Developed and applied a benchmarking suite to identify performance bottlenecks and optimize database queries

Created a data access layer that executed complex queries in .3ms across all API endpoints, a reduction from a baseline of 1s

Deployed a PostgreSQL server to AWS and executed an ETL process on a dataset containing 15 million cumulative rows

Horizontally scaled a microservice architecture using an NGINX load balancer and Redis caching

Used profiling and stress-testing with k6 and Loader.io to guide performance optimizations, increasing throughput from 100 RPS to 10,000 RPS with +3ms latency increase over network latency and 0% error rate.

Directed a team of 6 as systems architect, providing app wireframe and designating overall data flow and interactions between frontend components

Designed and built backend including PostgreSQL database schema and REST API, ensuring 3ms server processing times

Developed responsive React components and pages within a Next.js app

Engineered a component library including carousel and image gallery viewer along with a design system to facilitate and streamline app development

Set up CI pipeline with GitHub Actions and wrote accompanying Jest testing suite

Designed and built product overview section with responsive image gallery zoom view that followed cursor movement

Developed systems for data QC, normalization, feature selection, and dimensionality reduction using PCA and UMAP/tSNE

Created a glioblastoma cancer stem cell classifier model through clustering analysis, providing statistical identification of differentially expressed biomarkers
