I co-founded PDS to give fisheries the answers they need to save the ocean and improve the lives of fishermen, using deep software insights from purpose-built hardware. I was responsible for our software technology stack, from firmware to cloud processing to user applications.
The fishery-analysis platform I created was recognized as industry-leading with numerous awards (National Geographic Marine Protection Prize, Seafood Champion Award for Innovation).
Key accomplishments:
• Scaled database architecture to enable 500% YOY growth while providing customers complex real-time analysis into their data (PostgreSQL, AWS RDS, Cassandra)
• Built scalable analysis pipeline that processed billions of records streamed from fishing boats, including parser for proprietary OTA data stream, behavior analysis engine, and alerting & reporting (Ruby, C, AWS, PostgreSQL)
• Optimized web application for low-bandwidth/connectivity while enabling interactive mapping of 1M+ data points (React, ES6/Javascript, PostGIS)
• Sped factory hardware testing 10x with automated test suite (Embedded C)
