Languages used include: Java , C++, and Python. Tools used include: Gitlab, Artifactory, SonarQube, Fortify, ActiveMQ, and Gitlab CI/CD.
Worked as a software engineer on a cybersecurity team working on classified projects.
Worked for Siemens Energy through the University of Florida's Integrated Product and Process Design (IPPD) program on an interdisciplinary team. Our goal was to develop a process and associated desktop, mobile device, and web server applications to manage the process of efficiently adding metadata to gas turbine field service hardware images. The image sources may come from digital cameras, including cellphones and tablets, and specialty inspection devices such as borescope, infrared cameras, smartphone cameras, and X-Ray systems. For development we implemented the Agile Scrum Methodology.
I participated in an internship funded by the National Science Foundation. I am worked alongside a Computer Science PhD student Ozgur Kafali and accomplished Professor Dr. Laurie Williams at North Carolina State University. Our research topic was The Discrepancies Between Security Breaches and Policy. The goal of our research was to refine security policies and regulations based on identified gaps/holes with respect to breaches. I mainly worked on creating an automated process for security breach refinement. We wrote about findings in a paper titled Corba: Connecting Regulations and Breaches Using the Crowd and submitted it to the HotSos (Hot Topics in Science of Security)'18. It was accepted to the Poster Track of the HotSoS 2018.
I participated in a three month internship sponsored by the U.S. Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation. Worked with accomplished Professors Dr. Pissinou and Dr. Iyengar to complete cutting edge research. With their help I was able to create a mobile application the increases user location privacy via Location Based Services. My partner (PhD student Abdur Shahid) and I wrote a paper called PPVC: Privacy Preserving Cells for Location-Based Services on our findings which is accepted by the International Conference on Computing, Networking, and Communications(ICNC). I presented my findings at the ICNC conference in Silicon Valley January 2017.
Founded organization alongside my brother Harold, who is a student at the University of Miami. I worked with a team to ensure that deadlines were met and company was running smoothly. Opened a chapter of the organization at the University of Miami. Consistently met deadlines and requirements for all production work orders. Refurbished donated electronic devices and sent them to third-world countries. Global Sigma has most recently aided Syrian refugees.
Travelled the world playing professional tennis tournaments. Discovered new cultures and met new people. Reached a high ranking of #533 in the world. Won Most Promising Newcomer of the Year at the Dow Corning 100k in Midland, MI in 2012.
GPA: 3.25
I was born in the West African Country of Cameroon in 1996. My family and I moved to the United States when I was two years old to flee the political unrest at the time. In 2015, I became a citizen and in May 2018, I will earn my Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science. I consider it an amazing advantage to have been raised and educated in the United States. Because of my upbringing, I understand the importance of continuous hard work and perseverance.
When I was seven years old, I started playing tennis and I fell in love with sport shortly thereafter. For the next nine years, I would travel across the country playing tournaments. I was fortunate enough to visit 37 states and Canada. I have had the opportunity to meet a variety of people from different countries across the world. I believe that this experience has shaped into the person I am today.
In Spring 2013, I started my collegiate tennis career at Clemson University in Clemson, SC. After eight months at Clemson, I decided to begin my professional career. I reached a high rank of #533 in the world and competed in prestigious tournaments such as the U.S. Open. In March 2016, I was seriously injured with rotator cuff tendonitis which put a dampener on my tennis career. Thus, I put my focus on academics.
In August 2014, I turned my hobby of tinkering with computers into a non-profit organization. Global Sigma is an organization that I cofounded with my brother a senior at the University of Miami, and my uncle a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology. The mission of Global Sigma is to help underprivileged students obtain the technology they need to be successful in school such as laptops, printers, and scanners. Through our organization, we receive old electronic devices from donors and refurbish them for these students to use. For the past two years, I’ve worked alongside my brother as the Vice President of Global Sigma and through this experience, I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the use of technology as a tool to help those less fortunate.
In the summer of 2016, I participated in an internship funded by the Department of Defense and the National Science Foundation located at Florida International University (FIU). During this internship, I learned many valuable skills such as the ability to create a mobile application via Android Studios. This particular project was initially daunting because I had never attempted such a task before. I had to problem solve quickly and efficiently to complete the tasks at hand. The application I created alongside PhD student Abdur Bin Shahid, was able to generate an algorithm that can be used to increase user location privacy on Location Based Services via spatial obfuscation. This research project generated a paper final titled: Privacy Preserving Voronoi Cells which was submitted to the International Conference on Computing, Networking, and Communications (ICNC). The paper was eventually published and I had the privilege to present my paper at a conference in Silicon Valley in January of 2017.
In the summer of 2017, I participated in an internship funded by the National Science Foundation at North Carolina State University (NCSU) in Raleigh, NC. I worked alongside a Computer Science graduate student at NCSU as well as with my faculty mentor, Dr. Laurie Williams. Our research topic was The Discrepancies Between Security Breaches and Policy. The goal of our research was to refine security policies and regulations based on identified gaps/holes with respect to the security breaches. I worked mainly on creating an automated process for security breach refinement.
Aside, from my research experience, I also have industry work experience. During my senior year at the University of Florida, I was accepted into the Integrated Product and Process Design (IPPD) program. In this program, I was assigned to a company to developed software with a team of five other talented engineers. Our sponsor company for this project is Siemens Energy. Our goal was to develop a mobile and desktop application to manage the process of efficiently adding metadata to gas turbine field service hardware images. The image sources may come from digital cameras, including cellphones and tablets, and specialized equipment such as borescopes, infrared cameras, and X-Ray systems. The product was completed and delivered to Siemens Energy in April 2018.
