• As part of the Data Lake Storage and Security team, developing microservices to improve access to and security of LinkedIn’s exabyte-scale big data platform.• Improved the security of an existing microservice used to grant internal access to datasets by identifying user management hierarchy via LDAP, publishing events to Kafka, developing new REST endpoints via Restli, scheduling cleanup of unused permissions via Quartz jobs, and developing new Spark jobs and Azkaban workflows to audit data usage throughout LinkedIn.• Improved the stability of two microservices used to securely access datasets and impersonate headless accounts by analyzing common errors and improving error handling and metrics, developing new dashboards and alerts using Grafana, improving runbooks, and presenting training sessions.

Rancho Cordova, Ca, Us

• Co-led the development of a new online claim processing microservice using Java, Angular and Spring WebFlux on AWS.• Demonstrated a tenfold improvement in both latency and throughout by leading the adoption of a reactive programming model, which included developing custom Spring AOP aspects to cache and deduplicate reactive calls.• Resident expert in Git, training others to use rebase, adding hooks, and helping team members to recover lost commits using the reflog.• Trained others in reactive programming.

Rancho Cordova, Ca, Us

• Served in a DevOps role on the claims team, developing and maintaining Spring microservices used to estimate, process and persist vision insurance claims.• Rewrote the claim estimation calculator to share business logic with the pricing system, while preserving compatibility with consumers and other upstream microservices.• Used Python to help automate deployments.• (Hired as a full-time employee by VSP in May 2021.)

Austin, Texas, Us

• Co-led, designed and implemented the Kerberos and RPCSEC_GSS data path to a distributed File Storage Service, enabling encryption and single-sign-on for NFS backed by LDAP.• Assisted with the development of a unit testing framework in CMake by using Linux namespaces to run local tests against containerized KDC and LDAP servers, and with the development of an end-to-end testing framework by backporting RPCSEC_GSS support from pynfs4 to pynfs3 using Python.• Increased by 2.5X the SSL performance of an embedded Data Transfer Appliance written in Java by developing C and Java proof-of-concept implementations, benchmarking the performance of CBC and GCM crypto algorithms, and ultimately converting the project from Java 8 to Java 11 to demonstrate that 10 Gbps line-speed could be achieved in Java.• Implemented an asynchronous TLS termination proxy using OpenSSL for a NAS Replication appliance.

Austin, Texas, Us

• Served as a team lead developing and maintaining a high-availability active/active enterprise RAID server for the Tier 1 on-premise and cloud storage markets.• Designed and led cross-functional development of a new RAID maintenance engine to maximize data integrity and availability through hardware faults and non-disruptive updates, including code to automatically recover data when a critical number of faulted drives was exceeded.• Rewrote code to rebuild degraded LUNs, preemptively copy failing drives, restore lost data from faulted LUNs, and non-disruptively handle drive firmware updates. Designed an improved restore mechanism to keep failed drives in a read-only state without corrupting data while drive contents were transferred to a replacement.• Implemented asynchronous TLS using OpenSSL for a NAS Replication appliance.• Scripted tools to automatically port and merge changelists between Perforce branches, extract bug information from a bug database using SQL, automatically deploy tests in a simulated environment, and automatically extract cores and trace data in the event of a failure.

Belmont, Ca, Us

• Collaborated with engineering teams at SAP and ChargePoint to develop a prototype EV cloud that allowed users to reserve charging stations.• Developed proof-of-concept infotainment software to connect to the EV cloud adding embedded Internet connectivity, consuming a SOAP API, and developing a new UI/UX with graphics designers on a Windows CE platform.• Served as Volkswagen’s liaison to the Stanford and UC Berkeley solar powered vehicle teams.

Austin, Texas, Us

• Maintained code to synchronize LUN states and write locks between active/active controllers to ensure data integrity, including saving and resolving metadata following drive and controller faults.• Developed and sustained data stewardship and recovery modules, an improved resource manager, and a custom core-dump parser for postmortem failure analysis.

Austin, Texas, Us

• Implemented sector level rebuild to minimize data loss following multiple drive failures. Sustained existing RAID algorithms and accompanying state transition handler on Axiom data server.• (Oracle acquired Pillar Data Systems in October 2011)

Chico, Ca, Us

• Tutored lower-division physics: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Modern Physics.• Assisted with tutor training.

Chico, Ca, Us

• Added embedded machine vision feedback to an autonomous tomato transplanter to discard dead seedlings during transplanting.• Developed code for the embedded CMU camera to identify dead tomato seedlings, and benchmarked the performance against commercially-available alternatives.

• Developed and maintained websites for the Burton Island Association, Sustainable Green Products, and various student organizations using HTML 4, CSS 3, JavaScript ES5 and PHP 5.
