Get To Know Me
There are so many people in the world who never have the opportunity to pursue the career they love. I’m not one of them. I love what I do and since starting my career in Atlanta, I’m thrilled to say that I’ve learned from so many trained professionals in my field. I know that I still have so much to learn from others in the industry. I’m a hard worker, a team player and excited to see what projects could benefit from my unique skill set.

Academic Experience
Learning and Living
Being a lifelong learner is a trait that is really important to me, and I know that a good education is not just for the schoolyard. Some lessons were learned in the traditional way, while others I have received from professional mentors, industry professionals and in some cases, friends and family. I’d love the opportunity to talk to you about how my academic background could benefit you, so get in touch.

The projects that I have involved:
Developing a Generalizing PageRank algorithm such that recognizing spider traps and avoids the negative impact of spam pages. This generalization enables the elimination of network anomalies- and increases the applicability of the algorithm to an array of new applications in networked data. Through experimental results, it minimizes the effect of network anomalies, and results in a more realistic representation of the network. (PageRank is used for ranking
web pages by Google Co.)Define a novel and efficient distance-based ranking algorithm, called the "Correlation Density Rank" (CDR), which is utilized to derive the hidden communities and leadership structures and also to present an evolution graph of the organizational structure in dynamic networks.
Proposed a novel approach with low complexity to rank alternative
complex networks based on their performances considering occurring positive/negative frequent events as criteria which are capable of discriminating events occurring between important nodes over those
between less significant nodes.Proposed a utility-based novel approach for Ranking Quality of Service and identifying the best service provider in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks by differentiating the quality of service (QoS) and providing a framework for analytical performance evaluation.
Modeled an effective novel method to find the best solution with low computation time using the C D R algorithm on the Virtual Allocation Network (VAN) in order to obtain a Reliability-based Optimization aimed for Task Allocation in Distributed Computing Systems.
