I'm a hardcore lover of all things learning and all things food :) Interests include: cloud, distributed systems, databasing, especially love solving problems of distribution, coordination, and design; ensuring operational integrity of cloud-based services; continuous-delivery; and big-data-analytics.

IBM Cloud Databases:

Architect highly available, resilient, Disaster Recoverable backend/distributed database systems offered -aaS to

customers on our Kubernetes backed Common Data Cloud Platform (running 25K+ critical database workloads on 100 clusters

backed by 20K worker nodes across 12 worldwide regions), with special attention given to ensuring:

customers' user experiences are top-notch and production-worthy.

SRE operations and Customer Support are smooth and seamless, both in the design of the technical investigative and

resolution architecture and the escalation flow from Support all the way through the pipeline to Database SME.

Mongo Backup and Restore are efficient and performant, meeting customers strict SLO requirements (reduced Restore

from 48H to 1H).

customer Connection Ingress and User Management into the DB systems works properly and is implemented

consistently across all database products.

Architect technical solutions and lead the phased delivery approach for BNPP’s most requested features: Datastax/Cassandra

Search, Mongo Point in time Recovery, Mongo Sharding.

Mentor and lead 10 junior engineers on delivery, design, implementation of above technologies.

Lead conversations with customers (i.e. Bank BNP of Paribas) to ensure their issues are resolved properly and their needs

are met appropriately by feature design.

Liaise with Managers, Directors, Product Managers, Compliance Engineers, and my team to design, lead, and deliver

commitments effectively, accurately, and timely.

JanusGraph on Compose:

Designed and implemented a dynamic graph management tool.

Implemented enhancements to prevent garbage collection pauses when querying large data in the backend system.

Named official JanusGraph committer December of 2017.

Ambrosia:

Designed graph model and implemented a generalized graph traversal REST API

Designed and implemented a NLP solution, which uses Spark, HDFS, Python NLTK to create the Nutrition Graph

2014 — 2015Yale University CareersUndergraduate Tutor

2014 — 2015

New Haven, CT

One course is: Mathematical Tools for Computer Scientists, which explores linear algebra, graph theory, combinatorics, probability theory, logic, and number theory. The second course is: Introduction to Programming.

I held office hours to aid students in their understanding of the course material in general, to help the students complete the weekly homework assignments, and to prepare the students for the tests.

2014 — 2015

New Haven, CT

I worked with Holly Rushmeier in Yale’s Computer Graphic’s Lab. I was exploring a cost effective way to measure the subsurface scattering parameters of an arbitrary heterogeneous material while

creating more realistic renderings. I used many statistical regression models to match simulated data to previously measured data. More information below under "Publications." This work became my Senior Thesis.

2013 — 2013Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES)Moncrief Undergraduate Summer Intern

2013 — 2013

Austin, Texas

Researched with Dr. Keshav Pingali in the Grid and Distributed Computing Department.

Collaborated with graduate students in examining methods to parallelize famous algorithms, such as Delaunay Triangulation and Refinement, and Barnes-Hut Force Algorithms.

Studied graph visualization.

Implemented a refined Force-Directed Replacement Algorithm in C++ that runs parallel.
