Experience

What I've built, and who I built it with

Each of these taught me something I couldn't have read in a book. I've kept the bullet points to the work that actually moved a number.

Work

Professional roles

  1. Company Name · Boston, MA

    • Rebuilt the ingestion pipeline around a queue-backed worker pool, cutting p99 processing time from 40s to 4s under peak load.
    • Led the migration of 30+ services onto a shared observability stack, giving on-call engineers a single place to look during incidents.
    • Shipped the customer-facing analytics dashboard end to end — schema, API, and UI — now used daily by roughly 2,000 accounts.
    • Mentored two interns, both of whom shipped production features before their last week.
    • TypeScript
    • Go
    • PostgreSQL
    • Kubernetes
    • AWS
  2. Another Company · Remote

    • Built an internal feature-flag service that replaced three separate config systems and removed a recurring class of deploy incidents.
    • Reduced CI wall time by 55% by parallelizing the test suite and caching dependency layers properly.
    • Wrote the onboarding guide the team still uses for new backend hires.
    • Python
    • Django
    • Redis
    • Docker
  3. Systems Lab, Your University

    • Prototyped a scheduling heuristic for heterogeneous GPU clusters that improved utilization by 18% in simulation.
    • Co-authored a workshop paper and presented the results to the department.
    • C++
    • CUDA
    • Python
  4. Your University

    • Ran weekly labs for ~40 students and held office hours through four semesters.
    • Rewrote the autograder feedback so failing tests explained the concept, not just the assertion.

Contributor to a handful of tools I use daily — mostly docs, bug fixes, and the occasional perf patch.

Hiring, or just curious?

Happy to walk through any of the above in more detail.
