I'm a forward-thinking computer science student at Virginia Tech, driven by a passion for programming, big data, and machine learning. Currently, I'm participate in an impactful SMS anti-spam project that aims to make digital communication safer and more efficient. This opportunity not only allows me to leverage my technical skills for real-world problem-solving, but also to collaborate with my coworkers and experience professional Agile project management via Scrum.

As a part of our company RnD team, my responsibilities are researching, brainstorming and developing core structures and data pipeline of the project:

• Data Crawling and Preprocessing: Developing mulitple tools for collecting, cleaning, and generating data that replicate real-world SMS for train/test dataset.
• Logical Filtering: Programming a multi-layer, rule-based filter to detect and mitigate spam SMS more effectively. This initiative led to a 20% reduction in false positives, and 4 times increase in processing speed.
• Technologies: Python, Big Data Tools (Airflow, Spark), Scrum Management (Jira), Plotly, MySQL, Apache Superset.
• Scrum Management: Actively participate in Scrum ceremonies and use Jira for backlog management, enhancing team agility and project tracking.

Studying computer science at Virginia Tech, I'm immersed in the fascinating world of knowledge. My academic interests are fueled by a desire to explore big data processing and machine learning.
