Staff Software Engineer (Full-Stack)

• Aug 2023 - Present

Senior Software Engineer, Platform

• May 2020 - Jul 2023

- Technical leadership for integration of new modes of transportation in Lacuna’s stack and the OMF MDS by designing and implementing MDS' first new-mode in addition to Micromobility, Passenger Services (Taxi/TNC/For Hire Vehicle). - Lead engineering design and solely implemented the Lacuna Billing platform (backend and frontend), which processes tens of thousands of trips a day, and determines program trip fees based on a cascading geospatial pricing configuration to incentivize deployments in equity zones, and disincentivize vehicle deployments in high congestion areas.- In addition to being a member of the Platform Team, also supported the DevOps team. Regularly contributed to our deployment toolchain automation (Helm templates, bash scripts, Jenkins, Github Actions etc..). Was involved in over 90% of the oncall production incident triaging and remediation, jumping in to help wherever needed in the stack (from the frontend all the way down to the database). - Drove adoption of gRPC with Protobuf to replace inefficient custom gRPC web+json for core platform RPC. Successfully designed and implemented an extension to our existing RPC framework that makes transitioning a service to the new pattern nearly seamless once protobuf definitions have been defined.- Built various mobile applications to demonstrate the functionality of the core platform in both SwiftUI and React Native- Utilized experimental NodeJS multithreading to compute a suite of analytics in 3 days which was expected to take ~4.5 months to complete prior to optimization.- Worked with Client Services team to design & implement internal admin tooling to optimize new client onboarding & support.

Was the primary maintainer for firmware used in Zipcar and LocalMotion by Zipcar fleets. Worked closely with the Product team to design creative approaches to problems that impact members. Explored integrating third-party telematics solutions with the existing Zipcar infrastructure.

Embedded Software Engineering Intern

• Jun 2018 - Dec 2018

Lead design & development a proprietary Telematics Unit emulator. Designed multiple open source MPLab X plug-ins for device simulation in Java hosted on the Zipcar Github, as well as a collection of external components mimicking standard peripheral behavior (modem, eFlash, etc) written in Golang. Provided oncall technical support for the Zipcar test vehicles.Implemented identical features across two different hardware platforms running on in-vehicle telematics units in C/C++.

Quality Assurance Engineering Co-op

• Jan 2018 - Jun 2018

Designed and executed regression tests for Zipcar Telematics units. Managed release of beta firmware to a select number of vehicles in the Boston/Providence Zipcar fleets. Used full Atlassian suite to log bugs, monitor repositories, and write extensive documentation for Zipcar components.

Software Engineering Intern

• Apr 2017 - Aug 2017

Worked in a corporate environment for almost half a year, and prototyped & iterated to MVP a Gravic Shadowbase Configuration GUI Tool. Implemented the initial prototype in C#, and pivoted to an Electron development environment (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, VueJS, Node.js, Electron) to enable a more modern user experience. The internship concluded with a presentation that went over the aforementioned product developed during my time at the company, the Gravic Shadowbase SQL Manager 2017.

Computer Science Tutor

• Sep 2015 - Jan 2016

Tutored Middle School students 1:1 in basic Processing (modified fork of Java developed at MIT). We covered the entire High School Processing curriculum (approximately a semester of course work) in 12 weeks with 2hr/week sessions. The curriculum consisted of the fundamentals of programming (basic data types, order of evaluation, loops, type casting, OOP), basic geometric manipulation (matrices & transforms), and project hygiene (styling guidelines, code comments).
