- Helped ensure that sprint goals were met- Served as point of contact for multiple parts of codebase- Collaborated in infrastructure-related decisions- Monitored site performance metrics- Bug triage- Mentored junior team members- Onboarded new team membersNotable achievement:- Integrated OpenStudio with the cove.tool platform, which provides engineers the ability to rapidly prepare their energy models. This integration required the use of Docker, AWS (SQS, ECS, ECR, S3), Python (including Django), and Ruby.

Worked directly with the following technologies (not inclusive) to ensure that architects, engineers, and energy modelers have the tools necessary to design buildings that are optimized in terms of cost and energy efficiency:- Python (Django)- Node- Javascript/React/three.js- Ruby- PostgreSQL- Bash- AWS- GitThe following is a curated list of notable projects:- Developed an interactive business analytics dashboard to provide leaders with the data necessary for making critical business decisions- Integrated site context into 3D daylight tool. This integration increases the accuracy of the daylight model and provides users with more information for planning their project. Directly involved in the research, design plan, and development of this integration.- Developed radiation analysis feature that shows users the amount of radiation impinging on different parts of their buildings- Developed a COVID analysis feature that helps analyze floor plans to ensure optimal social distancing. Directly involved in the design and development of this featureOther responsibilities included onboarding of new employees, mentoring junior employees, participating in technical interviews of engineering candidates, deploying releases to production, and assisting in prioritizing tasks.
