Senior-most software engineer at Physna, working directly with the CTO and Director of Enterprise Engineering. Primarily contributes to R&D engineering efforts around machine-learning based product features, core Physna search technologies, and rapid product-to-market-fit iterations in Physna's Enterprise product. Mentors senior software engineers and guides software engineering efforts including engineering practice, architecture, and design.Highlights:Led initial R&D and early product development on several machine-learning systems at the intersection of computer vision, deep learning, 3D geometry descriptors, and traditional (non-deep learning) ML techniques. Established objective metrics, benchmark datasets, and tooling to enable rapid experimentation by ML Engineers.Co-created a geometric classification system that has been the entry point for numerous customer POCs and sales leads. Developed a novel 3d model search algorithm based on geometric shape classification of CAD models as part of Physna's "GeoLabel Search".Oversaw and heavily contributed to development of a "2d-to-3d" computer vision system that finds 3d models based on 2d photographs, CAD drawings, and even hand-drawn images. Actively participates in R&D efforts on Physna's core search and matching algorithms.Established, organized, manage, and host bi-weekly "Tech Talks" for sharing deep dives on Physna system architectures, algorithms, language/tooling best practices, and other tech-audience-focused topics. Speakers are recruited from all over Physna. The talks have contributed significantly to distributed learning across Physna, and recordings of several talks are now regular parts of onboarding for members of the Product Engineering organization.

Senior Software Engineer in the Enterprise Engineering team. Lead a team of software engineers during critical Series A development leading up to the Series B funding round. Wore multiple hats - engineering manager, product manager for Physna's Enterprise product offering, and tech lead for the implementation efforts.Highlights:Performed first objective benchmarks of Physna's core matching algorithms, and drove fundamental changes in CAD model tessellation that led to 80% reductions in user-facing feature latencies, and more than doubling search indexing throughput.Led significant scaling and re-platforming efforts of the Enterprise product onto cloud-based, scalable infrastructure. This ultimately helped Physna achieve a Series B funding round of $20M led by Sequoia Capital, followed by a B1 round of $56M led by Tiger Global Management.

Tech Lead for a large team of 11 developers working on commercial applications and big data problems in the retail-independent pharmacy space. Dealing with problems around billions of records with real-time reporting using Apache Cassandra, NodeJS microservices, Java/SpringBoot, and .NET, with a variety of front ends such as AngularJS.Responsible for tech-skill uplift of the dev team and driving craftsmanship and quality in the "how" the applications get built, including guiding engineering discipline in test-driven development, software craftsmanship, and clean coding. Led regular "dev meetings" on engineering culture, developed software craftsmanship workshops, and organized/facilitated a software engineering-book bookclub.

Web application development in the Human Services space, using .NET MVC, AngularJS, and Bootstrap, with a strong TDD/BDD approach using NUnit, Jasmine, and Cucumber. Drives infosec training and process improvements related to the Microsoft Secure Development Lifecycle (e.g., Threat Modeling). Organizer for cross-team "Beer-n-Tell" technical knowledge sharing via bi-weekly lightning talks. Recent projects include a Ruby on Rails project with an Angular front end, working with Neo4J and Elasticsearch, with mobile components on UWP and Xamarin.iOS.

Senior technical contributor providing guidance and leadership for team direction, including coaching, mentoring, and engineering excellence. Team is working in the Human Services space, using Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, Bootstrap, Neo4j, and Elasticsearch, with a strong TDD approach using RSpec, Jasmine, and Cucumber.Cross-team organizer of development culture groups such as the bi-weekly "Beer-n-Tell" lightning talks and the informal "White Hats" infosec interest group. Organizer of information security awareness activities to build and improve the baseline for all parts of the company, especially the "non-engineering" parts of the house.

Adjunct Faculty for C# I: Introduction to Object Oriented Programming. Class covered basic programming constructs (conditionals, loops, methods, etc) as well as initial concepts in OO (classes, interfaces, inheritance, exceptions). .NET WinForms development was covered, as well as the barest coverage of web technologies and working with web services.Included weekly lectures and in-class labs, with weekly programming assignments.Unlike many of the other introductory programming classes at CSCC, this class strongly emphasized good programming practice - design of programs, legibility of code, and organization of projects. Later in the course, separation of concerns and distinguishing layers in applications was a driving concern.

Contributed to team efforts for creating large-scale platform tools for producing offers and related functionality within Amazon Local. Worked on team-level and individual technical projects to support internal users and other engineering teams at Amazon. Continued enrollment in the Amazon Security Certified program, and acts as owner for information security within the team. • Drove decommissioning efforts by eliminating obsolete systems, migrating clients and working with other teams to move onto currently supported platform systems. Team captain for a leading team in the "Patentpalooza" competition, generating over 40 submissions to the patent team and dozens of business ideas and novel customer features.

Worked with other engineers and PM/TPMs to clarify requirements and develop Amazon-scale, highly-available services and websites to support the merchant experience within Amazon Local, with both internal and external customers. Developed asynchronous messaging service for transactional communication. Drove process changes across the team for improved test coverage. Enrolled in the Amazon Security Certified program, and acted as the team owner for information security - i.e., the local "security guru". Worked within an engineering team to extend and create systems, improve and maintain availability, and reduce operational load. Key contributor to platform initiatives, developing common, re-usable components for teams across all of Amazon Local. Regular competitor in the Amazon Local hackathons, placing 2nd overall in the 2013 hackathon for prototyped ideas that benefited Amazon Local, customers, and merchants.

Led a technical team of software developers for the delivery of custom applications supporting HR efforts for the university. Guided efforts in creating and updating SDLC and software engineering best practices for .NET applications (both WinForms and ASP.NET) - revision control, release management, automated testing, and web security. Coordinated team's work with BA/PMs and directly with clients. Additionally functioned as a technical resource for applications as discussed above, working alongside fellow team members on custom applications and the implementation of off-the-shelf systems.
