# Helena T. > Software Engineer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/helenat Software Engineer with React + Typescript experience. Interested in bringing designs to life for a great user interface! ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer - HW Automation Team @ Together AI Jan 2025 – Present • Partnered with the hardware automation team to ship dynamic GPU scaling per cluster. This allowed users to self-serve scale adjustments, reducing friction and enabling high-spend customers to scale effortlessly. Managed a safe and targeted rollout using feature flags, ensuring the right capabilities were gradually enabled for the appropriate users. • Surfaced backend cluster phase timeline metadata by extending the API response and integrating it into the UI. This gave users real-time visibility into cluster lifecycle status directly within the playground. • Streamlined GPU Clusters pages by eliminating redundant refetching and improving data flow, resulting in faster page loads and a cleaner codebase. Refactored legacy, hardcoded logic to follow best practices. Added support for new substrates and built an endpoint to future-proof the platform for new GPU types. Add support for users to request unavailable GPUs by a start date, ensuring the forge team to be aware of customer needs. • Resolved a critical bug causing GPU clusters to intermittently disappear by implementing query caching based on request user ID. Cleaned up the UI display by ensuring Slurm nodes are no longer miscounted as GPU machines, improving accuracy for users. ### Front End Software Engineer @ Together AI Jan 2023 – Jan 2025 | San Francisco Bay Area • Led frontend implementation of autoshutdown functionality for dedicated endpoints, in collaboration with backend and design teams. This feature improved customer experience, reduced support tickets, and significantly decreased refunds for unused GPU time. • Led development of key admin panel features, enabling staff to search for users, stop dedicated endpoints on demand, update user passwords (previously unsupported by users), refresh user API keys. Significantly improved internal workflows, allowing faster resolution of customer issues without requiring direct database access. • Added support for the Whisper audio model in the model playground. Implemented functionality for users to record audio directly from their devices, submit inference requests, and receive model responses in a clear, user-friendly format. Expanded playground capabilities. • Spearheaded UI work for the Flux LoRA release. Built “Share” functionality for LoRA paths, sanitized user inputs, and allowed multiple path entries in a request. Managed feature flags for internal testing and general rollout, ensuring smooth deployment. • Built and maintained a scalable, reusable component library using Tailwind CSS to streamline development and ensure UI consistency across the app. • Resolved UI bugs like duplicate model entries, improving UX clarity. Enabled users to delete models and endpoints, empowering them with more control over their workflows. • Rebuilt broken analytics tables to restore visibility into inference activity and token usage. increasing internal productivity and supporting data-driven decisions. • Refactored legacy code to adopt the internal component library and modern coding practices. Decoupled similar model types to reduce code brittleness and improve maintainability. ### Consultant, Software Engineer @ NobHill Labs Jan 2023 – Jan 2023 Migrate existing infrastructure of a startup AI product to another platform and update the frontend using Figma designs, to create a demo-ready product.
