Research & Development

January 2001 – August 2005
Algorithm Development
Developed a novel algorithm based on the human immune system that segments the 3D MRI image of the human brain in less than a minute. It presently delivers the highest accuracy at the fastest rate.

May 1997 – December 2000
AIS/NIDS Research
Used Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) to develop a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS). Used C++ on Windows both as an application, and as an NDIS network driver for sniffing packets. Developed an AIS that produces high pattern recognition accuracy while requiring very low memory.

Experience

Fidelis Security Systems

January 2006 – Now
Senior Research Engineer

Used statistical tools and various optimization techniques to accelerate Fidelis XPS recognition personal identifying information as well as other data types that XPS prevents its leakage. Developed a new hashing algorithm to recognize partial document leakages. Conducted various researches and implementations of mathematical nature required for XPS. Used GNU tools, mysql on Linux Redhat and CENTOS.

Global Enterprise Technologies Group

December 2004 – March 2005
Consultant and Algorithm Developer
Used image processing, image understanding and clustering techniques (including R*-trees and cR-trees) to develop a large scale (over 20 million) record fingerprint-indexing algorithm that runs over low cost hardware. Tools used include Matlab, Octave, and standard multithreaded C++ (STL) on Linux.

University of Miami

January 2001 – December 2003
