experience

Restored Observation Architecture (OA) performance metrics on Xe2+ GPUs after hardware changes broke counter reporting, re-enabling Vulkan performance queries and GPU counter capture in tools like RenderDoc
Profiled graphics workloads to identify GPU/driver bottlenecks and inform performance optimizations
Diagnosed and fixed bugs in ANV, Intel’s open-source Vulkan driver in Mesa

Designed and deployed a gRPC-based service to modernize a legacy 32-bit C API, enabling language-agnostic and 64-bit consumption across multiple internal clients
Led the centralization of CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, improving build reliability and resource utilization
Migrated multiple production GUI applications from a deprecated XVT framework to MFC, reducing technical debt and unblocking future feature development
Built and deployed a Microsoft Teams bot to surface build health, failures, and critical code changes, improving developer feedback loops
Contributed to the migration of a large C/C++ codebase from 32-bit to 64-bit, addressing memory model and compatibility issues in production systems
Developed Go microservices on Kubernetes for a greenfield SCADA platform

Created a Windows service that profiles system for OS info, installed products, and product versions on SCADA nodes
Implemented interprocess communication between above service and existing interop service to allow remote access
Authored design documents for various modules in Confluence, along with test cases included for quality assurance
Kicked off migration of software licensing suite from Windows to Linux for use in containerized deployments

Researched reconfiguration as a common operation in distributed systems with Dr. Ji-Yong Shin
Formulated an approach to utilizing reconfiguration to derive a performance or resource utilization benefit in real time
Modified the Raft consensus protocol in etcd, a distributed key-value store, to allow for splitting and merging clusters
Compiled findings into a research showcase presentation and poster board, and final report with code documentation

Contributed to Sierra, a GIS rendering engine used to track wildfire perimeters for firefighting programs (e.g., FIRIS)
Integrated an autonomous scanning module that performs area scans en route to a destination
Implemented multithreaded coordination between scanning, proximity alert, and gimbal control modules
Developed support for FLIR infrared scanners for use with human interface devices

Taught Discrete Math, Data Structures & Algorithms, Computer Graphics, and Networking to classes of 100+ students
Covered concepts such as boolean algebra, counting, discrete probability, inductive proofs, recursion, trees/graphs, operating systems, concurrency, and networking layers
Reviewed, debugged, and gave feedback on thousands of lines of code on a weekly basis
