Senior Software Engineer @ BigCommerce From March 2018 to March 2019 (1 year 1 month) Austin, Texas AreaPost-Masters Research Associate @ Oak Ridge National Laboratory Created an automated test suite for a Nuclear Safety and Criticality Scientific Software suite. The suite automatically generated test scripts based on keywords in test input files. I designed and implemented the java application to handle the dynamic script generation. I used CDash, Ctest, and CMake for the infrastructure. From October 2010 to August 2011 (11 months) Oak Ridge, TNGraduate Teaching Assistant @ University of Tennessee Teach Introductory programming labs to freshman. Involved teaching computer science concepts, proctoring and grading exams, grading lab programming assignments, as well as managing a classroom environment with approximately 30 college freshman. From August 2008 to December 2009 (1 year 5 months) Knoxville, Tennessee AreaNuclear Engineering Science Laboratory Synthesis Intern @ Oak Ridge National Laboratory Automated build system for nuclear criticallity and safety software. From August 2009 to January 2010 (6 months) Oak Ridge, TennesseeC++ Software Engineer Intern @ Hewlett-Packard Ported a library from 32-bit to 64-bit, as well as automated the build process for all of the libraries used in the main product. From May 2009 to August 2009 (4 months) Lexington, Kentucky AreaSoftware Engineer @ BigCommerce Engineer on omni-channel team, responsible for building integrations between our e-commerce platform and other marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Facebook, etc.Scala services using a variety of protocols (e.g. RabbitMQ, gRPC, REST HTTP) on top of MySQL From November 2016 to February 2018 (1 year 4 months) Austin, Texas AreaSoftware Engineer @ Intel Corporation I investigate performance and power optimizations for computer vision workloads on mobile platforms. This involves everything from algorithm analysis(feature detection, object tracking, etc.) to hardware acceleration, all while balancing power consumption and latency.I'm also the agile coach (learning on the job) for our team as our group transitions to agile methods. This means I facilitate our scrum meetings, and I'm the one navigating the key stakeholders and skeptical team members to try and get everyone pointed in the right direction. I had no idea what I was signing up for when I volunteered to lead this change, but it's been extremely rewarding to witness the progress and setbacks since we've started.
