Participated in the Leadership Strategy team, assessing the competitive landscape and identifying roadmap priorities.Led multiple teams across three major products, including the Link Index, STAT Analytics, and Data Services pipelines.Facilitated co-development between onsite engineering teams and an international pod of developers.Increased EBITDA by tracking and categorizing Capitalizable Development activities.Prepared data for Tax Attorneys, leading to significant R&D tax credits.Recommended an increased bid for a custom data contract, due to cost, development complexity, and the value of the intellectual property, leading to increased revenue of over 120K.
Facilitated the development of an agile roadmap and tasks to operationalize the goals of the MozGroup DEI council.Collaborated with other organizers of Gender Minorities in Tech ERG to ideate, develop, and present meetings.

Lead the Big Data team, responsible for the Link Index that supports the Moz Pro Link Explorer tool. Coached the team from a low-structure environment to using scrum.Facilitated team adoption of Moz's engineering best practices and cross-functional architecture reviews. Analyzed and documented operation of the Link Index deep learning algorithms, model features, and training. Defined Data Retention policy and other optimizations resulting in anticipatory savings of over $300K annually in cloud storage costs.

Managed engineers from interrelated but independent AI teams: Production, DevOps, ML/DL Research, and Data Science.Delivered AI/Analytics releases on HPE Cray EX, including TensorFlow, PyTorch and Spark on Docker/Kubernetes.Scoped and Managed multiple products and releases while addressing cross-team dependencies and deliverables.Coached and mentored teams and individuals in Agile methods and team dynamics.

* Facilitated and scoped releases of Cray's AI & Analytics offerings on XC, CS and Shasta, including several major ML/DL frameworks and libraries.* Delivered multiple releases to Urika-GX, including bug fixes for Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities, CentOS upgrade, and an expanded multi-tenant Secure Mode.* Implemented Scaled Agile practices, including tracking multiple tiers of requirements definition with increasing granularity, from the high level Product Initiative level, down to the Implementation level.* Lead the transition to an incremental release model, with focus on releasing from master branch, and keeping master always releasable.* Navigated teams through major transition and reorganization as Cray's R&D division ramped up its next generation platform.

SCRUM LEADER role, 2016-2018* Facilitated cross-functional teams in Cray's Analytics division for the Urika-GX, including User Interface, Core Analytics Applications, and Platform software teams.* Delivered Urika-GX 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0.SOFTWARE ENGINEER role, 2009-2016* Implemented various Big Data Use Case POCs and Pipelines in Scala with Spark.* Implemented parser operation conversion from Jena ARQ to internal serialized query format.* Implemented evaluation operators in SPARQL RDF Query Language for Cray Urika graph analytics.* Developed performance analysis tools for a massively multi-threaded supercomputer. * Extended Cray XMT runtime tracing output to produce results when programs terminate prematurely.

Presented material about data structures, such as Lists, Sets, Maps, Queues, Trees, as well as programming concepts such as Recursion, Polymorphism, Big O Notation. Designed homework exercises and in-class examples to support textbook and slide materials. Evaluated student work, provided feedback and accomodations, and held uncompensated office hours.

Developed components in new versioning system for implementation in Maven build. Converted several standalone test suites to be automated components in the build system.

Developed interactive visualization tool for Cray XMT compiler internal graph data structure. Documented behavior and implementation of graph traversal and visualization code generated.

Collaborated in with professor and other TAs to develop code criteria and section content. Reviewed code for accuracy and design specifications. Taught students programming concepts and programming languages.
