Curriculum Vitae

Caspia Technologies

Research & Development Engineer

Applied CV/R&D role focused on PCB and microelectronics inspection, AutoBOM and counterfeit-detection research, dataset engineering, technical delivery, and project leadership.

• -Contributed to AutoBOM and counterfeit-detection R&D programs that converted PCB imagery into structured component, marking, text, orientation, and inspection metadata through computer vision, OCR, classification, segmentation, and visual-association workflows.
• -Helped develop surface-mount component detection and classification and board or component-marking recognition subsystems, producing itemized outputs with class labels, localization, orientation, text or marking contents, and component-to-reference-designator associations.
• -Built and supported YOLO-based IC/chip detection and counterfeit or anomaly-detection prototypes, including pin-counting, IC surface anomaly analysis, and augmentation experiments for scarce defective or counterfeit examples.
• -Expanded a derived PCB vendor-logo and marking dataset to approximately 7,000 instances across approximately 1,300 marking types and helped scale manual annotation work to approximately 300,000 total labels across components, markings, text, orientation, masks/OBBs, and OCR-support metadata.
• -Authored an independent approximately 40-page multimodal inspection feasibility study covering SWIR, infrared, X-ray, and other sensing methods; helped justify acquisition of a high-end SWIR imaging station and established early experimental imaging workflows.
• -Produced weekly technical presentations and official monthly SBIR deliverables; onboarded and directed junior engineers across Physical Assurance workstreams supporting customer, government, and commercialization milestones.
• -Served as Entrepreneurial Lead for a seven-week NSF I-Corps commercialization effort, conducting 100+ stakeholder interviews to evaluate AutoBOM and counterfeit-detection market fit across electronics manufacturing, inspection, procurement, recycling, and supply-chain security.

Florida Institute for Cybersecurity Research

Research Assistant

Hardware-assurance research foundation in PCB inspection, image processing, dataset construction, annotation, and ML experimentation.

• -Supported early hardware-assurance and PCB inspection research that later expanded into AutoBOM and counterfeit-detection workstreams, contributing across dataset construction, annotation, image processing, and ML experimentation.
• -Developed PCB image auto-scaling and resolution-estimation workflows using reference-object detection, PCB boundary detection, edge/contour analysis, and known physical-reference geometry to estimate image PPI under inconsistent capture conditions.
• -Built the initial PCB vendor-logo and marking dataset, curating approximately 3,000 examples across approximately 800 marking types for downstream vendor-logo, standards-marking, and board-marking recognition.
• -Produced approximately 70,000 PCB annotations across components, markings, and text-related metadata, including localization, orientation, and class labels.
• -Explored GAN-based synthetic counterfeit/defect generation for hardware-assurance datasets, identifying scarce confirmed negative examples and high visual variability as primary blockers to usable augmentation.

Admiral

Account Development Representative to Customer Success Representative

• -Supported outbound sales, lead generation, client qualification, customer support, issue resolution, and account-satisfaction workflows for a SaaS platform serving digital publishers.
• -Managed publisher and visitor support communication to maintain account satisfaction and resolve product-related issues.
• -Built early experience translating customer needs, product issues, and account feedback between users and internal teams.
