Gordian Software is on a mission to redefine air travel by building the Operating System of Travel. We do this by layering intelligent software on top of existing systems to make every decision involved with booking a flight as easy as just pressing a button.

Currently I am working on leading improvements in infrastructure and observability to improve stability and robustness to the core application platform.

Pindrop applies cutting edge artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in order to bring security, identity, and trust to every voice interaction.

Now a late-stage startup, when I joined the company was going through a period of exponential growth. In a relatively short period of time I had been exposed to many layers of the application stack and have gained significant experience in many aspects of software engineering.

The needs of working at such a startup have exposed me to non-trivial experience in many software engineering topics including: data-engineering, cli development, library development, tooling improvements, analytics, distributed applications, ci/cd, build tooling, sql (database) optimizations, and much more.

Highlights:

* Architected and implemented a framework built on top of AWS Lambda and Terraform allowing for programmatic management of internal platforms

[kubernetes, rds, terraform, aws lambda]

* Worked with internal support team to design and implemented a process to automatically migrate customers into our cloud environment.

* Created developer tooling to spin up full production environments using firecracker virtual machines enabling a deployment process which has decreased from ~10 minutes to ~30 seconds

* Discovered significant cost saving opportunities by analyzing a complex build system and designing an alternative process to reduce development costs by over $100K yearly. [esbuild,snowpack,deno,node.js]

* Implemented an alternate build system for a large production-critical react application using esbuild instead of webpack. Eliminated hundreds of npm dependencies in the process and reduced the build duration by over 99% (from > 7 minutes to < 6 seconds!)

* Overhauled a monolithic legacy application into a modular React-based architecture resulting in over 85% code coverage and a 87% decrease in build time.

* Programmed a performance testing utility which could simulate phone call data at a rate of over 2 billion calls a year.

[Ruby, Rails, Bash]

* Maintained performance critical code and implemented bottleneck-optimizations in a distributed high-performance application.

[Ruby, Rails, Typescript, Python, Go]

* Pushed for and executed an initiative to improve automated code linting in a legacy application. Oversaw a 93% reduction of lint warnings and errors.

[Rubocop, Ruby, Rails]

* Designed the architecture for a design system of reusable components.

[React, Javascript, Typescript,Rollup]

* Created a framework for building a unified UI which relied on GraphQL to allow for a modular system of backend/frontend interaction.

[React, GraphQL, Apollo, JavaScript, Typescript]

* Led application development team, provided subject matter expertise, and collaborated with other teams to build features which closed a multi-million dollar contract on time.

* Improved data processing algorithms to decrease computation time by over 98% (from 218s to 3.5s).

[SQL, Performance]

* Designed and implemented continuous integration pipeline to improve efficiency of build process decreasing build time by 80% (from 25 min to < 5).

[Ruby, CI/CD, Bash, DevEx]

* Worked with multiple stakeholders to determine application requirements and implemented custom internal configuration management software.

[React, Redux, Javascript, Flow.js]

* Architected and implemented a reporting application capable of performing complex queries over vast datasets containing data about hundreds of millions of phone calls a year.
