<p>What follows is a list of my personal projects. This list is ordered from most to
least recent.</p>

<ul>
<li>
<strong>Generative Documentation & Testing</strong>: NPM package that
functions as a CLI tool using the GPT 3.5 API to improve your JavaScript and
TypeScript code. It helps you write better code by automatically generating
documentation, refactoring code to improve performance and maintainability,
adding unit tests using Jest, and converting JavaScript code to TypeScript.
At its peak, the package had about 700 weekly downloads. You can see the
<a href="https://github.com/alexjdean/type-scriptor">GitHub page</a>.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Generative Satire</strong>: Automated satirical news site monitoring
recent events and generating Onion-style articles using LLMs; At its peak,
the site had a viewership of about 1500 people per week. The application was
built using a React frontend and a Node.js backend, with articles stored on a
Firebase Realtime Database and multiple APIs used for image and content
generation. The site is hosted on Google Cloud. You can see the
<a href="https://chicagomoontimes.com/">website</a> and

Hi! I'm Alex.
</p>
<p>
I'm a software engineer interested in distributed systems, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning.
</p>
<p>
I'm currently at <a href="https://capitalone.com/">Capital One</a>, where I build and deploy large-scale distributed machine learning systems, particularly in the context of preventing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_fraud">credit card fraud</a>. These days, my focus is on building One Hallway, a new microservice to reform the disputes and fraud intake process for call agents.
</p>
<p>
I studied math and computer science at the <a href="https://cs.illinois.edu/">University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign</a>, where I did research in graph theory, combinatorics, number theory, and theoretical computer science. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, trying new things, and meeting new people.
</p>

<p>I'm a software engineer interested in large-scale distributed machine learning
systems. I studied computer science at the University of Illinois
Urbana-Champaign.</p>

<p>At Capital One, I work on developing and deploying NLP models for call
intent prediction, transcription, and sentiment analysis. I strongly believe in
the power of self-directed personal projects to expand your abilities. For more
