# Kawin S. > Software Engineer at Samsara Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/kawin ## Work Experience ### Software Engineer @ Samsara Jan 2024 – Present ### Software Engineer @ Ikigai Labs Jan 2023 – Jan 2024 | Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States Scaled up capacity and throughput of customizable data pipelines at a Series A startup by distributing computational and memory load over machine clusters. - Developed implementations of modular platform components that operate on distributed datasets using Ray (by Anyscale). - Increased (by over 100x) the size of datasets that can be feasibly supported on the platform from <10GB to >1TB. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Reverie Labs Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 Developed a Python API that facilitates the customization of computational chemistry pipelines running Amber (for molecular dynamics simulations) and TeraChem (for quantum mechanics computations) using modular components. - Parallelized workloads by formulating a series of computations as nodes in a dependency graph. - Used Argo Workflows on Kubernetes to orchestrate jobs in Docker containers. - Yielded over 3x speedup on some workflows. - Made computational chemistry tasks more robust to node errors or AWS spot instance termination. Advanced molecule generation efforts. - Designed a new interface and implemented 2 new molecule generation methods for manipulating and composing different combinations of substructures (fragments) when generating molecules. - Integrated Unigen into a data pipeline that would automatically filter and use ML models to predict certain desired properties (e.g. ADMET). ### Software Engineer @ Reverie Labs Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 Lead developer for Unigen, a platform for generating/enumerating molecules. - Devised a unified, common interface for disparate generation methods. This facilitated the parallelization of molecule generation tasks across multiple tools and their integration into data pipelines. - Implemented a suite of enumeration tools based on molecule generation algorithms from academic papers, open-source packages, etc. - Created a Django web application allowing chemists to configure a selection of tools to run on a list of molecules. ### Software Engineer Intern @ Wayfair Jan 2020 – Jan 2020 | Boston, Massachusetts, United States Internship cancelled due to COVID-19. ### Undergraduate Student Researcher @ Center for Computational Biology, UC Berkeley Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Berkeley, California, United States Undergraduate studying the distribution, copy number variation and polymorphism of tRNA genes across human populations. Analyzed correlations between tRNA expression and codon usage rates across different cell lines. ### Software Developer @ Jadoo Technologies Inc. Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Berkeley, California, United States Worked on software interfacing with lab-on-a-chip device that uses functionalized carbon nanotubes to determine chemical composition of small samples - Created an integrated SQL lookup of chemical data to determine chemical composition of a sample based on device outputs - Developed functionalities for processing and visualization of cyclic voltammetry data detected by device ### Student Mentor @ Computer Science Mentors Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Berkeley, California, United States Provided tutoring support, helped to create resources and fostered a close-knit, more personal learning environment for students in lower division computer science courses through twice-weekly small-group sessions. ### Undergraduate Tutor @ University of California, Berkeley, College of Chemistry Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 | Berkeley, California, United States Provided small-group tutoring and conducted review sessions for lower division chemistry, physics and mathematics courses. ### Research And Development Intern @ Covar Pharmaceuticals Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Toronto, Canada Area Worked on formulation of a dry powder enteric coating for targeted delivery of active pharmacological compounds, and determination of suitable parameters and techniques for production process. ### Summer Intern @ MeDx Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 Med-tech start-up providing telehealth services augmented with accessible point-of-care testing diagnostic capabilities in the Southeast Asian region. - Formulated operations workflow and onboarding for pilot programs to be launched in partnership with Philippine schools and Health Management Organizations - Collated and analyzed data on pricing, competitors and target audience in 5 Southeast Asian countries ### Chemistry Olympiad Trainer @ Mosaic Learning Centre Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 Taught students at Raffles Girls’ School, Hai Sing Catholic School & Tanjong Katong Secondary School in preparation for the Singapore Junior Chemistry Olympiad. ## Education ### Bachelor's degree in Computer Science University of California, Berkeley ### Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-levels Raffles Institution ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/kawin-s --- Source: https://flows.cv/kawin JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/kawin/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-29
