• Designed and implemented a DPDK app to inject in-band probe packets to measure per-hop latency• Identified consistency issues and deadlocks in 2 implementations of a concurrent hash table using packet traces and rewrote using a mutex and atomics to guarantee correctness while preserving throughput• Automated end to end setup and running of tests on Fabric Testbed in Python Jupyter notebook

San Jose, California, United States

• Built an internal tool using Next.js designed to derisk and automate DevOps tasks on Nutanix Cloud Clusters• Reduced time to fetch data by 97% to 200ms by rewriting database queries, leading to reduced service load• Shortened CI time by 86% (50m to 7m) by removing redundant steps, splitting tests, scheduling tests optimally, and exploiting parallelism, saving 500+ hours per year for the team

• Implemented end to end (cloud to robot) communication layer using Python, gRPC, and Golang to perform actionsfrom the cloud previous possible only by directly interacting with the robot• Extended server-side code to add polling which eliminated several rare bugs caused by network instability• Used LRU caches on the robot to improve performance by avoiding repeated gRPC serialization• Reduced time to run test suite from 3:30 to 0:04 by optimizing Python thread running and refining test cases• Refactored duplicate code using Python class factories and generics to improve testability and extensibility• Used unit testing to find and eliminate race condition that impacted multiple internal braincorp services• Wrote automated tooling and image processing pipeline for automated evaluation of face detection models• Implemented inference for several different image segmentation models using OpenCV and Golang

Remote

• Created Slack bot for Torpago, with features estimated to streamline spend management for 90% of Torpago users• Developed login form and REST API that bound Slack & Torpago accounts using PostgreSQL database and JWT• Created golang bindings of Torpago REST API and wrote automated tests for the binding• Wrote multiple single-purpose microservices which communicated via CloudEvent

Wrote several scripts for the Linux operating system that helped my mentors test several features of the vnic kernel driver. I also debugged a network performance test in the avocado open-source testing framework, then committed my fixes upstream. I also worked on adding support for POWER architecture to code-ready containers to single node cluster (did not complete but got most of the way there). I also have some patches in IBM's internal review pipeline for the Linux kernel. One added a feature to the vnic driver, and the other one added documentation.

Hillsboro, Oregon, United States

Implemented mobile & web apps in react and react native; created proof of concept for welcome form app; wrote custom extensible set of input components to expand welcome form. Implemented proof of concept for video calling w/added chat features using Twilio APIs (compatible with IOS, Android, web browsers); made an API for authenticating users with Twilio using C#.
