Hi, I'm Lareine. I'm a software engineer at Google on Business Communications - Consumer Client and Helpful Conversations. Business Messages is a rich, asynchronous messaging service that enables you to engage with brands from a variety of entry points, including Google Search, Maps, Ads, and the brand's own channels. I help improve visual ergonomics by reducing eye strain, adjusting brightness to current lighting conditions, and facilitating screen use in dark environments — all while conserving battery power for OLED displays. I enable personal, adaptive, and expressive experiences with dynamic color. I pull your conversations from Google Messages and sync them into Business Messages so you can have all your conversations in one unified inbox. If you received critical information about our Android 13 release, I might've queried your email 😉 I make sure we reach a global audience, no matter where you are or which languages you speak by using the right text, dates, numbers, currencies, and graphics for you and your location. I wrote end-to-end tests for 16 critical user journeys. I let you enter text directly into a notification, then deliver your text to Business Messages without you opening it. Before Google, I was a research engineer at the AI Foundation on Team Cognitive Research. I conducted research and developed algorithms in artificial intelligence and computer vision. I trained convolutional neural network models for emotional recognition. I explored the augmentation of a model of arousal / heart rate with an example implementation of Eulerian Video Magnification (EVM). EVM is an algorithm that pulls out subtle changes including changes in skin tone and recurring movements with distinct frequencies from videos that are invisible to the naked human eye. I developed and tested AI models and generative adversarial networks. At age 17, I co-authored a neuroscience publication with 100+ citations. During my freshman engineering internship, I supported the claims department at Derecktor Shipyards in the technical analysis of failures. I received a grant from the Recurse Center to maintain data pipelines with outstanding craftsmanship and test them. At age 18, I was promoted to Crew Leader at a federal bureau, where I trained and supervised 28 full-time employees. North Macedonia's International Olympiad in Informatics team '20 won three bronze medals under my coaching. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Engineering from the Cooper Union with a minor in Computer Science.
