## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Google
Jan 2023 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area
I write algorithms that tune large-language models.

### Software Engineer @ Google
Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area
I developed optimization algorithms and machine learning techniques that help people make optimal decisions.

### iOS Developer @ Unknown
Jan 2021 – Present | San Francisco, California, United States
Celerie is a simple, privacy-focused calorie counter. I am the sole developer. I wrote it with the following technologies:
• SwiftUI was used to write the user interface.
• Itegration with Edamam provides the food database. (Users can create custom foods for missing items.)
• Combine processes network requests and user events.
• CloudKit syncs data between a user’s devices.

### Senior Data & AI Research Engineer @ Citrine Informatics
Jan 2018 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco, California, United States
I wrote software that many of the world’s largest companies (Boeing, Panasonic, BASF, and others) use to accelerate their chemicals and materials development. At Citrine, I led efforts to develop global optimization and machine learning algorithms specifically for materials. Some problems I’ve worked on include:
• co-inventing a patented method to featurize materials,
• training random forests with little data (each data point can cost >$1M and take several months to acquire),
• developing optimization algorithms to find materials that meet target objectives(I implemented an algorithm that improved the quality of suggested experiments by 100x), and
• quantifying uncertainty (experiments are expensive, I helped develop methods that suggest experiments low uncertainty or high potential).
