York's thirty-fourth state district in the New York State Assembly. As this was done during COVID, most of my job consisted with meeting with Ms. Gonazez-Rojas and her staff virtually and phone banking.
