Pranav Sriram

I am a MS/PhD student in Computer Engineering at UIUC. My thesis advisor is Prof. Yuxiong Wang. My research interests focus in the area of computer vision, few-shot learning and meta-learning. During my undergraduate years, I worked on multiple research projects in the Human-Centered Autonomy Lab advised by Prof. Katherine Driggs-Campbell, focusing on predictive modeling and computer vision in autonomous driving. I am passionate about learning and especially fascinated by the high-impact of deep learning in solving real-world problems! I completed my Bachelor's degree with honors at UIUC, majoring in Computer Engineering.

Internships

	Software Engineer Intern @ Meta Developed an internal tool for verifying integrity and recommendations in Instagram using Hack. Developed a privacy-safe migration tool using Hack, React, and GraphQL to facilitate rollout of new Facebook Business features. Enhanced security and addressed privacy concerns to enable cross-functional usage of internal tools.
	Software Engineer Intern @ Arm Developed a library of Python modules to automate manual review of soft IP deliverables before delivery, to ensure that IP integration deliverables and directory structure conform to specified standards. Automated 15% of the manual review and collaborated with senior engineers to develop the library infrastructure. Created and modified CI pipelines in Jenkins to enable automatic code validation, linting and testing. Collaborated with team members to demonstrate viability of review automation with an end-to-end review pipeline.
	Software Engineer Intern @ J.P. Morgan & Chase Developed a full-stack web application using Java and Angular for time series visualizations. Implemented the back-end with Spring Boot, Apache Kafka, and MongoDB to consume and store financial data from multiple vendors and built a REST API to query the data. Demonstrated utility of a centralized financial database for internal applications to executive management.
	Software Engineer Intern @ Select Portfolio Servicing Developed a data visualization application that allows nontechnical users to create interactive dashboards with a quick and intuitive workflow. Implemented the front-end and back-end components of the web application with Angular 7, d3.js, and JavaScript. Created and modified SQL queries in SQL Server Management Studio to retrieve financial data metrics. Collaborated with team on UI/UX design and presented a minimum viable product with an intuitive workflow.
