Transitioned to the Speedtest core engine team as an individual contributor.Primary engineer focused on the public Speedtest CLI and Speedtest Embedded product lines.Full stack development as needed across production Speedtest services. From UI work in the browser with React and improving codebases in Golang, JS, Kotlin, Swift, legacy PHP, and some Python through to low level C++ & in-kernel / FPGA offload engine performance improvements.Wrote efficiency improvements and performance tuning for underpowered embedded devices (i.e routers, modems, drive testing / field testing hardware). Modernized C++ toolchain build pipelines for all embedded integrations. Handled GDPR/CCPA data privacy work. Maintained and improved high scale high throughput data pipelines.Primary point of escalation for low level network / kernel tuning for the core C++ engine used in all native Speedtest applications.

- Coached and mentored a team through a series of large projects and deadlines culminating in aquisition by Ookla.- Heavily involved with the acquisition itself from a technical standpoint and led technical integration efforts thereafter. - Managed the Sensorly redesign and rearchitecture through to completion.

- Helped automate Enterprise installs atop AWS and Softlayer.- Participated in the on-call rotation and as an escalation point for others.- Helped ensure stability across the board as a low level database / Linux engineer.

- Led backend engineering team- Helped architect and implement the underlying infrastructure with Terraform that ended up as a case study for passing federal financial system audits.- Golang. Scala. Lots of other stuff. :)

• Built up engineering team. Curated culture and team cohesion. Led technical interviews, attracted talent, and trained new hires. • Scaled our infrastructure as we’ve grown to handle billions of requests a year.• Contributed significant development towards our homegrown international geocoder. Heavily involved in algorithm design, infrastructure design, implementation, optimization, and tuning.• Optimized our rendering and tile caching infrastructure to handle significant increases in dataset size.• Architected, implemented, and tuned a low latency spatial intersection framework. Handles arbitrary point and rectangular intersections against a large corpus of polygons representing coverage patterns.

• Worked closely with marketing to redesign the university website as the technical lead.• Trained and supervised ~15 website contributors from other departments across campus.
