Between web projects, I set up their data warehouse & ETL systems. ### Back-End Engineer @ Dr.Jart+ Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Greater New York City Area - Developed a tailor-made sales reporting data pipeline that transformed a flow varying sales report formats into a central intuitive schema. - Automated manual reporting by integrating the data warehouse I produced into a custom dashboard with drill-downs according to critical areas in the business. Technologies used include AWS (SES, SQS, Lambda, RDS), Python (Pandas, Psycopg2, SQLAlchemy), and PostgreSQL. ### Full-Stack Engineer @ Ocusell APP Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Greater New York City Area Designed, developed, & implemented a dashboard UI/UX in React to extend the user experience & value beyond the native mobile application. Wrote bespoke android app & serverless cloud-based computer vision tools to assist the composition & optimization of images taken from the smartphone for real estate listings. Deployed server-side image processing tools on AWS lambda to assist auto-scaling image processing & optimization services off-device. I finally developed cloud architecture to host a blob-based data layer for sharing images between the native & dashboard client applications with an intermediate paywall using Stripe. ### Co-Founder & Engineering Lead @ Atomata Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | Greater Denver Area Built a full stack web application & IoT integrated data platform for cannabis farm management. Took the product from concept to market in 4 months. • Deployed to over 8,700 acres of industrial hemp domestically & internationally via strategic partnerships with hemp processors & farm co-ops. •Product lines composed of IoT sensor networks, computer vision systems, web application interface, mobile app, & automated data insight engine. • Effectively coordinated a team of 7 engineers & developers to iterate over the core MVP into a production stable solution. •Applied cutting edge development tools, infrastructure, & frameworks. Including React.js (Native & Web), Docker, AWS, serverless, embedded Linux, Redis, & MongoDB. ### Data Science Intern @ Arrow Electronics Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 Identified systematic errors impacting data integrity across Arrow’s largest components warehouses, affecting millions of dollars of inventory & compliance in external audits. •Utilized R, SQL, & the tidyverse for daily analysis, visualizations, and reporting to superiors.
