• Develop backend solutions (Python / Django / Postgres) to support new features. Collaborate with front-end team to ensure smooth rollouts.

• Planned and executed a database refactor that optimized a large category of queries and helped expose key serialization changes.

• Designed, implemented, & maintained nightly E2E tests to surface backwards compatibility bugs that were previously reaching prod.

• Introduced design docs as a planning strategy, resulting in more efficient development and better collective understanding of the code.

Fellow in Cohort 5 of the Climatebase Fellowship. Broadened my knowledge of modern climate solutions and connected with peers in the climate space.

• Maintained and expanded core capabilities of Batfish (batfish.org), an open-source network verification project

• Learned networking principles from the ground up, including vendor-specific constructs around various protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, and more), packet filtering behavior, and NAT, in order to accurately model network devices in software

• Led a project overhauling critical legacy elements of Batfish's network simulation engine, paving the way for much broader vendor support

• Developed a custom script to analyze Batfish's accuracy on customer networks, which helped us quickly identify and resolve support gaps to secure success in a POC with a Fortune 500 customer

• Mentored junior engineers in Batfish, networking, and programming concepts

• Supported open source users and developers on Batfish's public Slack

• Tutored college students in Java, Python, MIPS, data structures, object-oriented programming, algorithms, and computer architecture

• Guided students in formulating, writing, and debugging code for hundreds of diverse projects and assignments

• Conducted lessons through live audio or text chat, or as written reports

• Independently developed application to model quantum mechanical wavefunctions

• Created backend components using NumPy and SciPy and a user interface with animated wavefunction displays using Matplotlib
