• Handled onsite and offsite testing for the companies first clinical trial at UTSW (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center) in Dallas. The prototype hardware device Theta built was used to validate the presence.
• Processed and analyzed sensor data collected from the prototype device during clinical trials.
• Built an autonomous system within GCP which required little to no human interaction for nearly 1.5 years. This autonomous system successfully executed thousands of jobs without failure during that time.
• Led a team to develop an application that can analyze tabular or image data and then automatically generates machine learning models, ensuring the project stayed on schedule.
• Leveraged OpenAI's Assistants API to create multiple AI agents that collaboratively managed application logic, automating decision-making processes with code execution paths triggered by the AI's responses.
• Utilized prompt engineering to achieve a reliable rate of desired responses from each OpenAI Assistant. Additionally, I developed in-code safety mechanisms to validate LLM responses and alert users when a re-prompt was.

• Architected the company cloud system from scratch by utilizing GCP (Google Cloud Platform) and Firebase.
• Theta early adopted the GCP product “Batch” circa October 2022 (Batch public release was August 2022). I’m inclined to believe that Theta was one of the first companies in the world to make use of Batch specifically.
• Built an internal tool with Python to check which geographical regions within GCP have resources available so VM’s could be initiated without failure.
• Containerized the companies software with Docker.
• Implemented CI/CD pipelines on the companies software with Cloud Build.
• Wrote Terraform scripts to automate cloud infrastructure management in GCP.

Vancouver, BC, CA

• Software / Data Engineer
• Built an automated data platform integrating key data sources critical to company operations. This platform was vital in client renewals and saved project managers several hours each month by centralizing information.
• Collected and processed data via API calls to Statuscake, Google Analytics, Core Web Vitals, Zabbix, Jenkins, and Jira, using Jira Query Language (JQL), into the data platform for comprehensive coverage.
• Developed custom webhooks on Jenkins CI/CD pipelines using GroovyScript and Bash scripting to send software build information to a GCP Cloud Function.
• Served as Backend Tech Lead for a microservices-based learning delivery platform, overseeing system design, structure, and ongoing maintenance.
• Maintained and optimized APIs built with Flask, using SQLAlchemy and PostgreSQL for data management.

Plano, Texas, US

• Served as a software engineer for a leading health insurance provider, contributing to critical software development projects.
• Conducted in-depth application discovery to fully understand a decades-old COBOL application running on IBM mainframes, ensuring no detail was overlooked.
• Mapped out the entire system's architecture through extensive collaboration with the original engineers, paving the way for modernization efforts.
• Created numerous detailed system diagrams and a comprehensive document that unified information from multiple sources into one accessible location.
• Helped lay the groundwork for the eventual implementation of a Python-based API that the COBOL code would interact with to tokenize PII data.

Allen, Texas, US

• Taught kids and adult classes of all levels, providing instruction tailored to beginners through advanced students, and fostering a positive learning environment.
• Served as a key pillar in managing all communication, both onsite (at the physical academy) and offsite (online), for membership and general academy-related matters, ensuring smooth handling of inquiries and prompt.
• Achieved a high sign-up and renewal rate, successfully converting leads into active members and consistently retaining existing students by effectively engaging and supporting them.
• Implemented a thorough follow-up process, ensuring clear and consistent communication with potential leads until a definitive sign-up decision was reached.
• Utilized PerfectMind software to manage student records, scheduling, and communication, streamlining operations and enhancing the student experience.
• Handled merchandise sales, effectively promoting and selling products to students and members.

Washington, DC, US

• Managed sensitive medical research data within Microsoft SQL Server related to the wellness of U.S. Veterans.
• Collaborated with physicians and researchers at UTSW (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center) in Dallas on evaluating a novel drug's potential in cancer treatment, providing critical data analysis to support.
• Optimized SQL queries, reducing data set size from multiple millions to thousands of records, increasing analysis efficiency by 50% by pinpointing the exact data required.

Allen, Texas, US

• Coached by Antonio Carlos Pecorari (Tatu), one of the most accomplished indoor soccer players of all time.
• Competed in the Major Arena Soccer League (MASL), the highest level of professional indoor soccer in North America.
• Represented the Dallas Sidekicks internationally, scoring a goal during games in Mexico.
• Helped propel the Dallas Sidekicks to a 2nd place finish in the Southern Division that season.
• Played as a forward and was able to successfully transition from a lifelong outdoor soccer background to professional indoor soccer during my rookie season.
