Work Background
RVO HealthStaff Software Engineer
May. 2023Minnesota, United States
Optum, Inc.Software Development Consultant
Nov. 2021 - Apr. 2023Minneapolis, Minnesota, United StatesDesigned and led the technical implementation of a Platform as a Service for data scientists. This
platform eliminates the rote work that data scientists perform to host and test algorithms dramatically
reducing the amount of effort involved to create new features, allowing data scientists to focus on core
algorithms instead of all the work involved in running them. The work of setting up databases,
subscribing to event streams, getting machines to host software, observability and security is all
handled by the platform. The application runs on Azure Kubernetes and is largely written in Go. It
also makes extensive use of Kafka, Postgresql, and Helm. I also mentored other developers in this role
and made reductions in the amount of effort applied to operational concerns by leading the adoption of
contemporary CI/CD practices, observability, and other SRE related concerns.

HerokuLead Software Engineer
Nov. 2017 - Sep. 2020San Francisco Bay AreaMy role at Heroku involved development and support of the backend Metrics system. This system collected information from thousands of customer applications and refined it to produce Heroku dashboards capturing response times, memory usage, memory and cpu resource consumption as well as allowing the user to define various types of alerts and autoscaling. This system handled hundreds of thousands of messages per second and used technologies such as Kafka, Cassandra, and Redis among others. Most of the code was written in Golang, although some of our work used Ruby. In addition I worked on API endpoints exposing metrics microservices to other agents, both internal to the company and external. I had the additional privilege of participating in open source projects such as Pack, https://github.com/buildpacks/pack a tool for Cloud Native Buildpacks as well as Heroku open source projects.
