• Generative Mermaid dags embedded in pull requests via CircleCI Orbs. Built using Python and Gradle/Kotlin. Helped developers understand impact of code changes on other microservices for improved deployments to production/reliability.
• Partnered with security to limit the number of developers with “god mode” access to production from dozens to 0 to fulfill Soc2 compliance.
• Contributed to ~$1.0M savings for engineering org by creating dashboards to track GCP cloud spend by team and kubernetes service.
• Led team infrastructure migrations and deployments to a new internal platform (codename “Shuttle Crawler”). Leveraged Terragrunt, Helm, and CircleCI for “everything as code” initiative.
• Reduced Q1 2022 engineering org spend by ~$40K through identifying historicals for removal on Apache Druid database.
• Migrated feature flags in Typescript and Kotlin source code from Unleash to LaunchDarkly service.
• Served tier 0 on-call engineer shifts and documented on-call training detailing shift escalation policies, procedures, monitors, and runbooks.

• Conducted a sensitivity analysis of the effect of 7 different parametric wind models on storm surge projections using a suite of 1000 hurricanes and simulating in GeoClaw, a geophysical flow simulator written in fortran and python.
• Analyzed and plotted data using Jupyter notebooks to build surge probability maps for NYC and Mumbai.
• Designed pipeline using python interface to run, simulate, and process data sets of simulated storms in Geoclaw.
• Wrote code to standardize input from 7 different storm data formats into fortran readable files for simulations.
