Full Stack software developer with a 7 year proven track record of high-quality work. I have developed production features for existing products, developed and deployed software product lines from scratch, as well as performed a variety of high-impact data science analyses and machine learning experiments. I have also led adoption of software engineering best practices and tools, and mentored a number of junior software engineers.As a principal data scientist, I have led software and hardware development of multiple automated computer-vision based quality control systems, developed analysis methods for large and complex data such as Computed Tomography scans and Scanning Electron Microscopy, and integrated bespoke data capture systems into industrial manufacturing equipment- resulting in multiple patent applications for my employer.I have also envisioned, developed from ground up, and deployed a user-friendly, modular manufacturing data capture and analysis system on multiple product lines with a variety of users, which is positioned to be rolled out to multiple different manufacturing sites on different networks.As a software development leader within the company, I have driven adoption of and deployed software to perform Software Quality Assurance testing and Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) within our R&D division. I have also presented research findings and software technologies to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), with the goal of advocating for qualification of advanced "Digital Twin" quality control systems to replace certain expensive destructive and nondestructive testing methods.
