RESEARCH AND TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE
Graduate Research / Teaching Assistant, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX — 2020 – Present
- Built the monitoring and visual analytics web application for the REPACSS HPC cluster — full cluster coverage, 110 CPU and 8 GPU nodes — ingesting Slurm job state, node telemetry, and power draw for job-outcome prediction and operational forensics; traced a cluster-wide thermal incident back to the single user account whose jobs caused it.
- Developed a JWST NIRCam photometry and frame-quality pipeline (program PID 1666) that flags degraded frames automatically, producing eclipse-timing measurements for an astronomy collaboration and a published conference paper.
- Delivered the rigid pavement technical support platform for TxDOT Research Project 0-7147 (Phase III), rebuilding the TxCRCP-ME design engine from a legacy Electron/Excel system into a Next.js application with interactive dashboards and geospatial performance analytics.
- Designed interactive visual analytics tools in D3.js and React for IoT attack-behavior data, letting analysts trace multi-stage attack sequences that summary statistics obscured.
- Engineered passive traffic-fingerprinting and behavioral detection methods for IoT device identification and crypto ransomware, published across four peer-reviewed conferences.
