About

I'm passionate about computer science in many ways. I enjoy learning about algorithms and solving programming puzzles. I grew up with a passion to solve hard puzzles, this eventually lead me to CS. My current interests are (in no particular order) computer simulations, algorithms, robotics, sensor systems, and neural networking. Please contact me, I'd love to hear about any opportunities that you may have for me

Current Experience

Todyl

Senior Software Engineer

Jul 2024 – Present · 1 yr 10 mos · On-site

Developed Several new services written in Go and helped to standardize the process as Todyl transitioned to a microservice architecture from a monolith. This included setting up Prometheus metrics and alerting, and CICD for deployment and image creation. The service deprecates an old enrichment pipeline using RabbitMQ and transitions it to using Kafka. By changing data locality and architecture I was able to reduce AWS egress from 2TB a day to 7 GB and reduced hardware provisioning by 10X.
The services under my development were both on prem (managed via Salt) and deployed on Kubernetes (AWS EKS), using Helm templates and Terraform for TLS certs.

Cloudflare

Software Engineer

Dec 2021 – May 2024 · 2 yrs 5 mos · Denver, Colorado, United States

Working as a software engineer for the Workers Runtime, a high performance, asynchronous runtime for running JavaScript and web assembly based on V8 globally distributed on Cloudflare’s Edge. Workers had zero tolerance for downtime and is a lynchpin system for Cloudflare.
Written in low level C++ tasks included things such as implementing network RFCs.
Duties also included integrating with other systems, such as a configuration service written in Go, configuring infrastructure with Salt, and automating builds and tests using Bazel and Python. Specifically I maintained the ClickHouse database and inserters used for billing and metrics for all of workers.
Had on-call responsibilities for the most critical infrastructure at Cloudflare.
