Hi, I’mJonathan.

Software Engineering Intern

• Built an experimental circuit-breaking feature for Open Service Mesh to limit network traffic between services.
• Designed a Kubernetes custom resource definition for circuit-breaking settings such as maximum connections and requests.
• Watched custom-resource changes in Go and configured Envoy through xDS so updates applied in real time.
• Added concurrent-request and request-rate configuration to the Open Service Mesh demo.
• Contributed the work as an experimental Service Mesh Interface extension for the CNCF community.

Software Engineering Intern

• Created Java and Python command-line tools to simulate volume placement in production regions, output statistics, and graph the results.
• Identified issues in the volume-placement algorithm, proposed changes, and used the simulation tools to measure the improvement.
• Applied the simulation findings to improve host-server selection for the largest volume class.

Research Intern

• Developed a pronunciation-based convolutional neural network for cyberbullying detection under computer science professor Feng Luo and co-authored two research papers.
• Used Python and Bash to run machine-learning models including Naive Bayes, Random Forests, and support vector machines.
• Converted text to a phonetic encoding to reduce noise from internet slang and misspellings, producing measurable gains across precision, recall, and accuracy.
