As a front-end developer for the Simulation org, I work on several internal facing applications (a mix of React and Vue), thats allow for exploration and triaging of simulation data, ultimately in support of improving Zoox's autonomous driving stack.

As an EM, I led a fully remote cross-functional team (4 engineers + 1 product manager) that helped build the world's #1 analytics platform for brand advertising. In addition to continuing IC responsibilities as a front-end developer, I took on the following leadership duties: • Worked closely with PM on the product roadmap, and with the engineering team to deliver high quality code that provided value to clients• Served as the de factor scrum master, leading team stand-ups, sprint planning, retrospectives, and backlog grooming • Had up to four direct reports, for whom I engaged in weekly 1-on-1's and provided technical and career guidance• Made significant contributions to the technical interview and new engineer onboarding process and was one of our go-to interviewers, having interviewed hundreds of candidates• Helped to build a strong team culture based on collaboration, empathy, and emotional safety

As Upwave's first technical hire, I had the opportunity to contribute to many different areas of the code-base and helped the company grow from a 4-person seed stage startup, to a full fledged SaaS company with Fortune 500 companies as our clients.• Made significant contributions to our client facing analytics dashboard, built on React and Material-UI• One of the primary developers of the legacy client dashboard, now an admin tool, built in AngularJS• Built Upwave's first charting library for displaying analytics data• Wrote backend code for our Groovy on Grails REST API• Primary front-end developer of the "survey-wall", a critical part of the system, responsible for presenting surveys and collecting respondent data

The Dynamic Satellite Simulator (DSS) simulates a wide variety of spacecraft and is used to test ground system compatibility, simulate on-orbit operation and to train satellite operators and launch team. • Developed satellite thermal model, replacing outdated legacy Fortran code with robust, highly-configurable model in C++ that dynamically generates heat equations at run-time from configuration files. • Eliminated need for generating/compiling new code for new spacecraft or when configuration parameters change, resulting in significant reduction in development effort for new programs. • Created Python tool to automate generation of integration test report files, a task previously done by hand. Adopted by entire team, with an estimated time savings of 40-50% compared to previous process.

The Master Test Controller (MTC) is a Java based UI platform that enables test authoring, test execution, telemetry display and configuration management for a satellite test lab• Developed a software/hardware system that served as the bridge between the user interface and satellite hardware in the lab, encompassing command distribution, telemetry monitoring, and logging of system data. Lead developer for the communications layer, which included TCP/IP messaging and data transfer via reflective memory boards. • Designed and developed a Java drag-and-drop telemetry display toolkit, consisting of several types of display “widgets” that allows users to build a package of displays to monitor satellite telemetry. • Built a data management server that maintains multiple TCP/IP connections with varying messaging protocols and allows users to toggle satellite telemetry source and override telemetry data. • Developed an end-of-test reporting tool that collects user specified data, packages it in HTML format and displays the report in a browser window.

The ASCSim is a satellite constellation simulator that facilitates testing of “hardware-in-the-loop” spacecraft bus and payload engineering units of communication satellites. • Developed real-time simulation framework for the propulsion system of a communications satellite. • Created an end-to-end solution for displaying simulator status using a C++ backend connected to a Java GUI front end via TCP/IP sockets• Designed and developed a data logging tool for collecting and storing satellite telemetry data retrieved from the reflective memory ring.
