Lead design and execution of a data startup focused on translating the digital RF world into the physical world. Creating the next generation of security via decomposing cellular, wifi and bluetooth signals around us.- Engineer number 1; Created initial prototypes- Responsible for several generation iterations on our cloud architecture, applied machine learning research, backend software, security, dev ops CI/CD flows, and engineering operations.- Grew several teams simultaneously relating to software, infrastructure, research, and external API integrations. Responsible for an org of 14 engineers across 3 core teams.- Created novel approaches for collecting and building models on top of Cellular, Wifi, and Bluetooth data streams to classify the ever moving targets of real world electronics.- Continuous cost optimization applied to evolving cloud design that ingests extremely high velocity data- Designed and built internal machine learning platform and stream computation engine that focuses on key principals of realtime data, historical time series, easily deployable offline models, massive simulation, and visualization. Inspiration taken from past DARPA programs focused on AutoML, active learning, along with ingenuity dealing with requirements of high velocity data and realtime consumption.
