Data Science Intern
Parquery
02/2022 - 08/2022
Zurich, Switzerland
As a Data Science Intern at Parquery, I was part of a small development team in a startup setting. I saw firsthand how an agile team can efficiently handle a large workload. We operated on a fast-paced agile schedule, with three-week sprints followed by a week of varied tasks. Here are my main contributions:
- - Participated in the agile process, from planning to stand-ups, client demos, and team retrospectives.
- - Developed solutions to handle big data of data over Google Cloud to process and prepare datasets for further model training.
- - Built and fine-tuned object recognition, object tracking and image classification pipelines, achieving over 97% accuracy.
- - Worked on both back-end (Python, C++, SQL) and front-end (JS, Vus.js) development, fixing bugs and adding new features.
- - Maintaining our environment using tools like Poetry, Docker, and a PostgreSQL database.
Student Research Assistant
Ontology Engineering Group (UPM)
11/2021 - 07/2022
Madrid, Spain
In my role as a Research Assistant at the Ontology Engineering Group (OEG) I carried out research focused on classifying research software for enhanced discoverability and reproducibility. This work was substantial enough to form the basis of my master's thesis, which introduced a new way to automatically sort software by what it does and the scientific area it's used in. Here are the key outcomes:
- - Developed a novel classification system that intelligently grouped software repositories without the need for retraining classifiers when new categories were added.
- - Devised strategies for incorporating new, labelled datasets and preparing documentation for successful software project classification.
- - Attained a 92% F1 score during training and a 76% F1 score on the test set, significantly surpassing the state-of-the-art’s 36% score.
- - Successfully incorporated the classification methodology into an existing software metadata extraction framework.
Machine Learning Intern
Ericsson
05/2021 - 08/2021
Budapest, Hungary
As a Machine Learning Intern at Ericsson, I contributed to the enhancement of CodeChecker, focusing on a feature to rate bugs by importance and ease of resolution. This project aimed to streamline the developers' workflow by prioritizing bug fixes:
- - Engaged with senior C++ developers to identify key pain points, leading to a feature design that addressed the top 5 most common bug detection issues.
- - Conducted a comparative analysis of state-of-the-art code representation techniques, (ex. word2vec) and developed an approach for C++.
- - Curated a dataset with 2,000+ instances of bug samples, each manually labelled to distinguish between false positives and negatives, increasing the model's precision by 20%.
- - Developed and tested 5+ ML models, that prioritized the found bugs.
- - Presented findings to senior management that demonstrated a potential 40% reduction in developers' time spent on bug resolution, influencing the adoption of the new tool.
- - Created comprehensive documentation and transitioned the project effectively.
Erlang Developer
Ericsson
02/2020 - 04/2021
Budapest, Hungary
At Ericsson, I was working on the development of telecommunication software with a functional programming language called Erlang. My experience with Erlang started during my bachelor's thesis project when I worked on RefactorErl a static analyser tool, which performs static analysis on Erlang code. I helped set up this tool at Ericsson, which was my first big task here. This project not only introduced me to functional programming but also became the springboard for my first initiative at Ericsson—integrating RefactorErl into the company's internal systems. Here are the tasks I've been involved in:
- - Developing and maintaining robust telecommunication software with Erlang, serving millions of users globally, ensuring high performance and reliability.
- - Implemented test cases covering both unit tests to check individual code pieces and functional tests to ensure the entire system ran smoothly.
- - Handling version control with Git across multiple codebases, ensuring efficient code integration and deployment for consistent and smooth software updates.
- - Using Jira for task management within an Agile framework, to ensure that my work is well-organized and aligned with our team's development.
Teaching Assistant
Eötvös Loránd University
02/2018 - 06/2021
Budapest, Hungary
I worked as a Teacher Assistant at Eötvös Loránd University for 7 semesters, where I taught various practical classes for computer science bachelor’s students. My responsibilities included preparing material and teaching practical class sessions, putting together exams and projects that fit what was taught and offering full support to help students succeed. Here's more about the specific classes:
- - Algorithms and data structures I, II (2 semesters): Guided students through various algorithms and data structures that complemented their lectures. We delved into graph algorithms like Dijkstra's shortest path, Floyd's algorithm, and breadth-first/depth-first search, as well as fundamental structures like linked lists and hash tables. I also introduced sorting algorithms such as quicksort and mergesort, and tree structures like binary search trees and heaps.
- - Web development (3 semesters): Educated students on creating responsive websites, starting from concept wireframes to building functional sites with HTML5 and CSS3. We covered front-end frameworks, user experience fundamentals, and client-side scripting with JavaScript. Students completed two key projects: designing a wireframe and developing a live website, which I evaluated based on a detailed list of technical and design requirements.
- - Theory of computation (2 semesters): Worked with students on exercises related to the foundations of computation theory. This included formal language theory, converting grammars to Chomsky normal form, designing finite state machines, and understanding the principles of Turing machines. We also explored complexity theory and algorithmic decidability to provide a comprehensive understanding of computational limits.
