Acqd. Siemens 2023

I worked on the team responsible for the modernization of the syncing pipeline for Corporate Actions (dividend payments, stock splits, etc.). As part of this team, I helped transition the pipeline from an HTTP sync job to a Kafka streaming pipeline. My most notable contributions as part of this team were setting up the Kafka topic and consumer, and implementing consumer logic as well as implementing dead letter object blocking. I worked primarily in Python and utilized Robinhood’s internal Kafka libraries.

At Robinhood, I designed and implemented a web interface that enables engineers to troubleshoot and reprocess errors in Kafka consumers gracefully, now used by 3 Robinhood internal services. The interface allows engineers to debug failure case and apply operations such as skipping or republishing, for each individual issue or in bulk, creating a significant reduction in on-call engineer burden. I developed the application using React frontend, Python and Django backend, and custom Robinhood Kafka libraries.

Worked with Java, PostgreSQL, YAML, Flyway, Gradle, and more to build out a new version-controlled database-update system.
