OODA Health

Senior Software Developer | Apr 2018 – Jun 2020, 2 years 2 months

OODA's mission was to transform the patient medical billing experience into a consolidated and modern retail experience. Joined the team as an early engineer. I focused on helping them build their electronic medical claims processing system. Chiefly used Python in containerized Kubernetes to deploy services onto their platform. This was a great challenge to learn about the intricacies of electronic claims data flows and transactional systems. Accuracy was critical as it had significant impact on patient's seeing the correct charges on their bills.

NUVI

Senior Software Developer | Oct 2016 – Apr 2018, 1 year 6 months

Nuvi's mission was to help companies monitor and protect their brands on social media through the use of analytics. I worked on their backend team writing containerized message queue processing services in Go. I also helped build the second generation of their analytics engine.

• Wrote an event based service in Go that translated an application specific DSL to search rules for a new version of the Twitter api.
• Helped build the prototype and then the productionized version of a new analytics engine using Elasticsearch. The end system housed tens of terabyes of data & billions of documents. It had strict performace guarantees that required it to scan billions of those documents and return aggregated results in subsecond response times.
• Helped build an API service in Go that was used to serve requests for dashboard data from the frontend services to the Elasticsearch analytics engine mentioned previously.
• Helped design and build a data lake solution to store all message data in the system using Golang and AWS Athena. The system housed hundreds of terabytes of data and performed approximately a petabyte of scans each month.
