• 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
