An audio processing website for which I am doing both frontend and backend software development.This has entailed working in React with Typescript, building/updating APIs with Python, integrating with Google APIs, and working with AWS cloud services.

I have restarted my physics research with a former professor with the aim of extending research from my undergraduate thesis into publishable results.This self drivem computational physics research focuses on entanglement during quantum annealing on an Ising spin glass.This has involved:- Coding in Python, Bash, and Mathematica to simulate an Ising model spin glass as it undergoes the quantum adiabatic algorithm.- Understanding and relating entanglement structure… Show more I have restarted my physics research with a former professor with the aim of extending research from my undergraduate thesis into publishable results.This self drivem computational physics research focuses on entanglement during quantum annealing on an Ising spin glass.This has involved:- Coding in Python, Bash, and Mathematica to simulate an Ising model spin glass as it undergoes the quantum adiabatic algorithm.- Understanding and relating entanglement structure, cat state metrics, and the propensity of the algorithm to prefer certain solutions over others to the overall effectiveness of adiabatic quantum computation.- Using python libraries like NumPy, SciPy, and QuTiP- Analyzing and visualizing data with matplolib- Continual growth of knowledge of quantum physics and computing by reading papers and independent research Show less

Fast paced startup where I worked on a small team to design and build the platform for a rapidly scaling web application. While I was there the amount of requests grew 5-10x and we maintained a 99.9% uptime. - Worked on a team to migrate the entire platform database and APIs from OpenSearch to Aurora PostgreSQL - Redesigned the tables that stored customer transaction data (up to 100M+ records in a table) to optimize for performance in both search and aggregation. Both latency… Show more Fast paced startup where I worked on a small team to design and build the platform for a rapidly scaling web application. While I was there the amount of requests grew 5-10x and we maintained a 99.9% uptime. - Worked on a team to migrate the entire platform database and APIs from OpenSearch to Aurora PostgreSQL - Redesigned the tables that stored customer transaction data (up to 100M+ records in a table) to optimize for performance in both search and aggregation. Both latency and storage were decreased by more than 50%. - Designed and built a database schema and APIs for a major expansion of the product - Maintained deployments with AWS SAM and AWS CDK and built in integration testing with Hurl - Integrated CloudWatch API logs with Datadog to provide highly detailed insights into API usage. This gave the team and the company at large an unprecedented ability to monitor usage by customer and track bugs Show less

Richmond, Virginia, United States

Financial technology startup where I worked predominantly as a single person team to hugely expand the coverage of the company’s build-time automated tests.Additionally, I took initiative to perform fixes to the bugs I found, using TypeScript within the Angular Framework.

- Building the front end of web pages using HTML, CSS, and Javascript- Working with Angular Framework

Computational physics research related to quantum annealing. More details above.
