- Lead engineer, building a full-stack (PERN) "Outco Client Accountability" application to organize and display clients' data for staff to work efficiently and bulk send personalized emails to clients for their specific needs.- Designing and implementing a PostgreSQL database schema, cron-based ETL pipelines to migrate data from our Airtable database to our new database, NodeJS Express backend REST API routes to interface with the database, a Redis instance to cache common requests, and a React-based frontend to interface with the backend. I configured hosting solutions, the authentication layer, and automation of TLS/SSL certification to securely make the application accessible for staff & clients. The goal is to reduce reliance on Airtable as a database in order to scale cost effectively.- Overhauling staff session scheduling system to substantially improve integration with our other processes and also make automated schedule generation possible. The process involved a heavy amount of data cleansing and normalization, decreasing the possibility for future data entry errors by both staff and clients. - Management of and delegation to engineering/coaching staff to build features upon the Outco Client Accountability app, improve upon our curriculum content (whether code or written content), and instruct high quality classes for our clients.- Overhauling Github-based curriculum distribution system for clients. The prior system created a Github repo for every client, which was not scalable. The new system creates a single forkable Github repo for each class we run (which may have 20-40 clients), and uses NodeJS-based scripts for pushing curriculum content to class repos, as well as creating easy to follow documentation for clients and staff members.- Conversion of all curriculum code into C++, C#, and Go to better serve clients- Leveraged Github GraphQL API to create a potential client lead generation stream and import data into a custom database

I worked in a pulp and paper mill on data and process analysis projects as part of an Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) improvement project. I learned and used VBA for data analysis in water, creping blade, and pulping quality systems in tissue manufacturing. Work on pulping systems resulted in a notable reduction in mill energy expenditure from the pulping process. Among daily projects, I constructed detailed reports and guides for the use of infrared temperature scanners in tissue machines.

Atlanta, Georgia , Us

I worked as a research assistant in Dr. Mark Prausnitz's research laboratory in the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My experiences involve working with in vivo experiments using a laser induced reaction of carbon black nanoparticles in solution to aid large molecule drug delivery. I have learned and repeatedly used histology and confocal microscopy techniques in the analysis of tissues. I was working for the lab under the Air Products FY13 Undergraduate Research Award.
