Open source

I like to contribute to open source projects. Some of my contributions include:

- Ceph on Mesos - A framework to bootstrap, manage, and deploy the distributed file storage solution, Ceph.
- Patch to Scala, fixing memory leak in reflection library. Accepted and released with Scala 2.11.5.
- Op-Rabbit : a composable, opinionated library for messaging. Started, evangelized, etc. it is growing in popularity and I believe it could become the de-facto choice for using RabbitMQ in Scala.
- Scala-Handlebars - major contributions to Scala handlebars library. Updating internal type system to allow interaction with other JSON libraries. Updates to template parser.

Hacker, contributor, tinkerer, etc.

Sr. Software Engineer

SpinGo

I led the technology teams at SpinGo. It was my job ensure the following:

- That our software systems can scale and handle massive load.
- That our systems remain operational and relatively regression free.
- That project management, as it relates to our technology teams, is efficient and leads to the predictable execution of requirements.
- That our development practices are sustainable and continue to produce quality results.

Some things I did while there:

- When I joined, releases were plagued with regression. I led the adoption of functional programming practices (in Scala), and incrementally replaced systems to control regressions.
- Brought significant improvements to service reliability, reaching an SLA of >= 99.9% month over month for a year straight.
- Worked with Samsung and CapitalOne as they built products on our platform.
- Led the adoption continuous integration and deployment in our processes, successfully deploying in the middle of the day.
- Implemented cluster automation with SaltStack, leading to consistently reliable deployment.
- Led the adoption of HP Vertica and Tableau, building a business intelligence solution on a shoestring budget that allowed us to do cohort analysis with A/B experiments over billions of logged interactions.
- Led the construction of a process based CQRS content aggregation and curation system to enable the richness of SpinGo's event database. System was capable of detecting updates from trusted data providers, and automatically merging those changes with the master database.

Foundational Software

Foundational Software is the company under which I do product development and freelance work.

People rarely walk into a house and say, "What an amazing foundation this house has!" However, a house with a weak foundation can be quickly worth very little. I build strong foundations in software. Making the right software architecture decisions in the beginning bears many fruits, including rich user-experience, software maintainability, and lower application failure rate / software bugs.

Owner Operator

Red Brain Labs

Built and deployed ETL pipelines to assemble data, clean, and prepare for analysis. Used AI to join data by evaluating different candidates and linking the ones that resulted in the best overall score. Set up compute clouds to build predictive models in MPP fashion. Worked with Hadoop to try novel ways of processing massive amounts of data for analysis in Vertica.

Chief Data Engineer

Lead Media Partners

Have worked on a variety of engaging projects at this company. 

* Helped to build a predictive analytics system to improve lead quality for our lead generation portal.
* Built various green-field off-shoot projects within the company.
* Laid the groundwork for and built a data integration solution that compiles large amounts of data from several sources to power highly efficient reporting tools and feed predictive models.
* Built an internal alerting system that monitors a large amount of data and logs. Uses statistical process control to draw our attention to processes that show signs of changing. Filters out oscillating trends at a variety of frequencies to further reduce noise.
