Assisted the founding of an E-commerce business selling curated ready-made art supply kits that emphasize taking care of your mental health. As an advisor I helped the business file its startup paperwork and stood up the financial vertical including 3rd party software choice, bookkeeping, tax planning, and pricing. I also help with the design and material sourcing of the ready-made kits as well as manage Smudge's newsletter and inventory systems.

As a lead programmer in the Learning & Experimental Economics Projects (LEEPS) Laboratory I participated in cutting edge economic research conducted around the world. My responsibilities included managing the High Frequency Trading (HFT) team projects and working alongside researchers to develop software solutions.HFT team key projects included the migration and refactorization of software platforms created in the Redwood framework to a more powerful python framework called oTree. Continuous Double Auction (CDA), Frequent Batch Auction (FBA), and an extension to Investor Exchange (IEX) were all experimental markets migrated to oTree during my time at LEEPS. The HFT team also maintained and updated a NASDAQ-like exchange server created by Cramton Associates at the University of Maryland which performed bid and ask order matching inside for our markets. I also drove several individual projects while at LEEPS, one of which was to create a python pipeline that displayed real time analytics for experiment participants. Another such project included producing a framework for researchers to test trading platforms using a Gherkin interpreter to spawn selenium bots that modeled trader behavior. I also acted as the system administrator for key projects, creating and managing AWS EC2 instances where exchange servers were deployed.

As an intern on the TechSafe team, I worked alongside engineers and analysts to provide businesses inside of NBCU means of resource protection, security requirement definitions, and security standard operating procedures.One job function I performed was research and evaluation of potential corporate applications that would encrypt, store, and transfer proprietary data. The research and evaluation included pen testing applications as well as interacting with software vendors to verify status on security features. I also worked with senior engineers in the design of network architectures and deployment standards for applications I approved.Another responsibility of mine was the analysis of several key businesses inside of NBCU for security vulnerabilities. I developed several applications to be used inside of NBCU InfoSec group to manage scanning and reporting of possible vulnerabilities. The applications would produce daily reports that other analysts would engage stakeholders to take action on.

I worked on several projects during my time as an intern at Daystrom Technology Group (DTG). One such project was the design and implementation of a software pipeline that stress tested and graded file system performance in a media and entertainment environment. The results of those grades were directly communicated to prospective clients. Along with writing software, I supported deploying and troubleshooting new cutting-edge file systems such as RozoFS and new DTG products such as Nautilus Backup. These systems were deployed to several businesses across California, all of which I supported when customer issues arose.
