Quinn Jones
My name is Quinn Jones, and I am looking for opportunities in Software Development, Machine Learning, and Data Mining. I was most recently the Director of the Wehrle Global Supply Chain Lab at WVU, where I leveraged my experience with virtual reality and data mining to establish the lab's first projects. As a graduate student in the WVU Vision Lab my research has focused on 3D fiducial point detection, microscopy classification, and graph neural networks. In my free time, I enjoy good and bad movies, reading about alien intelligences, and playing video and card games.
Employment
I have been working in software engineering and research since 2013 with experience ranging from virtual reality, SAAS, business intelligence, and most recently in machine learning especially as it pertains to computer vision in video, all while furthering my education.
