Played a critical role in scaling engineering team, culture, and tools from 5 to 100 over a 2 year period, from $50M valuation to $4B.Provided leadership and assistance for difficult cross team/org projects such as performance overhauls, product pivots, engineering hiring pipelines improvements, and agile process rollouts.Built and managed a critical developer productivity team managing releases, test automation, GraphQL, best practices, developer tooling, custom cloud CI/CD runners, and internal dashboards.Led and grew a frontend team in charge of a complete rewrite of Aurora’s frontend stack helping to grow revenue by 10x and eventually 10 different product teams.Built a custom SDK for use by enterprise clients, assisted with sales calls as an engineer, doubled company enterprise revenue.Built custom parallelization tooling for our test automation to run days worth of tests in minutes saving 10s of thousands of lost developer hours.

Assisted Currents by providing my automation and test tooling expertise to help them publish a whitepaper on managing test flakiness at scale.

Provided technical direction for technology stack, hiring and managing of contractors, and the building of an initial MVP of the primary Favorably product.

Built and helped design the DroneDeploy AngularJS application, eventually ported to Angular 2, which was also used as the mobile web and hybrid mobile UI for flying drones and analyzing map data through our custom leafletJS and native google maps implementation.Developed a hiring plan to build the frontend team from myself to more than 15 engineers.Led and managed the mobile team which focused on supporting new DJI drones and live testing UI and native changes on all of our supported drones on the first mobile app for flying and mapping.Improved the load time of the DroneDeploy app 400% through frontend performance optimizations.

I am the founder of Ratchet Software LLC. The company specializes in aggregating hard to access healthcare data into a single source and provides simple unified interfaces to access that data. The public application is located at http://www.myhealthcaresource.com We do all of our data processing and web applications in Ruby and Rails. I am the Co-Owner and am responsible for day to day running of the company as well as major development tasks. I also obtain and parse new data sets to increase the quality of our database of healthcare financial data.The company was bootstrapped and has been profitable from the first few months. After the first year we had much more data and many offers for custom interfaces to our public data as well as extra analysis per the client's request. We now have large ($100K+) multi-year contracts for custom data and a growing number of standard users on the public facing site http://www.myhealthcaresource.comIn the future we hope to increase the data we offer and potentially move into the more competitive market of hospital data.

Accepted a job at Wildfire Interactive as a Senior Ruby Engineer and Google purchased Wildfire shortly before my starting date.

► Involved in the development of resilient routing schemes at the ARENA for Research on Emerging Networks and Applications. ► Contributed to the implementation of Failure Inferencing based Fast Rerouting (FIFR) for IP backbone networks. FIFR performs local rerouting and provides protection against any single failures without global link state updates while adhering to destination-based forwarding. ► Proposed an algorithm for identifying the minimal set of FIFR-aware nodes to protect a given link/node to facilitate incremental deployment of FIFR. Presented at USC Discovery Day 2006 and to be published in USC Undergraduate Research Journal.► Programmed with NesC in the TinyOS environment to develop applications on our Tmote sensors. Mentored a visiting undergraduate researcher while he studied the effect of modifying the clear channel assessment threshold on the total throughput of a sensor network test bed. ► Designed a protocol, Covert Neighborhood Transmissions (CoNTra), for a pair of nodes to resist traffic analysis without a network-wide anonymity protocol. we Integrated our CoNTra protocol into the existing Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) implementation in ns2 network simulator using C++. This project required thorough knowledge of the network stack, Dynamic Source Routing (DSR), and ns2. The work was presented at ACM MobiCom 2007 and has been published in Mobile Computer Communications Review.► Developed a rate selection algorithm for opportunistic routing in wireless mesh networks. Wrote evaluation framework to test our path metric on the Roofnet topology from MIT. Used Ruby to develop simulations to analyze the rate changes happening during the 90-second trace data. Published at the WiMesh 2008 conference at Secon 2008.

► Taught 30-student class as sole instructor on data structures and algorithms with Java. ► Responsible for implementing and testing new teaching styles focusing on pair programming. ► Organize and teach a weekly lab on data structures in Java in which students are lead through new concepts with hands on programming. ► Provided assistance for students while they learned and worked with XHTML/JavaScript.

► Successfully passed an NSA special background investigation and polygraph. Resulted in clearance to work with TOP SECRET/Sensitive Compartmented Information. ► Primarily responsible for conducting research and developing prototype tools for computer network exploitation. Took a project from initial ideas and goals to a demonstrable prototype that is to be used as the basis for a new effort in a new agency division. ► Awarded NSA Star Award

► Worked on all phases of the project from gathering requirements through its completion. ► Converted legacy database files with nursing home cost reports to a MySQL database. ► Developed an intuitive web interface to navigate and query nursing home info of three states.
