About

Joshua Eimer is a highly skilled Software Engineer with a strong background in computer science and statistics. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a Bachelor of Science in Statistics at Binghamton University, with an expected graduation date of May 2020. At present, Joshua is serving as a Software Engineer Intern at Capital One, where he has been instrumental in leveraging Snowflake, Pandas, and DynamoDB to perform batch ETL and integrate them into a data pipeline. He has also built interfaces for interacting with the database in GraphQL and Node.js, implemented retry logic, and refactored for scalability, resulting in a significant improvement in time and memory performance. Overall, he has managed to speed up the process by a factor of 10. Prior to his current role, Joshua worked as a Residential Computer Consultant at Binghamton University's Information Technology Services, where he was responsible for resolving technology support requests from residents living on campus. He also ensured that printing in the library ran smoothly and responded to any in-person requests at the help desk. Joshua has also served as a Computer Science Intern at the United States Department of Defense, where he implemented and benchmarked machine learning models, including SVMs, Neural Networks, and Random Forests, to detect anomalous events in time-series data. Additionally, he utilized domain expertise and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to generate free-response features, including sentiment, tone, conversational structure, and high-dimensional word embeddings. He also generated labels for unsupervised data by performing dimension reduction utilizing Principle Component Analysis (PCA) to enable clustering. Joshua improved analytic runtimes through parallel processing, data structure refactoring, and algorithmic changes. Joshua's technical skills include Software Engineering, Snowflake, NodeJS, Javascript, Pandas, ETL, NLP, ML, and Neural Networks. With 3.86 years of relevant experience, he is a seasoned professional and a valuable asset to any team.
