Tech/team lead overseeing storage and serving TBs of agricultural/climate time-series data. Team portfolio includes four Rust services for ingest/serving/compute, multiple RDS/Postgres instances, knowledge graph CI/CD, internal user tooling, monitoring dashboards.• Developed high-throughput data query service, paving the way for future storage engine migration• Decomposed monolith architecture into multiple scalable Rust services• Initiated several efforts to automate data processes, reducing user toil significantly across other Gro teams• Led effort to migrate TBs of data from various legacy schemas to single schema, improving runtime performance by 10x and erasing significant technical debt• Member of Rust advocacy group, developing libraries and educational material for company-wide Rust adoption• Cross-collaborated with API, Ingestion, Data Science, Product, Program Office teams to fulfill data platform requirements for internal and external users

Distributed high performance, GPU accelerated OLAP column store database• Led horizontal scaling / data rebalancing feature. Expanded clusters approaching 100 TB at customer sites for increased storage/performance needs• Created virtual file system with multiple backends including S3 & Azure Blob Store, utilized for rapid customer onboarding via drag & drop file ingest• Developed distributed & parallelized csv ingestion engine, observed speeds up to multiple GBs / minute• Developed fault-tolerant in-place storage format upgrade• Improved testing outcomes by initiating wider use of internal run-time validation, unit testing, multithreaded testing, and static code analysis• Won company-wide bug bash for first cloud-native product release

Led a team of 12-25 to develop a distributed simulation integrating Naval at-sea tactical code with high-fidelity models, solving at-sea interoperability issues and resulting in a fleet-wide upgrade of over 100 ships and aircraft. Simulation subsequently used for several other projects. C++, Java, Linux.Developed novel Linux system call approach for accelerating real-time software faster than real-time with negligible source code modification.Led a multi-company / government effort (10+ orgs) to develop modeling and simulation strategy for the Navy's aircraft carrier Combat System.Authored software and led 7 person team developing mathematical algorithms and prototype software for tactical decision aids. C++, Linux.Proposed and led three internal competitively-funded R&D projects involving application virtualization, containerization, and software integration.
