Work Experience

Juniper Networks, Inc. (formerly 128 Technology, acquired Nov. 2020)

• Improved agility and code maintainability by establishing and enforcing best practices. Reduced time to test and deliver features with automation and workflow ergonomic improvements.
  • Caught bugs before deployment to customers by adding static analysis tools (linters and formatters) to continuous integration (CI). Improved developer efficiency by implementing 6 custom checks for correct usage of in‐house libraries.
  • Reduced time‐per‐build by 3–4 minutes by identifying and and eliminating sources of Bazel and CMake cache invalidation, reducing developer build and test iteration time to maximize productivity.
  • Decreased developer time spent writing boilerplate by automatically generating documentation, mock interface implementations, and vendored dependencies. Improved productivity by enabling IDE language server support.
• Took ownership of an application used to deploy and upgrade 50,000+ devices across more than 100 customer networks.
  • Improved upgrade reliability and download speeds by integrating the installer with a Content Delivery Network (CDN). Implemented limited access to beta and alpha software for selected customers.
  • Increased customer maintenance speed from 20‐30 routers/week to 250‐300 routers/day by building a custom automated upgrade application for over 2,500 sites, eight management planes, and two regions.
  • Kept customer devices up‐to‐date to avoid common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) by implementing installer functionality to perform in‐place operating system upgrades.
• Paved the way for integration with the Mist AI cloud by leading the design and implementation of a new upgrade service to perform image‐based (A/B) firmware upgrades of the SSR platform, check for updates and perform downloads.
  • Improved reliability of SSR upgrades by implementing automatic revert, restoring systems after faulty upgrades.
  • Enable customers to utilize powerful cloud network analysis and manage routers without a direct connection or dedicated management controller device by driving upgrades via the Mist AI cloud user interface.
  • Improve reliability from the legacy package‐based upgrade with device health checks and avoiding in‐place upgrade process that could result in corrupt installations.
  • Grew from novice to resident expert in the Go programming language in under a year.

STEP Tools, Inc.

• Enabled customers to visualize and optimize manufacturing by building a 3D web application to simulate machining parts.
• Integrated existing native C++ bindings into a Node.js backend and a Three.js frontend renderer.
• Won 2nd place in the MTConnect Student Challenge.

GlobalFoundries

• Educated current and new‐hire employees in company quality assurance policies by developing 2 educational scenario‐based games for use in technical training curriculum. Taught players trade‐offs and consequences of quality‐impacting decisions in simplified manufacturing simulations.
• Improved employee usability, efficiency and reliability of training record‐keeping by contributing to database design for migration to a new learning management system (LMS).

Coursework

Game Development I & II

Working in small teams, built four small games and one larger game, using four different game engines (Unity, Unreal 4, Cocos2D, and HaxeFlixel). Implemented a time‐travel game mechanic via a custom Blueprint in Unreal C++.

Experimental Game Design

Built two medium‐sized games as group projects, experimenting with novel control schemes, abstract gameplay mechanics, and narrative. Implemented a haptic control scheme for Android and networked multiplayer using Unity Engine.

Game Architecture

Implemented various components of a game engine, including entity‐component systems (ECS), physics (collision detection and rigidbody simulation), scripting, and procedural generation.

Advanced Computer Graphics

Researched and implemented graphics techniques from publications in C++ and OpenGL, including fluid and cloth simulation, physically‐based rendering, and mesh manipulation.
