through AWS

I'm currently contributing to the Hydro project through AWS. I'm implementing consensus protocols like Raft and chain replication, while also working on GTM for the framework. On the side, I'm also contributing to Infinity, where I developed the first application written in Hydro: Infinity Slack bot.

Software Development Engineer

I worked 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 few regions. Oh, and I learned a lot about Kafka.

Software Development Engineer Intern

In the summer of 2023, I was an intern on the Real User Monitoring under the AWS CloudWatch org. While there I experimented with supporting OpenTelemetry instrumentations and expanding into support for mobile devices.

Software Intern, Plume

When I returned to Plume, I upgraded some endpoints to gRPC, rolled out more microservices, internal service scripts, and leveraged the Braze APIs to help users navigate the setup process.

through MLH

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.

Jack Baskin School of Engineering, UC Santa Cruz

Graduated Magna Cum Laude from UC Santa Cruz in 3 years with a B.S. in CS, and Highest Honors in the Major. Served as the president of the UCSC Rocket Team, leading it to successfully complete the NASA Student Launch competition for the first time since its inception, placing 26th among 51 universities nationwide.
