  In concert with the Director of Product Development and Executive Directors, we lead the development for a constellation of exceptional and diverse teams of engineers, designers, community managers, and product managers. Our teams collaboratively design and develop open source products that intake, present, store, and process the plethora of free knowledge data at modern web scales. We design platforms and features to improve access to and retrieval of open knowledge and open data; while optimising for user experiences with all WikiMedia related tools and services. The engineering, product, communication, design, and research teams closely collaborate at WIkiMedia Deutschland in both Deutschland specific wiki operations and surrounding linked open data systems for the free enterprise of public knowledge. Some of our foci are language preservation, diversity team building in the knowledge economy, natural language processing, semantic and structured knowledge management, and system architecture optimisation.

  • Nov 2018 - Present

  I am a data scientist working for the Space Science Institute Centers for Data Science and Extrasolar Planetary Systems. I apply machine learning and the data science workflow to astrophysical calibration and quality assurance pipelines. My projects focus on optimal extraction of information to from exoplanet atmospheres and infrared detectors. I apply machine learning to both image analysis and time series observations. The end goal of my projects are to maximally extract scientific information from 1000s of images simultaneously. I develop machine learning solutions for the Hubble, James Webb, Kepler, and TESS Space Telescopes. I also teach online learning seminars and data science boot camps to underrepresented communities. My research and consulting projects extensively involved with computer vision and remote sensing technologies. My research projects involved astrophysical source detection+measurement, space telescope calibration, as well as image and time series anomaly detection. Show less

• Technical Workshop Coordinator, Developer, and Educator

  • Feb 2019 - Sep 2020

  I volunteer with City.AI to develop and deploy online learning for data science seminars, workshops, bootcamps. We cover the full data science tool set: Python & R programming, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, data management, data processing, data visualization, and more. We have hosted dozens of workshops, both online and in person, provided by our team members and community volunteers. We have fostered an online community of hundreds of participants, volunteers, presenters, and developers. Furthermore, we created a fully remote operation using Slack, Trello, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Zoom to bring AI experts from around the world to communicate with and teach a widely diverse community. Moreover, our team is proud to have fostered the development of several AI start ups to solve local problems within our participants' communities. I collaborated with scientists in the Levant on sub-national economic indicators for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. I combined my science research using satellite observations with my drive to improve the lives of the average world citizen. We built our collaboration with economists and scientists in the Levant Region to develop models for economic indicators from Google Maps and the ESA Sentinel Satellite Network. I enjoy developing machine learning systems for both space and economic research. Show less

  • Aug 2019 - Feb 2020

  As a remote consultant, I developed computer vision deep learning solutions for live (i.e. rapid) augmented reality applications for live, broadcast TV. Our applications include human pose estimation and 3D coordinate measurements from monocular and stereoscopic imaging. We are currently working with producers to deploy our new technologies for live broadcast on news and entertainment television.

  I am investigating and calibrating the full functionality of the NIRISS and NIRCam instruments for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST is the next generation space telescope to supercede the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which has revolutionized our understanding of the universe from the beginning of time to the beginning of humanity. By working with the JWST team before the launch (Spring 2019), I will optimize the instruments to study exoplanet atmospheres and probe the molecular abundances of the alien worlds. I develop machine learning solutions for the Hubble, James Webb, Kepler, and TESS Space Telescopes. I also teach online learning seminars and data science boot camps to underrepresented communities.

  I investigated the molecular abundances of exoplanet atmospheres to probe and understand the chemistry of these alien worlds. By using the largest telescopes on Earth and in space, I was able to discover the first detection of water vapour on a small planet outside of our Solar System.

  I developed mathematical algorithms to computational solve for exact solutions to numerical differential equations at specific nodal locations. This permitted us to precisely integrate differential equations at predefined or specific locations in the system. The applications range from quantum mechanics to stability of complex systems over time.
