# Kamal Radharamanan > Ph.D Student, Senior Software Engineer Location: New York, New York, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kamalradharamanan Currently pursuing Ph.D., otherwise very experienced in development and design of full-stack web applications, data visualizations, analytics, and single-page applications. Some experience in Progressive Web Applications, WebGL, and WebAssembly. Effective in early-stage start-ups where self-direction is required; equally effective in larger companies with a formal reporting structure. Reasonably good manager of small teams. Interested in more technical projects, especially focused on bioinformatics, imaging, and graphics. Would like to leverage background in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Can learn new programming languages relatively quickly. ## Work Experience ### Research Affiliate @ New York University Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | Manhattan, New York, United States Research Affiliate at the Bergelson Lab where I learned DNA extraction, protoplasting and transfection, tissue culture, and other wet lab techniques relevant to the study of plants-pathogen interactions. Also developed a database application to catalog the seed warehouse and the group website. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Glossier, Inc.

This new product was released and is served on billions of impressions a day. I worked in vanilla Javascript, Python, Scala, Java, and learned the specifications of the VPAID and VAST standards. My successes here include: Building a DOM abstraction library and lightweight development framework for rapid iteration with no external dependencies. Successfully negotiating usage of a lightweight Promise-polyfill for handling asynchrony. Re-architecting and re-implementing core video verification product in record time–the internal interface being essentially a video player, and the external interface being essentially a VPAID ad unit. Delegating sub-tasks as necessary to 3 temporary team-members to meet an aggressive deadline. Building a component-testing framework in node.js to interface with legacy Python QA stack. This allows integration testing against various client environments to ensure proper functioning of ad units with different combinations of players. Leader of Javascript weekly bookclub, where all Javascript engineers read and discussed as a forum: You Don't Know JS: ES6 and Beyond (Simpson), Node.js Design Patterns (Casciaro), The Pragmatic Programmer (Hunt).
