## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Automata
Jan 2024 – Present

### Senior Software Engineer @ Opentrons Labworks Inc.
Jan 2017 – Jan 2021 | New York City Metropolitan Area
Helping biologists automate their workflows on an affordable, open-source pipetting robot! 
- We're open source so you can see all my activity over my years at Opentrons on https://github.com/opentrons/opentrons including contributions, PR reviews, and RFCs
- I was the initial developer and architect of Protocol Designer and served as technical lead as our squad was built out. Protocol Designer is a complex and highly interactive React + Redux + Typescript webapp for biologists to design and modify protocols using the Opentrons pipetting robot platform.
- I designed and maintained the JSON protocol schema we used for our protocols, a domain-specific language of atomic commands performed on the robot. I'm a strong advocate of schemas and RFCs and thoughtful communication across technical and product teams!
- Very closely collaborated with product + design. IMO it's essential to have cross-disciplinary teams when building a novel application.
- So much more!! It's a *journey* being part of a quickly-evolving startup.
