Mentored two summer interns and a fullstack new hire to help fast track their contributions to the company.Fostered a culture of testing by encouraging leadership to invest in CI and championing test coverage standards. Motivated engineers to write tests through code review and leading workshops, reducing regressions and improving client satisfaction.Built out CI pipeline, maintained testing infrastructure, and spearheaded performance enhancements such as parallelization. Introduced, piloted, and led adoption of Cypress, which empowered engineers to easily write their own web application end-to-end tests and improved test failure visibility over Selenium. Built tools to write tests locally and set up Cypress to run in CI.Designed and built an in-house Feature Flag system using PostgreSQL, Memcached, and Django. Led integration of feature flags into development processes, reducing cycle times and shifting the team away from long lived feature branches.Built and maintained core features such as legislative tracking boards, a unified data model permissioning system along with reusable frontend form infrastructure, and a robust drop-in table component for list views.Substantially improved the performance of Quorum’s CSV generation module by leveraging Django’s advanced ORM tools to eliminate linear queries, which frequently reduced generation time from tens of seconds to hundreds of milliseconds.

At Novartis, I spent the summer working on process development for a multipurpose vaccine platform. My responsibilities included designing experiments to further define a pilot scale oil-in water emulsion process. I ran the process and characterized the emulsion using HPLC and particle sizing techniques. My work resulted in defined process parameters such as mixing speed, emulsification and homogenization times, and pump rates. I gave a lab meeting presentation of my work and concluded the summer with a company wide poster presentation to Novartis employees.
