Collaborated on the distributed architecture to allow desired levels of read-scalability. Developed a patented persistent variation of the B-ε tree backed by arbitrary SaaS storage to allow cheap O(1) access to historical snapshots of database indexes. Wrote an interpreter for a variation of Datalog. Wrote over half a dozen standalone libraries focused on developer productivity, effortless telemetry integration, and declarative asynchrony. As the project moved from prototype to production, moved increasingly into a tech lead role. Responsibilities in the last year of the position increasingly involved training teams in data modeling best practices and in helping the team grow, mentoring other developers with respect to design, architecture, technical debt, and functional programming.
