• Contributed to the Native Client Platform team by developing a portable, low-level runtime in C & Rust that allows Disney's streaming applications to be streamed on high-end and low-end devices.
• Implemented 150 new features, bug fixes, and internal tools in an Agile environment.
• Developed a CLI tool to automate release verification to run across 10-15 supported devices simultaneously, resulting in a 100+ man-hour reduction per year in time and money.
• Reduced the CI pipeline runtime by ~92% by removing bottlenecks between jobs and parallelizing long-running jobs.
• Improved performance of the application by reducing text rendering time through implementing a cache to store the calculation results for quick retrieval, eliminating recalculation.
• Reduced the memory footprint of HTTP requests, eliminating memory limitation issues.

• Supported development of a real-time simulation of the ISS Cargo Resupply (CRS2) guidance and navigation system.
• Implemented Python scripts to query a database of messages used in the flight software to generate C++ code simulating the interfaces between the flight computers and various instruments/sensors.
• Reduced total run time by ~80% by redesigning the simulation repository’s continuous integration pipeline.
• Wrote 1,500 SLOC to generate simulation models for thousands of messages containing tens of thousands of fields, each needing its exposed interface from its model; this resulted in 1M+ lines of generated code delivered.
• Collaborated on a team effort to implement a simulation of the Trident missile using real hardware (EA and IMU).
• Developed a model of the GPIB interface between the EA and a simulated device to support the calibration of sensors using C++.

Cambridge, MA, US

• Led a sub-team to design and implement a plan for testing the flight software reprogramming code.
• Implemented Python scripts to record algorithm data and execute closed-loop simulations of DASO27 test flights.
• Developed post-processors and independent models of algorithm functionality in MATLAB to analyze recorded test data.
• Boosted efficiency by leading the team to make testing more reproducible by enhancing and developing an automation infrastructure.
