I was the sole data engineer responsible for building and maintaining a robust data pipeline and data collection infrastructure that gathered terabytes of publicly available data for the GameWisp Connect product. I utilized Python, Node.js, Apache Airflow, and various Google Cloud products such as BigQuery, Dataflow, and Cloud Functions to support the collection, synthesis, organization, and analysis of this data. Finally, I used Python and other tools to provide analyzed data for customer facing products through the use of REST APIs and Pub/Sub systems.- Designed, developed, deployed, and maintained Node.js and Python services responsible for collecting and transporting billions of rows of data from public facing sources to Google BigQuery- Maintained all infrastructure responsible for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data- Scaled the data pipeline to support terabytes of data collection and delivery via REST APIs with 99.999% uptime- Worked closely with product teams to design REST APIs and Pub/Sub systems for consuming data and ensure that data is correctly and meaningfully coupled to products in a way that is beneficial to end users- Utilized and scaled various novel data collection methods that leveraged third party public APIs, internal APIs, browser scraping, and more- Supported the Data Science team by providing development infrastructure and other tools necessary for data analysis

I worked as a full-stack engineer primarily on the GameWisp Subscriptions product - a fan monetization and rewards platform for live-streamers and video content creators. I developed product features using Laravel and Knockout while following the agile methodolgy. - Consistently delivered documented, tested, and production-ready code on schedule- Built new user-facing product features- Enhanced and updated current features- Created tools and features for stakeholders within the company- Implemented OAuth signup and login for multiple platforms- Designed and developed high traffic REST and Websocket APIs for third-party developers- Built several Twitch extensions using Node.js and Vue

I performed precision ion chamber calibrations in accordance with strict protocol from the American Association of Physcists in Medicine (AAPM). Radiation therapy calibrations included Cobalt-60 Air Kerma (AAPM TG-21), Cobalt-60 Dose to Water (AAPM TG-51), Cesium-137 Air Kerma, and X-Ray beams from 15 kVp to 250 kVp.

I developed a procedure for the micro-fabrication of liquid crystal droplets with controlled size and geometry. This involved designing and assisting with the machining of a custom microscope stage with heating element, preparing samples for analysis in a class-100 cleanroom facility, various techniques from soft lithography, and using image processing to measure contact angles of liquid crystal droplets on patterned surfaces. I worked independently and in conjunction with a senior member of the lab. I presented project progress weekly at lab meetings.
