I'm currently working on the Azure Compute team as a Software Engineer at Microsoft. We’re managing and building the complex datacenter infrastructure of PilotFish that Azure is built on top of. I love helping my team design highly-scalable infrastructure and services, especially at the large scale that working at Microsoft affords. In short, our work manages our datacenter infrastructure to be reliable and globally scalable at low cost.From the resume:• Backend engineer focusing on bootstrapping the complex datacenter infrastructure that Azure is built on top of to ensure the infrastructure is globally scalable and available, primarily working with C#, C++, and Azure technologies.• Leading the design and implementation of key global infrastructure services, including automating the rebuilding and tearing down of the datacenters that are the foundational layers of Azure, controlling tens of millions of dollars of hardware.• Developing and creating the migration strategies to smoothly transition the underlying version control systems and the domain-joined to domain-less requirements to secure and modernize those services.• Collaborating with partner teams across Azure to plan and integrate needed software load balancers, inventory management systems, and other hardware management services into the datacenter buildout systems.

• Won second place in the International Aerial Robotics Competition at Georgia Tech in 2017.• Used version control to integrate all sub-teams’ work in developing on drones using the Robot Operating System library forautonomous flight control.• Communicated with and managed all sub-teams through Slack, in-person meetings, and task management systems.

• Assisted in leading efforts toward development of an autonomous drone that served as the payload for the 2019 mission.

• Researched and programmed neural/deep learning networks using TensorFlow and Keras that helped remove the need for the preprocessing of atmospheric compensation data, leading to a much more efficient overall network and saving processing time required to identify specific ground materials.• Performed experimental infrared data analysis using MATLAB and carried out basic data science on the field data from a previous experiment to extract useful patterns in the data. Presented the findings… Show more • Researched and programmed neural/deep learning networks using TensorFlow and Keras that helped remove the need for the preprocessing of atmospheric compensation data, leading to a much more efficient overall network and saving processing time required to identify specific ground materials.• Performed experimental infrared data analysis using MATLAB and carried out basic data science on the field data from a previous experiment to extract useful patterns in the data. Presented the findings and analysis of the patterns to the Force Projection Sector during a “brown bag” presentation.• Worked and developed on an embedded BeagleBone system in a Linux environment to generate a specific waveform needed for a classified project.• Obtained Secret security clearance and performed work requiring the clearance.
