DevOps: built out Jenkins CI/CD capabilities to serve 40 engineers. Brought 120 repositories up to a standard of unit tests, static analysis, security scanning, integration tests, and automatic artifact deployment (to GemFury and AWS ECR). Tightly integrated with GitHub.SRE: founding member of the SRE team, built out the majority our incident response & management protocolsInfrastructure: maintained infrastructure-as-code in Terraform and Ansible.Helped bring this startup to a $1.1Bn valuation. COVID arguably helped more though.Smoked an entire brisket every month or so to share with the office at lunch.

Introduced the organization to TestRail (integrating it into 3 automated testing frameworks, plus the internal Project Tracker system). Scaled it to 850 users. Reduced QA deadline overruns from 5-10 days to 1-2.Managed 7 QA analysts and supported 16 QA contractors who tested mobile apps.Designed, implemented, and launched 5 Slack integrations.Organized InnerSource documentation and practices for the company.

Created the quality system -- the processes, tools, and software -- for the software behind a mobile payments (EMV credit card) app on iOS. Open-sourced 3 (Apache-licensed) projects related to automated testing.Built a robot to perform automated testing on the hardware component of an iPhone app that handles untold dollar amounts per year.Designed an office mini golf course and built its functioning windmill.

Developed SOA components for the Ocean Observatories Initiative's Cyberinfrastructure, supporting collection and storage of geographical data on a global scale.Developed key improvements to the MOOS autonomy middleware to enable content-centric networking between mobile autonomous agents.Developed sensor applications to improve AUV and USV navigation, tools for standardizing and visualizing inter-process information flow, and tools for greater ease of launch and shutdown of autonomy components.Updated the build system for a 1980s-era FORTRAN acoustics simulator, to take advantage of modern build tools and cross-platform configurability.Assisted graduate students and post-doctoral researchers with software architecture and testing.

Supported the work of marine biologists by leading AUV expeditions to conduct exploratory photographic surveys of the ocean floor, usually 5-50 miles off the coast of Massachusetts.Wrote vehicle and sensor control code for the MOOS software suite in C++ and Python, including a helm process that allowed the scripting of vehicle missions in Lua using continuation-passing style.Wrote data-analysis tools that allowed high volumes of data to be processed quickly by the operator (myself) in the field. Roughly 1 GB of image data and 100 MB of vehicle data collected in a 30 minute dive could be accessed and understood in as little as 4 minutes over a 30 kB/s radio modem. Wrote operator utilities in PHP that integrated with Google Earth: mission playback, realtime display of AUV and ship position, and a mission planning tool.Handled logistics of field expeditions, including truck rental, lodging, boat charters, and the packing and transportation of support equipment.Ensured that the number of recoveries remained equal to the number of deployments.

Created the first-generation http://auvac.org website (PHP/MySQL), which included an AUV database and search tool. This site attained a very strong rank in most searches for AUV-related information.Created SQLite 3 database application in C to run on an AUV and store collected data. Wrote CGI scripts in C to display AUV data in both tabular and Google Earth formats.Performed field operations and testing with AUSI's Solar AUVs.

Designed, developed, and maintained an automated test system for ADSL modems and DSLAMs. Hired, trained, and led a team of 4 students to aid and continue development.Designed, developed, and maintained a database-driven CMS for the IOL's website. Led a team of 2 other developers to conduct a major revision to the company's customer database, and to provide online access for customers to company services.Organized an international manhunt to find Peer and reset his connection.Earned the IOL Star award twice (the first in 2005, the second in 2008).

Created an online library of equipment documentation to aid in troubleshooting the synchrotron's magnet power and control system.Kept spare leptons handy in order to repair any unexpected rips in the fabric of space and time.
