- Directly manage ~10 software engineers- Serve as point of contact between the Software team and all other departments within cove.tool- Coordinate and execute majority of software releases to production environment (AWS)- Directly responsible for managing AWS services used to host the application - Collaborate in planning architecture of new software features and redesign of legacy features- Mentor and provide feedback to team membersNotable projects/achievements:- Have continuously reduced monthly AWS infrastructure costs while increasing application performance (e.g., reduced latency, reduced response times) through various code optimizations- Independently developed internal tooling for processing messages from AWS SQS to unify deployment of various microservices- Refined processes to deploy code to production for zero downtime deployments- Created comprehensive dashboards in DataDog for continuous monitoring of infrastructure health- Created a culture of documentation across the team, such that all new features now include comprehensive documentation- Automated various aspects of development workflow using, e.g., GitHub Actions (such as running unit test suite against all new pull requests and automatically deploying code to staging environment)- Created various Slack integrations- Implemented the integration of OpenStudio with cove.tool, including the development of a robust and well-tested pipeline for adding additional functionality- Continuous development of internal tools to support the needs of different teams

- 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.

--Automate routine operations tasks using technologies such as Python, Elisp and shell scripting to support consistency, reliability, and scalability--Collaborate in the design and development of Python-based microservices (which utilize cloud-based services, e.g., AWS) to support operational needs--Write unit tests for aforementioned code (using, e.g., pytest)--Write custom bookmarklets (Javascript) to rapidly extract data from internal sites for use in, e.g., analytics dashboards--Investigate and adapt existing software packages to fit operational needs--Participate in design discussions regarding new development projects--Serve as point of contact for technical issues regarding LaTeX--Edit scientific manuscripts written by non-native English speakers for grammar and style--Assist in training of new employees --Assist in workload distributionResearch Square helps researchers succeed. We do this by developing software and services for the global research community, which are offered through the American Journal Experts, Rubriq, and JournalGuide brands.

-Assist non-native English speakers in publishing their research findings in English-language journals -Provide a quality assurance step to ensure that edited manuscripts meet standards-Assist contract editors by answering questions and providing editing-related guidance-Directly interact with customers with questions regarding their manuscriptsResearch Square is the parent company of American Journal Experts, Rubriq, and JournalGuide.

Polished the English in scientific manuscripts from non-native speakers for grammar, spelling, and flow such that language does not become a barrier to the communication of ideas.

-Used publicly available software (e.g., GSAS and fullprof) to analyze diffraction data-Used Python and Bash to process and analyze large diffraction datasets-Synthesized rare earth intermetallic compounds to investigate their structure-property relationships, with a focus on the magnetic properties of such compounds-Structurally characterized intermetallic compounds using powder diffraction (neutron and X-ray diffraction)-Flux growth of rare earth intermetallic single crystals-Taught undergraduate level chemistry courses as required

Research projects focused on the structural characterization of inorganic materials under non-ambient (e.g., extreme temperatures and high pressures) conditions using powder diffraction (X-ray and neutron)--Used publicly available software (e.g., GSAS, fullprof, PDFgetX2, PDFgui, and so forth) to analyze diffraction data--Wrote code (primarily using Python and C) to parse the output of aforementioned software packages--Wrote code (in Python and C) to fit models to various datasets to extract relevant parameters--Synthesized materials for experiments--Conducted diffraction measurements at national research laboratories (i.e., Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory)--Collaborated with researchers at aforementioned national laboratories
