May 2015 - Nov 2017
At Jane Street I focused on the security, stability, and reliability of critically important technical systems: I implemented internal security software using a novel approach based on a theorem-proving engine to enable more security and auditing; created an regression test framework focused on maintainability and ease-of-use to maximize test coverage and developer efficiency; and overhauled core parts of the communications infrastructure for maintainability and stability, used internally by critical business tools responsible for managing large trade volumes. I started at Jane Street with a 4-month internship in May 2015, intending to return to school to complete my Bachelor's Degree. Partway through the internship I received the offer to extend it to December 2015 and to return for full-time employment after my completed studies in September 2016. Show less
