Developing software solutions for the current and next generation Leonidas system.+ Rapidly took ownership and responsibility over a few month deadline to integrate advanced sensors into our product by creating a gRPC microservice that controls and polls an external camera.

• Developed features and infra for TUs business initiatives and products in India.
• Designed and deployed microservices in C++ that process 1+MM transactions/day utilizing gRPC, leading to a 3% reduction in latency vs existing service logic.
• Streamlined API client testing by leading the integration of Postman/Wiremock, reducing related defects by 80% and increased developer productivity and experience.
• Implemented a Redis caching mechanism for duplicate request detection… Show more Developed features and infra for TUs business initiatives and products in India.
• Implemented a Redis caching mechanism for duplicate request detection, improving average application latency by 90%.
• Contributor to architectural design, agile organization, and development of scalable microservices and modular monolith solutions, migrating from a monolithic application.

• Co-lead the design and development of a SIGINT and Decision Aid product in C++/Python, earning a follow on contract.
• Aided in the design, development, and enhancement of an advanced online radar characterization framework.
• Contributed to a RF modeling and simulation environment in Python/MATLAB to test our products end to end at the PDW granularity.
• Researched and implemented higher fidelity EW test assets, resulting in increased capability test coverage.

San Diego, California

• Created a statistics and visualization framework to improve data analysis workflow.
• Made data collection procedure guide to organize assembly production test data.
• Developed prototype software for assembly production optimizations and automations.

- Did exploratory data analysis, and data cleaning, on a data set with over 8 million samples.- Reported exploratory findings, such as feature covariances, that were used to inform model choice.- Developed predictive models to help solve two separate regression problems—autoregressive andmultivariate regression tasks.- Trained and tested ARIMA, LSTM, and.
