Software Engineer

Mar 2021Jul 2022 · 1 yr 4 mos

  • As part of the AI-Lab team, I played a key role in the development of platforms and tooling for real-time ML inference. I led a project consisting of 5 developers to enhance a service that provided configurable high-throughput pipelines. This required close coordination with multiple teams and stakeholders to ensure successful implementation of the project.
  • As an SRE for several production systems, I ensured that they met their performance targets by setting up and tracking SLAs and taking on-call duties. I also worked continuously to improve our practices and processes to increase efficiency and reduce downtime. As one of the improvements I've designed and implemented a tool for automatic optimization of parameters of a distributed database to further improve the platform's efficiency and scalability.
  • Stack: Go, Python, Docker/K8s, Private cloud

Machine Learning Engineer

Mar 2020Apr 2021 · 1 yr 1 mo · Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland

  • Worked closely with Data Science teams to reduce time to market and operational overhead. During my tenure, I've managed to introduce several MLOps best practices utilizing open source and AWS ML tools e.g. experiment tracking, production model monitoring. These changes resulted in a more streamlined model life-cycle, easier re-training, and significantly shorter time to market for new models (weeks to days).
  • Additionally, I was responsible for design and development of micro-services hosting ML models, automation of CI/CD pipelines for containerized applications and infrastructure provisioning. I've developed solutions to decouple architecture and enable integration with other components, while also monitoring and optimizing cloud costs.
  • Stack: Python, AWS, Terroform, Docker, CI/CD tooling

Software Engineer

Jul 2019Mar 2020 · 8 mos · Warsaw, Masovian District, Poland

  • As a member of a cross-functional team, I led collaboration efforts between multiple verticals. During my tenure, I designed and implemented a cloud-based test automation platform that significantly improved efficiency without negatively impacting day-to-day operations. This resulted in substantial cost savings of up to 20-30,000 USD/month in required infrastructure and ~60% reduction in required man hours.
  • Responsibilities included conducting on-site engagements with customers' technical teams to evaluate their current setup, present best practices, new features, and propose improvements. Additionally, I was responsible for triaging incoming issues with customers and product teams.
  • Stack: Python, AWS, Bash/PowerShell
