Making data actionable, in an efficient way.My philosophy:Data can be summarized and visualized to make it actionable, with natural flexible drilldowns that mirror the workflows that data consumers use to go from summary to drive actionable info.What drives me to succeed:Setting (and exceeding) goals that reflect real customer delight(or pain). If the desired metric isn't measurable, I'll make it measurable.What I "see":Where others see raw data sources, I visualize reports, and identify the necessary "Full Stack development work" to unlock what I've visualized.Examples of my work:- Root Cause Analysis in seconds on 25B+ rows on a multi-dimensional, high cardinality dataset, via a "visual exploratory" ID3.- 100x+ speedups for SQL queries on tera scale DBs (mins to sub-sec)- Single dashboard view on 4-tiered data via a query layer across multiple tables with zero cost overhead, and 4x reduction in maintenance.- Find Worst N machine across tens of thousands, in seconds, "map reduce" pattern in SQL across hundreds of databases.- 100x+ speedups for Cosmos Scope (~Hadoop Tez) queries on peta scale data (days to mins/secs)- Enable offline analysis for an exa scale service, via an efficient "distributed and differential table sync" from thousands of SQL DBs to Cosmos (~Hadoop).- Improve state-of-art in windows appcrash reliability, by overlaying "Action taken" on the metric against a target. Considered impossible, now adopted company wide.- "Kdirstat style" drilldown for code metrics.- Optimize core .Net string and streamreader libraries, including register level parallelization processing. This reduces bottlenecks in raw processing for Cosmos (~Hadoop Tez).- RCA in real-time across OS, clients and multiple services, via smearing of requests across clients and multiple cloud services.- Enable single dashboard view for multi-dim BI data, via extensions to HighCharts.Research experience:Information Retrieval, Cross-lingual search and Data mining.

Principal Software EngineerDocusign Aug 2022 - PresentSan Francisco, Ca, UsArchitected and delivered a 100% cloud native metric & log ingestion pipeline leveraging Distributed Eventhub (Kafka like), Stream analytics (Spark like), and Azure Data Explorer (Splunk like columnar store). Entire solution is deployed automatically via Terraform, including several components that aren't fully natively supported. (e.g. seamless Stream Analytics integration).Architected and implemented core pieces of a "lift and shift" solution for legacy metric and log ingestion pipeline from on-prem to cloud. Worked with various stakeholders for a hybrid solution that allows rest of DocuSign to transition from on-prem to cloud.Architected and implemented a visual "seasonality scaling" optimization algorithm and dashboard that allows all of DocuSign to see potential savings (80% across the company) from implementing seasonality based scaling. This required working with various disconnected sets of ambiguous data and partnering with teams across the company.This is helping drive how teams implement the transition to the cloud, with a potential 80% cost savings (14M+ a year)Architected and implemented an instantaneous PII mitigation solution on top of a dataset that doesn't natively support instantaneous deletions.Architected and implemented an "indexed" cold storage solution, leveraging existing cloud native solutions in a novel way, which deprecates an existing unindexed blob archive that isn't queryable. Reduced cost of an audit/scrub by tens of thousands of dollars each, and days of dev time. Unlocked the ability for new tables to be "backfilled" from cold storage, saving hundreds of thousands per table.Architected and implemented an ingestion solution for OpenTelemetry data in a columnar store without native support, with 100x faster performance at query time.Currently 500B rows, 9B rows/day, expected to scale to 100B rows/day, 3 trillion rows.Administer Docusign's IL4 USGOV metrics and logs platform. Passed NACLC and SSBI checks. -

Software Development EngineerAmazon.Com Jun 2005 - May 2007Seattle, Wa, UsTeam: Item Master Service, owns the "Catalog" DB that is the authoritative source of "Products". Fix Package Measurement:Identified bugs in the legacy process of recording package measurements at Amazon fulfillment centers (FCs), causing inter-FC shipment, and incorrect packing box usage. Worked with DBAs to implement an audit table on a large high transaction count table (12+ million rows, up to 0.5 million updates/day), and analyzing change patterns. Implemented an automated recovery system in Perl that fixes the errors using the audit table.Worked with external teams to implement a new process, replacing the legacy process.Implemented an idempotent backfill in Perl that runs existing records through the new process.Est savings: $100K/year. Data persistence stack for Amazon Automotive, that persists auto part fitment information ("does this part fit your car?").App servers: 20 hosts in a redundant 3 datacenter configuration, running the IM Service on Rhel3.DB: Oracle instance running on an 8-core Opteron machine, with another identical backup.The database started off with ~100 million fitments, and supported 6 million updates/day.Host Fleet Management:Analyzed single datacenter failure capacity in across the entire fleet of 100+ hosts in 6 processing pools.Redistributed hosts for expected load in the event of a data center outage.Accomplished 2006 holiday scaling without extra machines by identifying pools with under-utilization.Developed scripts to automate the process of certifying a server before putting it in production.Estimated savings: $40K/year + 1 dev hr/machine (automated certification).Enhance data troubleshooting tool using AJAX resulting in increased adoptionImplemented ‘auto-suggest’ to replace traditional dropdowns.Reduced apparent load-time by implementing background loading of sub-pages.Increased adoption of tool by external teams, and hence reduced support overhead by 40%Estimated savings: 20 dev hrs/week. -
