Lead software efforts for design optimization problems requiring parallelization of complex physics models with both Bayesian and genetic approaches in Python. Maintain and extend multi-threaded, high throughput signal processing software for real time computation and visualization of FFTs with length ∼10e7 points in C++ and CUDA. Design and implement software modules for a novel undersea vehicle, including a simulation environment, system safety monitoring, and integration tests in C++.

Boston, Ma, Us

Led design and development of custom Python modules for computing carbon offset credits based off of millions of points of farmers’ machine data. Refactored and extended crediting software to support an order of magnitude increase of credits created year over year. Led architecture and integration of team’s codebase with internal service to enable crediting across multiple protocols. Prepared documentation and code walkthroughs for third-party verifiers. Identified and scoped development work for next-generation modeling strategies. Mentored junior engineers in best practices, team patterns, and testing.

Led projects in natural catastrophe model development/validation and quantitative data analysis within a research setting. Designed tests and implemented new functionality to our stochastic U.S. Wildfire model using C ++ in a Linux environment. Used R and SQL to prepare data for model testing scenarios. Collected and aggregated raw and real-time datasets essential to the model development process using Python. Generated insightful plots and data visualizations to communicate model results and their impacts.

Cambridge, Ma, Us

Established repeatable, efficient processes using Python and ArcGIS Model Builder for interior space mapping, geocoding, and real-time mapping. Created Python scripts for dataset analysis and QA of over 41,000 campus room locations. Coordinated with managers both internally at the Institute and externally to report and publish my findings, helping to them to arrive at data-driven solutions to their tasks.

Cambridge, Ma, Us

Responsibilities included managing and overseeing many complex data sets for the entire campus including a real time map of facilities activities and converting files and drawings into multiple spatial file formats, using various scripting techniques to automate these processes.

Responsible for the creation of a walkability map as part of an objective study on the effects of new zoning laws within Shelburne. Work was done remotely, requiring excellent communication and writing skills to relay information between offices. Duties included data creation/editing, independent research, and ground truthing to verify results.

Duties included the management and editing of large geospatial data sets using the ArcGIS software suite, the analysis of LiDAR and image data sets obtained from aerial and satellite sensors, and the generation of cartographic products. Assisted technical lead in training peers on project specifications and reviewing their work. Digitized over tens of thousands of features.

Recruited for a specific project, I was responsible for obtaining and preparing tens of thousands of miles of orthophotos and oblique satellite imagery from vendors and conducting a thorough assessment for quality control issues. Assistance in preparation of cartographic products and analysis required to finish projects and create a company invoice.

Burlington, Vermont, Us

Planned and organized a rooftop meteorological station for a newly renovated LEED gold certified building. Included hands on measurement and research of various weather tracking instruments, direct interaction with company sales representatives, and explicit communication of findings to other teams in the project.
