# Vy Tran > Senior Software Engineer at DNAnexus Location: Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/vytran I’ve always had a passion for science and technology that stems from my father bringing me into his computer science hobby. Not only did he give that young girl a dive into programming, but he also built computers with her! My first computer actually had a floppy disk! Thanks to growing up in this environment, I developed a problem-solving mindset and a passion to explore and potentially better problems that I come across. In my personal time, I am either in the kitchen, testing out a new recipe or making cookies; outside doing an activity such as hiking or skiing; or highly likely enjoying a good book. Feel free to reach out to me if you’d like to chat and network! :) ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ DNAnexus Jan 2023 – Present • Worked on a team that manages the companies data storage layer holding 30PB of biotech research data that is utilized by an upward of 45,000 researchers • Designed and built a new system for notifying customers about their usage limit status • Frequently worked on MongoDB query performance tuning on a Mongo cluster with tens of terabytes of data • Spec’d and implemented a new system which allows customers to visualize and analyze their billable usage over time • Worked closely with Product on design, project timelines, and planning • Acted as engineering lead on multiple projects ### Software Engineer @ DNAnexus Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Mountain View, California, United States • Implementation and maintenance of numerous endpoints on the company’s primary API service which handles over 200 million requests a day. • Updated legacy style cron services to use Dockerized lambdas triggered by Eventbridge rules • Refactored legacy code to modern async await patterns instead of antiquated async libraries • Leveraged Terraform, Lambda and other AWS services to build new microservices • Managed observability across multiple different tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, Splunk, and CloudWatch ### Data Analyst @ Judicial Council of California Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 | San Francisco Bay Area • Worked with engineering team to manage data ingestion including data validation and file format validation • Standardized data warehouse documentation for a better end user experience • Managed migrating 58 courts to new data warehouse version to ensure all courts are in compliance with new data entry procedures • Organized data input documentations for multiple formats including XML, CSV, and ASC • Leveraged SQL and STATA to compare courts historical data and ensure consistency • Use Tableau and PowerBI to generate visualizations of historical data for consumption by courts • Liaised between courts and engineering team to guarantee the needs of the end user are met • Performed manual QA testing to validate quality of engineering team releases • Managed UAT with courts to ensure successful release • Monitored end user technical complaints and worked with engineering team to provide them with actionable tasks • Communicated business decisions to stakeholding courts ### Analyst II (Contractor) @ Judicial Council of California Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Data Analyst @ CHRIMS, Inc. and PGSI Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | Pleasanton, CA • Documented unique processes around pulling, processing, auditing, and reporting data for each race track platform • Leveraged SQL to analyze gambling data and ensure compliance with strict federal anti-money laundering regulations • Performed manual QA testing to validate quality of engineering team releases • Defined new and enhanced features for the engineering team to improve efficiency of in-house data interface tooling ### Environmental Solutions Analyst(Contractor) @ FTI Consulting Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area • Extracted, consolidated, and normalized important environmental data of various companies’ practices as well as environmental law • Performed environmental regulation audits on past data to evaluate historical compliance trends ### Credit Operations Analyst (Contractor) @ Earnest Jan 2017 – Jan 2017 | San Francisco Bay Area • Evaluated and verified upward 40 loans per day utilizing data from Looker and credit reports • Leveraged credit reports from Transunion, Experian, and Equifax • Monitored loan life through Agiloft ### Assistant Marketing & Sales Operations Manager @ MyLifeEveryday Presents Jan 2013 – Jan 2016 | San Diego, CA • Lead a promotional sales team of 8 with consistent 50% higher ticket sales rate than other sales team in San Diego combined • Onboard new team members through personalized training protocol • Spearheaded several marketing campaigns for 5 yearly events – utilized social media outlets to promote event awareness – resulted in 4 of the events being sold out with 1 being 90% sold • Resource management: tickets and sales earnings for 5 yearly events catered to an upward of 7,000 attendees • Leveraged market research resulting in increased sales earnings to an upward of $10,000 per event ### Public Relations & Marketing Intern @ J.
