Internet Measurement Platform - A distributed data-orchestration platform for running bandwidth and latency measurements on customer devices.Transitioned the NodeJS middleware to a Golang gRPC service with plugins that stream data to Kafka and AWS Kinesis & SNS infrastructure with caching and retry logic for fault tolerance.Implemented a package to abstract the implementation of distributed tracing with Open Telemetry, as well as integrated that package into all measurement controller components.Designed and prototyped a new scheduling system with decoupled communication between a data-gathering service and a measurement scheduling service via a Redis data stream.Helped write scripts for dynamically generating CI/CD pipeline configurations that follow a release branch Git workflow.

1. Added node affinity to prevent the scheduling of the driver on nodes with virtual-kubelet installed.https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/secrets-store-csi-driver/pull/513

A rootless container built with a series of Linux commands, and a small program in Go that utilizes these native Linux featuresGithub repository: https://github.com/manedurphy/rootless-container

Technologies: Kubernetes | Docker | Go | gRPC | Protocol Buffers | Redis | ConsulGithub Repository: https://github.com/manedurphy/distributed-transactionApplication: https://apps.manedurphy.dev/distributed-transaction/This is an application that I built to better my understanding of handling transactions across multiple microservices, each with its own database. The distributed backend consists of 3 gRPC microservices - customers, orders, and payments. An API gateway component acts as the entry point for the client to access these services from the browser. Decoupling of each microservice is handled using Redis pub/sub channels.

1. Raised the issue for a bug that crashed the plugin when allocating an additional IP address to an existing linode instance.https://github.com/linode/terraform-provider-linode/issues/3562. Subsequently squashed this bug.https://github.com/linode/terraform-provider-linode/pull/357

Migrated functionality for writing secrets to K8s Pods from the provider to the driver with the write-secrets feature flag.https://github.com/hashicorp/vault-csi-provider/pull/89

My work covered the "reviews" sections of the website my team recreated.The primary optimizations included database indexing for fast queries, server-side rendering, and caching with data replication for high availability.Deployed on a 3-node Kubernetes cluster on AWSRepository: https://github.com/manedurphy/k8s-fullstack-microservice

Part-time private tutor for high school mathematics and science classes.

As an SI Leader, I am assigned to a class with a history of high failure rate, and I attend all class sessions and work with the students in class to help them develop a better understanding for the material. On top of this, I also conduct three out-of-class study sessions a week, where the students in the class can attend and get more practice. For these sessions I create in-depth lesson plans that clarify the concepts covered in class. Last semester, I worked with student in Statistics; this semester, I am working with students in Chemistry II.

For several summers, I have worked at Summer Camps for kids of varying ages as a camp counselor. At 14 years old, I returned to the summer camp I used to attend as a kid, Backyard Explorers, as a Counselor In Training (C.I.T.). As a C.I.T. I was granted limited freedoms, more than a camper and less than a counselor, and my job essentially was to oversee and help the counselors with the daily activities for the campers. The point of this process was to prepare me to being a paid counselor at the age of 16, and I did exactly that. This was my first paid job in the summer of 2012. I did not work at the Backyard Explorers summer camp the following two summers, but in the summer of 2015 I contacted my old boss at the Concord Centre, and she immediately gave me a job at the summer camp for kids the ages 11-14, called All That & Then Some. Very enjoyable work environment, fun for campers and counselors.
