Member of the Site Reliability Engineering team. I ensure reliable and efficient operation of the site (proactive arm of work), as well as respond to incidents through on-call rotation (reactive arm of work). Primary recent focus has been optimization and modernization of the data layer, in particular our PostgreSQL databases. Joined Academia as a full stack software engineer, SRE team member since Q3 2019, SRE team lead and Senior Software Engineer since Q2/Q3 2021.

Evaluated regression methods and tuned hyperparameters to predict properties of merging binary black holes. Delivered proof of concept module demonstrating an improved fitting routine using Gaussian Processes and Decision Trees.

Ran binary black hole simulations and investigated local measures of similarity to the Kerr spacetime.

Analyzed the effects of instrumental behaviors of the Planck satellite on data and sky maps from the mission through simulation. Created python bindings for C implementation of simulation code for data analysis.
