A Cliffsnotes on My Life

I graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology with a B.S. in Computer Science. I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at HubSpot, where I own reliability for some of the platform's highest-traffic services. A few of my hobbies include: reading things with words, discussing urban planning, and building hardware projects.

I enjoy computer science because I find it to be a hybrid form of art. I use logic to figure out a solution to a problem and I use creativity to choose the best way to implement a solution. I wrote an article discussing why creativity is critical to success as a software developer which made it to the front page of Hacker News and was reposted by a few technical blogs.

Technical Skills and Projects

I work at HubSpot where I lead reliability and architecture for critical CRM services handling 26 billion+ requests per day. Previously I worked at Broadcom (Pivotal Software) developing commonly used open-source software and at Mailchimp where I migrated an RPC system to gRPC.

A few of my technical projects

MBTA Mini Display

Designed and built a mini transit display showing real-time MBTA predictions. Wrote ESP32 firmware in C to drive an OLED display, built a server API with historical data fallback, designed a custom PCB, and 3D-printed enclosures.

Airbnb Analytics

Scraped and analyzed Airbnb data at scale to explore correlations between listing features, review sentiment, and pricing. Built interactive visualizations with d3.js and applied NLP sentiment analysis.

My Angel Sight

System that identifies distracted driving using a convolutional neural network and OpenCV. 1st place and sponsor prize winner at HackAuburn 2019.

Transit Predictor

Built ML models in Python to predict bus arrivals for Georgia Tech's transit system, replacing basic location-based ETAs and powering the campus arrival estimator API used by thousands of students.

Visual Skills

I have worked for Georgia Tech's communications department where I helped create content for their social media pages. Previously, I worked at Chil & Co., a creative agency in Atlanta. Here are some of my photos.
