I was Populus' first senior engineering hire, brought on to up-skill the team and institute best practices like testing, code review, and good security. I now lead the engineering team at Populus, with a personal focus on our back end.

I oversee our back end APIs and data processing. We have a modern Python API built with FastAPI, Pydantic, and SQLAlchemy. Our data processing platform uses Airflow (running in GCP) to manage thousands of daily tasks. Our data processing heavily uses Pandas and SQL, including the geospatial extensions GeoPandas and PostGIS.

I worked on Clover's data platform, including our Airflow deployment, Postgres databases, developer tooling, and data pipelines. My work focused on helping Clover's employees have the data and tools they need to do their jobs effectively.

We used Python and SQL extensively, in particular tools like Django, Airflow, SQLAlchemy, and Postgres. In my time at Clover I was a team lead (for data infrastructure) and frequent tech lead on projects. I also mentored junior and mid-career engineers.

I led the design and development of several Python libraries used in an urban planning consulting business. The libraries include statistical modeling of real estate markets, data workflow orchestration, travel modeling, and synthesizing realistic populations based on Census data. We used much of the scientific Python stack including Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, and statsmodels. I made sure our software was well tested using TravisCI, built cross-platform releases so our customers could install our software, and wrote documentation of our software.

I performed work across all levels of an HTML5 web application focused on data analytics, visualization, and collaboration:

• Maintained and enhanced multi-host Python backend interfacing with MongoDB and custom data management and analytics libraries

• Built responsive, asynchronous client components using CoffeeScript, AngularJS, SASS, and semantic HTML5
