Software Development Engineer

I work within AWS' Managed Kafka service, primarily on the control plane. That includes cluster management workflows and APIs, as well as cluster health monitoring and recovery. Along the way I've made changes that save over $100k monthly, slashed 10 minutes off build times by profiling & optimizing code, amd helped launch a region. Oh, and I learned a lot about Kafka.

Worked with Meta AI research on reducing requisite code churn in VISSL, their open source library for self-supervised learning. I also standardized event storage and logging interfaces, and implemented responsive learning rate scaling.

Fellow, MLH

My first time with Major League Hacking, I worked on BentoML, a high-performance machine-learning model server. There, I ideated and executed one of the project's largest refactors that halved the amount of code required for a typical contribution.

API Intern, Plume

My first time interning, I upgraded the network operations center to ECMAScript6, improved its accessibility, and halved its load times. I also kicked off the migration from AngularJS 1.x to Angular 8, and added support for dynamic CORS headers to microservices.
