Work
-
2024.05 - Present Bioinformatics Data Analyst
Huntsman Cancer Institute
Developed a full-stack web application for visualizing and analyzing single-cell RNA sequencing data (scRNA-seq) using JavaScript-based technologies (React JS, Node JS, HDF5, Git, Yarn, Linux, Docker). Analyzed single-cell data to identify significant of genes expression differences across cell types based on responses and time point; performed two-way ANOVA to find the interactive term. Implementing semi-supervised learning (Leiden) to analyze scRNA-seq data to track transcriptional state shifts, expansions, emerging, and disappearing states in patient tumor samples over time and response to therapy.

2022.04 - 2023.06 Software Engineer
Rakuten Mobile Corp
Designed and developed an auto-monitoring dashboard for real-time Linux server health management,particularly for 4G and 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) data analysis, to improve monitoring, enhance network performance, and facilitate informed decision-making. This includes: Designed an automated system to log in, collect health data, and capture resources, users, and connectivity every 4 hours. Analyzed and visualized data on a Streamlit dashboard. Summarized weekly KPIs for cluster status and connectivity, and identified anomalies for troubleshooting.

2021.04 - 2022.03 Tokyo, Japan
Research Assistant
Developed computer vision-based student engagement detection in online classes. Performed face detection using MTCNN and emotion detection using Mini–Xception. Analyzed the final results and created a dashboard called MOEMO to visualized the result in more interactive way. Generated after-class report that report comprehensively details students’ affective states, concentration, engagement, and intervention time for each student.
