• Helping grow the engineering org at Nautical Commerce by:
• Mentoring technical and non-technical colleagues
• Championing process improvements such as Architectural Decision Records to ensure that consistent documentation is left for future developers
• Monitoring and observability to enable data-driven insights into the Nautical APIs

Toronto, Ontario, CA

• Supporting the engineering organization at Top Hat by:
• Engineering lead for a complex monolith to services project
• Mentoring ICs and tech leads in individual and group settings
• Writing code and leading by example on business critical projects
• Educating developers on the intricacies of databases, SQL, and distributed systems to help them build more effective services
• Documenting the existing legacy codebase to make the organization more effective while new services are written

Toronto, Ontario, CA

• Worked cross functionally across the company to effect change within the product and engineering organizations
• Helped a team diagnose database performance issues in a business critical service. Worked with the team to migrate from MySQL to PostgreSQL with minimal downtime using AWS DMS achieving an 80% reduction in p99 latency
• Produced extensive documentation of a legacy monolith codebase. This documentation was used by all engineering teams when planning work for a business critical project.
• Drove adoption of async Python for microservices. Developed boilerplate service using FastAPI, Pydantic, and Ormar, to provide teams with a starting implementation which is now in use for all new services at Top Hat.

San Ramon, California, US

• Led full stack development (Python, Flask, Docker, React, Deck.gl) across the GridOS productline. Focused on designing a reliable distributed service architecture that can be deployed either in the cloud or on-premise.
• Successfully led a team to develop and deploy a live electricity market in California (see link below). This system analyzes and dispatches PV / batteries in the field to enable safe electrical grid operation.
• Mentored other developers in both 1 to 1 and group settings.
• Designed, documented and communicated the software architecture design for the GridOS platform. Worked with business, product, and sales leaders to understand customer requirements and translate them to code.
• Championed the use of development tools such as distributed tracing and profiling. Provided training and coaching to developers on how to effectively use these tools.
• Conducted pre-sales technical presentations with partners and customers to aid their understanding of our platform.

Austin, Texas, US

• As a Staff Software Developer for National Instruments, I have primarily been involved with the design and implementation of Multisim Live (https://beta.multisim.com/). This project successfully created a complex.
• Designed and architected key parts of the application including the controller and view layers.
• Introduced automated unit testing. Selected and set-up Selenium to support testing on multiple browsers, operating systems, and devices. Introduced code metrics such as coverage analysis.
• Built UI components based on HTML5 WebComponents and Google's Polymer library
• Implemented new features in C++ code that was compiled to JS using Emscripten
• Improved data decimation performance by 4x on large datasets (250k+ points) while reducing memory usage and improving code readability. Non Technical Highlights:

Austin, Texas, US

• As a software developer at National Instruments, I have had the opportunity to work on a number of exciting projects. Highlights from these projects include:
• Overhauled the entire Multisim and Ultiboard C++ codebases to support a variable number of component databases allowing National Instruments to recognize an entirely new product, Multisim Blue.
• Independently started a research project to convert Multisim databases to SQLite. I improved measured performance significantly while at the same time reducing code size and adding the first unit tests covering the.
• Worked with a colleague to prototype a conversion of a large C++ application to support an x64 build. Refactored custom UI widgets to update a base UI library that was included from source and that had been heavily.
• Tracked down and fixed an elusive memory leak that reduced simulation memory usage by up to 90%

Santa Clara, California, US

• Conducted timing characterization of graphics chip analog I/Os using Spice simulators and STA tools.
• Ensured that Verilog modelling was accurate and that both models and schematics performed as expected.
• Wrote and debugged Perl scripts to automate job tasks.
• Provided training to new interns and contract employees in the team.
