• Migrated a Celery task service to AWS Lambda, SQS, and EventBridge, enabling fault-tolerant parallel async processing of hourly request surges and reducing end-to-end data latency from hours to minutes.
• Led architectural decomposition of a Python monolith into discrete domains, establishing containerization, deployment boundaries, and ownership across frontend, device communications, customer APIs, and email services.
• Automated deployment workflows by migrating manual pipelines to GitHub Actions and developing a dedicated service for streamlined database schema migrations.
• Built and operated authenticated REST APIs supporting mobile and web clients, with production auth, versioning, and deployment on AWS Fargate.
• Designed and coordinated cross-platform development of a site install app, streamlining submission validation and automating remote activation processes, reducing charger activation time from several hours to under 30 minutes.

• Maintained serverless, event driven microservices powering charger communications, real-time data ingestion, and mobile app observability for Volta's fleet of 2000+ chargers across the country.
• Developed a standardized REST API enabling real-time data exchange with external partners, ensuring compliance with California regulatory requirements under fixed external deadlines.
• Maintained and improved an existing ETL pipeline that moved data from Salesforce into Postgres.
• Designed and prototyped an internal unified GraphQL API integrating multiple disparate services.
• Evaluated and prototyped an EventBridge and Salesforce CDC architecture; work paused due to organizational restructuring.

• Designed and built a distributed image processing pipeline that grew from processing 100TB/day to 1000TB/day from 2017 to 2020 with strict delivery and correctness guarantees requiring all data to be available in customer accounts within 24 hours.
• Built a map tile server using AWS Lambda that enabled the company to expand product offerings while reducing S3 storage costs by 30%.
• Converted an existing EC2-based thumbnail generation pipeline to a solution using Lambda, SQS, and Docker to simplify deployment, improve scaling, and reduce overall database load during peak hours.
• Developed a React and Flask web application that consolidated image processing and flight operations statuses into a single authenticated system, eliminating spreadsheet-driven operational workflows.

• Built a real-time data analysis stream using PyQt, ZMQ, and Kafka to visualize nuclear radiation data.
• Set up preliminary AWS infrastructure and helped build a React.js application to visualize past data using maps with Leaflet.js and charts with D3.js.

• Wrote code that led to automation of the sensor calibration procedure at the test facility.
• Organized lens testing fieldwork to provide test data for potential automotive customers.
