• Worked on the development of the new Elastic Process Execution system (EPEx) that updated all ofAppian’s backend processes from a proprietary language to a modern Java/Kubernetes stack offeringsubstantial performance improvements while maintaining backwards compatibility with the legacysystem• Implemented the backend logic for EPEx in Java which executes Appian’s low‑code processes andhandles abstract data manipulation to support a variety of business operations• Developed the microservice infrastructure for EPEx with Kubernetes that allowed for on demand scaling in both single‑tenant and multi‑tenant deployments to AWS• Collaborated with product owners to provide technical guidance on feature scope, priority, andfeasability to ensure on time delivery

• Lead development of a full stack application using Python and React to visualize aircraft flight pathsand perform geospatial analysis to determine if they intersect/approach user defined polygons. Flightpaths were constructed from large sets of time series data and built into polylines using PostGIS andGeoPandas for analysis• Rapidly prototyped applications to analyze military orders and flag previously unidentified asset overlap. These applications required integration of multiple coordinate systems to yield effective queryresults• Worked on a small team to develop a cyber defense platform using SvelteJS and Python, whichallowed non‑technical users to construct custom data pipelines capable of performing GPU‑accelerated analytics• Built a Data Mesh platform that connected multiple military data stores with differing formats andallowed for querying through a single endpoint. This platform supported joins and indirect associations as well as geospatial queries

• Developed a new algorithm for extracting ductility parameters from tension specimens using full‑field displacements. The previous method for obtaining these parameters used each specimen asa single data point and required testing multiple different specimens. The new process allowed forobtaining the parameters from a single specimen and provided thousands of data points dramaticallyincreasing resolution and decreasing testing costs• Developed software to automate the process of extracting and processing virtual extension measure‑ments from over 100 GB of images using Python and Pandas• Recipient of the Nuclear Energy University Program Fellowship, funded by the US Dept. of Energy

Clearfield, Utah, United States

• Designed, built, and installed new systems for manufacturing machines• Designed many small improvements to current machines• Developed and updated CAD files and engineering drawings• Collaborated with multiple departments and contractors

King Salmon, Alaska, United States

Imagine deadliest catch, but smaller boats and salmon instead of crab. I spent 2 months on the Bering Sea to pay a full years worth of tuition. I am still not sure if it was worth it.
