* Led team of three in broader group vision of decoupling internal customers from SQL Server direct connections. As owners of the Order database for the company, dealing with load and scaling issues had us move to an API based system.

Replaced monolithic system with a modular workflow framework, enabling greater extensibility. This included a reliable Java interface layer to RPCs provided by various teams, tolerant to job restarts and transient failure modes.

* Defined objective scoring function and built infrastructure for Longeron Shadowing competition with five remote teammates, extracting requirements from NASA. Consolidated results, reducing to a single integer score for the submission. Competition was used to save NASA millions whenever a module docked with the ISS.* Administered experimentation on top of the crowdsourcing platform. Altered the TopCoder platform to quantify incentives for competitors. Analyzed results of competitors, variables of cash and reputation within community or NASA.

* Designed and optimized algorithm to fit company products into any number of possible bins. Task resembled version of the knapsack problem; first enumerated all the possible configurations of bins, then packed the boxes of product into bins as tightly as possible.
