I manage the teams owning our core research product suite, used daily by almost 100k analysts globally to discover and refine ideas, organize them, and track them over time. We connect with a vast and ever growing corpus of data (structured and unstructured data, news, filings, everything!) allowing clients to sift through it and find what matters to them. Increasingly we're leveraging AI to better connect content to clients automatically and to help spot trends as soon as possible.We have teams focusing on everything from the front-end / user experience, to managing our search infrastructure, to leveraging the latest AI to improve everything.Collectively our teams leverage many open source technologies, contribute back to them, and develop our own in-house stack to put together and make sense of vast, heavily nuanced, and rapidly changing data sets.We're also growing! If the above sounds enticing, don't hesitate to reach out to me!Setting:- Tech Used: SOLR, HBase, traditional relational databases/SQL- Coding: python, groovy, c++, javascript, and standard web stack- Control: github, jenkins, gtest/gmock, coverity- WFlow: Agile/scrum- Philanthropy: HEAVY! You are encouraged to help others, and well supported in doing so! (we're one of the most philanthropic companies in the world...seriously, check it out!)- Green Status: HEAVY! We're focused on minimizing environmental impact! (we even help other companies work towards this!)- Pantry: Always stocked. Lots of coffee. Ice cream Fridays in the summer, and other specials!

I head a team building software to help analyze correlations between massive financial data sets, the changes within them, and what the impact of those changes are (or may be). We're a new team, starting fresh, and our clients are some of the top financial firms on the planet, relying on our analysis for their day-to-day decisions.We leverage many open source technologies, contribute back to them, and develop our own in-house stack to put together and make sense of vast, heavily nuanced, and rapidly changing data sets.

2013 - 2016: Engineer, Team Lead - Company Earnings & EstimatesLead on a team of 14 developers responsible for all core data and analytics related to company financials: what companies report, what analysts are saying about them, how those views are changing over time, and what the trends are. Our software covers over 30K companies, thousands of data points per company at any point in time (with up to 20+ years history), and over 3K analysts researching and estimating many aspects of each company. Large data, heavily nuanced, and constantly changing.Our products directly aid 100K+ daily clients to quickly make sense of it all. Our data and analytics are used throughout the Bloomberg product and website, and is some of the most popular in the company.Setting:- Coding: C++, javascript, python- Control: github, jenkins, gtest/gmock, coverity- WFlow: Agile/scrum- Challenges: constantly evolving environment, nuanced data, and scaling (being popular is a challenge!)2011 - 2012: Engineer, Architect - Company Earnings & EstimatesResponsible for core development and architecture of the back and front-end systems for this team.See above for team description and setting.Responsible for migrating team to github and instituting gtest/gmock usage,.note: details about specific projects are unavailable for public disclosure.

Created and actively maintain numerous open source projects, including the following highlights:- oxbar: a configurable x11 status bar (think polybar) for openbsd that showcases a number of stats- vitunes: a command line equivalent of iTunes written in C with a curses interface and vi-like interaction.- phpSymon: a PHP application that collects and displays information gathered by the popular symon/symux software. Used by system administrators for quick overviews of computer & network statistics.- Numerous other desktop applications for the collection and viewing of various system information.See my website or github for more details.I've only been sporadically active with these for the past couple years (kids will do that!)

Taught numerous courses, ranging from introductory computer science and C++, data structures and algorithms, to advanced formal methods and formal verification courses. I was also involved heavily in organizing, leading, and teaching our university's annual "Computer Science Summer Camp" for 2 years, where local high school students could enroll and get hands-on experience building everything from simple games, online multiplayer games, analytic software, and more.In the summer of 2008 I was awarded the College of Engineering "Professor of the Quarter" as a graduate student (the first, and so far only, graduate student/non-PhD to receive the honor).

- Developed a framework for eCommerce and community websites, serving 12 major clients including 3 cities and 2 county governments, geared towards promoting small-business development.- Developed and maintained numerous application modules for all client websites, including user profiles, login/authentication, mailing, forums, and our core business applications around posting/selling/exchanging goods and services.- Developed and maintained our core data model in PostgreSQL, as well as ran operations on that database cluster. This DB leveraged a star model, with 30+ raw tables, and leveraged pgsql's features for sharding and materialized views (caches) to seamlessly and cheaply serve all our needs. I was responsible for all ops with this DB. Zero downtime and zero performance issues.- Instituted version control (git), a standard coding style guide, a proper MVC separation of our codebase, and a 3-tier environment (development, staging, production) for rollouts and testing.Setting:- Data Tech: PostgreSQL, redis- Coding: C++, python, PHP- Front End: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Started a game company with some friends from undergrad at college. I successfully petitioned my university to allow me to do my fourth and final 6-month internship to pursue this. We had a great idea, leveraging GPUs for calcs other than graphics (specifically game physics related calcs...remember how you used to be able to by dedicated 'physics cards'?). This is, of course, common place today and has been for 10+ years.Great idea, great devs, but *horrible* execution on our part. Rather than focusing on developing our core idea and a PoC, we tried creating a whole game. From scratch. And then we said "let's create a game DYNASTY!". Without even a single game (or part of a game) completed yet.We exhausted ourselves and our funds pretty quick, and talks with VCs were strained (as you can imagine).Though a failure, it was fun and a huge learning experience.

- Developed and maintained numerous order-entry applications (both online and client-based) that were responsible for processing between $3 and $5 million in sales per day. This included the applications and logic responsible for core order processing, reviewing, and reporting.- Also developed numerous applications allowing clients to customize complex drive-chain, motor, and drive configurations which they could then translate into an order-able set of products and instructions on how to configure them. This served industries ranging from industrial automation, food service processing, and even medical/lab technologies.- Lead a 2 month long project overseeing 2 other developers to design extensive application usage reporting tools used throughout much of the company's software. This was the company's first serious effort to track client engagement and the overall efficiency of our application interfaces and workflows.- Developed an online application allowing the company to quickly and easily build online forms to be used for both employees and clients.- Responsible for creating various application, data, and communication libraries used in applications throughout the company.Setting:- Data Tech: Oracle, DB2- Coding: C#/.NET, C- Front End: ASP, HTML, CSS

· Automated the creation of daily financial reports detailing all financial aspects of GE Plastics used daily by senior business administration. Previously it required 3 individuals working 5 hours each day. · Designed and implemented several 6-sigma project management and reporting tools used by 90+ company-wide projects and their managers. · Developed course material for, and taught, a class to 12 GE developers on Active Server Pages (ASP) programming and database integration.Setting:- Data Tech: Oracle- Coding: C, C++- Front End: ASP, HMTL, CSS, Javascript
