  Having architected, engineered and implemented our cloud-based actuarial platform, I developed business-insight dashboards to identify inefficient processes and a usage-based chargeback model to help drive good data-storage and compute practices.

• • Feb 2014 - Oct 2018

  Manage GGY AXIS GridLink Farms supporting actuarial compute.Technical lead in the transition from hardkeys to softkeys.Developed a LAN-crawling tool to help understand storage and access usage.

• • Jun 2015 - Feb 2018

  Lead the design, installation and rollout migrating all actuarial compute platform into the cloud.Developed an in-house automated cloud-scaling solution to dynamically provision queues (queue of queues) and GridLink workers for actuarial calculations, and terminal server frontends for end-users. This maximized our business-processing abilities whilst minimizing costs.

  Adapted and implemented auto- and cross-correlation code for very long baseline interferometry. Implemented OpenMP and MPI-threading for efficient processing on Canada's fastest computer: http://wiki.scinethpc.ca/wiki/index.php/BGQ This analysis code scaled linearly to over 5000 cores.

  * Adapted and implemented pulsar observing strategies for many-element interferometers. * Designed a machine learning system to identify pulsar candidates. * Devised a Bayesian method of combining correlated datasets, able to address systematic errors and inaccurate error bars within datasets: the hyperparameter matrix-method. * Wrote a Gtk3+ GUI which interfaces the PALFA SQL database for pulsar candidate identification. * Implemented an Ultra Rapid Source Identification algorithm for the detection of burst and transient phenomena.
