2021: Filesystem Scale Team. We aim to increase the maximum number of filesystems on Flashblade without compromising performance in order to satisfy key large customers. I am responsible for the tunable management to enable/disable this feature. This involves shopping the changes to other teams, collaboration with our analytics, and developing charts with ChartIO/SQL to track changes.2020: Product Tooling Team. We created tools for the Support team to better interact with the product and help the customer. I created the Tunable Project and mentored interns in implementing FBTune a tool for setting and tracking tunable changes to all systems in our fleet. This required collaboration with other teams to reach consensus on how to satisfy their requirements, and investigating customer requirements from support members.2019: Forensics Rotation (Escalations Engineering). This team is the frontline engineers that support calls for active customer issues. I was responsible for communicating customer issues to engineering, engineering issues to customers, and ensuring that customer facing bugs are resolved and make it into a release. I was also responsible for release management of maintenance branches, and analytics of potential issues and abnormal states. Finally, I was also responsible for leading our Data Loss Prevention Efforts. 2018: Quotas Team. Implemented default quotas, integration tests, and pass-through code. I acted as our team's UI liaison and coordinated efforts to link the front-end and backend apis.2017: Networking/Sim Team: Wrote diagnostic tools for identifying networking issues in a complex distributed product.Misc. Duties: Interviewing candidates for engineering roles,Participated in a number of hackathons for which I have two awards for Scripting Against the GUI and for a Distributed Build Process with Ice Cream.Mentored newhires, junior engineers as part of our mentorship program, and interns

Teaching Assistant for the new advanced Python track for CS11 that I wrote with Professor Mike Vanier. I was responsible for writing the homework sets, and determining what course the material would cover. I am responsible for grading assignments, holding office hours, and making any adjustments to the sets during the term. This course will cover everything from some basic libraries (logging/collections) to hacking tail recursion into the factorial function using Python bytecode.

I spent a year and a half as a math major taking Algebra, Real Analysis, and Combinatorics. This culminated with my summer research with Professor Marcolli on Orbifolds. Paper attached.I switched to the Computer Science major and worked on a wide variety of subjects including: GPU programming, functional programming, quantum information, and compilers. I have written a course in Python with Professor Vanier and TA-ed multiple classes. I was a sysadmin for two student-run clusters on campus for which I still provide advice and support. I also sat on the Student-Faculty Conference Committee for the Computer Science Department, influencing which courses would be added or subtracted from the major requirements. This overlooks the general science education background required at Caltech, which includes vector calculus, organic chemistry, and quantum mechanics.

My project, the Fingerprint Autobot, was to compile the data from hundreds of hourly logs into a SQL database as it came in, then parse this data and send out alerts to other departments if the regex's caught anomalous or pathological log data. These alerts tied in to the existing email, JIRA, and Salesforce frameworks.
