About
Welcome to my online resume! My name is Simon Richard, and I’m an 20 year-old self-taught programmer. I live in North-East Ohio and am currently attending Cleveland State University as a Computer Science and Mathematics Major.
Since my early childhood, I’ve been interested in making things and learning how things work. I love engineering, math, physics, and computer science.
I started programming about 12 years ago. My first language was Processing (on Khan Academy), but since then I have added many more languages and frameworks to my programming tool box. My current favorite is Rust.
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Mathematics
Cleveland State University - Expected graduation: May 2025
GPA: 4.0
Associate of Science
Lakeland Community College - May 2021
GPA: 4.0
- Outstanding Mathematics Student Award
- Finalist for the Provost’s Award
Computer Peer Teacher Coordinator
Cleveland State University
As the coordinator of the Computer Peer Teacher (CPT) program, I hired new CPTs, trained and managed a team of 6 CPTs (not including myself), improved IT infrastructure, led the organization of computer science events, coordinated with faculty, and coordinated with our sister program (the Engineering Peer Teachers).
Algorithms Research & Development Internship
MIM Software Inc.
I reproduced two adaptations of a state-of-the-art segmentation model for use in the medical domain, fine-tuned those models on in-house CT data, performed ablation studies, and presented my findings to the research team at MIM (including the company's Chief Science Officer).
Computer Peer Teacher
Cleveland State University
As a Computer Peer Teacher (CPT), I help students with questions primarily related to Python, Java, and C. I have also helped organize computer science events.
Software Engineering Internship
MIM Software Inc.
I contributed to a large, 1M+ line code base and made a measurable impact through the features I implemented. One of these features will allow MIM to drop support for a version that is three major versions behind the current release.
Software Development Internship
Integrated Mill Systems Inc. - The IMS Innovation Group
I worked with the IMS Innovation Group at Integrated Mill Systems Inc. on the development of a stand-alone data-logging device. This device utilized several technologies including python scripting, web design, networking, containerization, Rust, and MongoDB.
Peer Math Tutoring
Lakeland Community College
I tutored other students in the area of mathematics up to and including Calculus 3, both online and in-person.
- Research which classical and quantum hybrid models are best suited for graph learning tasks.
- Expected publication in late 2024.
- Use computer-assisted methods to explore and prove inequalities related to mixed-volumes.
- Expected publication in late 2024.
- Based on microservice architecture
- Utilized Rust, Docker, and TypeScript, and implemented continuous integration (CI) with GitLab
- Academic research, with a focus on machine learning and its applications
- Mathematics, and the intersection between mathematics and computer science
- Entrepreneurship
- Backend development and security by design
- Theology
- Piano (Bach, Schostakowitsch, Prokofiev, and Kapustin are a few of my favorites)
