• Overhauled the installation process of security-critical networking components with escalated privileges deployed on Kubernetes clusters; increased unit/integration test coverage• Eliminated race conditions and a 30-second node startup delay for Istio CNI (Container Network Interface) plugin• Implemented a modular redesign for netd, a critical networking service that will be deployed as the central manager of container networking on all GKE (Google Kubernetes Engine) clusters• Proposed a general and scalable solution to solve the race conditions for all CNI plugins by identifying and utilizing the key behaviors of kubeletGolang, Bash, Kubernetes, Docker, CI/CD, Open-source

• Accelerated quantitative research by optimizing and adding features to an internal C++ utility along with its Python bindings; ultimately promoting it as the standard table-file I/O utility across the firm• Conducted performance benchmarks to verify improvements— reduced read-times by >80% locally and >50% on the cloud platform• Researched and documented how to set up a central installation of Julia with a local registry and central depot for offline developmentC++, Python, Bash

• Introduced better React practices to team of full-time software engineers and progressively refactored in order to improve code maintainability and performance in the redesigned signup application• Streamlined the continuous delivery pipeline by writing a Makefile to simplify the deployment process to Kubernetes pods• Collaborated in the development of a Golang reconciler agent that periodically reconciles thousands of invoices to the accounting software from the internal billing platform• Modified internal Billing API written in Django in order to obtain necessary data for invoice reconciliationPython (Django), JavaScript (React), Golang, Kubernetes, Jenkins
