Technical Experience

Powerlifting Metrics (Python) December 2014 – Present
Work In Progress Independent
-Analyzed user performance and applied curve fitting techniques to interpolate future deadlift performance with 80% certainty by applying growth patterns extracted from renowned agendas.

Utilizing Rationalization for String Approximations/URSA (Python) February 2015 – Present
https://github.com/andrewtong/Ursa Independent
-Developed a fuzzy string approximation algorithm that applies numerical estimation techniques to circumvent usage of performance costly algorithms such as the Levenshtein distance to achieve runtimes up to 3 times as fast compared to similar software without sacrificing precision.
-Devised innovative partitioning techniques that replicate a breadth-first search approach to expedite runtime by over 70%.
-Implemented algorithms for letter swapping, corrections, deletions, and insertions managed by an intelligent scoring system to efficiently filter out irrelevant characters allowing URSA to handle complex string matching cases.

Smart Buyer (Java/EBay Finding API/PostgreSQL/JDBC/Guava) January 2015 – February 2015
https://github.com/andrewtong/SmartBuyer Independent
-Designed self-learning software to efficiently scan through EBay listings to store pricing information in an SQL database and apply statistical computations to search for underpriced items.
-Implemented algorithms to minimize search redundancies, parse listing titles comprehensively, and recognize seller errors, averaging a daily increase of relevant search results by over 35%.
-Generated metadata across all listings to predict the marketability and profitability of searched items, reducing the likelihood of making an unprofitable purchase by 90%.
