Experience

Google CloudAustin, TX
Customer EngineerAug 2022 - Present
  • Architected highly-available data ingestion pipelines using Cloud Run and BigQuery, processing [e.g., 5TB+ of daily unstructured data] with 99.9% uptime, enabling real-time analytics for [e.g., 10+ enterprise clients].
  • Engineered distributed GPU computing environments by deploying automated Slurm clusters via Terraform, reducing ML model training lifecycles by [e.g., 40%] for high-performance compute (HPC) workloads.
  • Designed and validated complex backend architectures for [e.g., 15+ high-growth startups], securely integrating disparate legacy systems with managed AI services (Document AI) to automate [e.g., 10M+ document processing pipelines].
  • Established production-grade MLOps infrastructure by deploying containerized ML training workloads and managed inference endpoints on Vertex AI, supporting [e.g., 500+ QPS] with sub-100ms latency.
Solutions EngineerOct 2021 - Jan 2022
  • Engineered an evaluation pipeline and optimized a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) endpoint using Vertex Search-grounded LLMs, increasing automated response accuracy by [e.g., 25%] across [e.g., 5,000+ monthly] internal sales inquiries.
  • Led backend development for an internal Python platform, automating the provisioning of complex GCP environments and reducing infrastructure deployment times from [e.g., days to minutes] for [e.g., 200+ engineers].
  • Designed fault-tolerant infrastructure deployments, including highly available Managed Instance Groups (MIGs) capable of handling [e.g., 10,000+ concurrent connections] across multi-region cloud architectures.
PROSHouston, TX
Software Development InternJun 2020 - Aug 2020
  • Developed a suite of reusable React components for an Electron application, enabling comprehensive API testing across ~40 dynamic pricing endpoints.
  • Improved application performance by implementing frontend optimizations that significantly reduced component rendering times and increased responsiveness.
  • Introduced unit and integration tests using Jest and React Testing Library, improving overall code reliability.

Projects

Resume Analytics & Portfolio

React 19, Next.js 15, TypeScript, Vitest, Cloud Run, GitHub Actions

  • Architected a server-rendered portfolio and analytics dashboard utilizing the Next.js App Router for optimized performance and SEO.
  • Engineered a custom NLP heuristics analyzer in TypeScript to parse and evaluate resume linguistic scannability, XYZ metric density, and ATS keyword matching.
  • Implemented a secure cryptographic authentication gate using the Web Crypto API (SHA-256) and deployed the containerized application to Cloud Run via automated GitHub Actions pipelines.
  • Established robust continuous integration (CI) workflows via GitHub Actions, integrating ESLint and Vitest to enforce code quality and automate unit testing.
Coda.sys (Terminal-Native Operating System)

Python, TypeScript, Node.js, GitHub Actions

  • Architected a fully automated CI/CD pipeline and local telemetry system to manage a structured SWE upskilling pivot.
  • Developed a local Node.js/TypeScript Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI agents to natively invoke local Python scripts and read sprint state securely.
  • Integrated GitHub Projects via GraphQL and Python CLI tools (`add_task.py`) for bi-directional sprint planning and task synchronization.
Playlist Intersection for Spotify

React, Node.js, Express.js, Firestore, Spotify API, Cloud Run, Google Cloud (GCP), Docker

  • Engineered a full-stack dashboard managing Spotify OAuth 2.0 authentication and stateful user sessions.
  • Developed an Express.js backend to handle asynchronous data fetching and compute intersections across multiple user "Liked Songs" libraries.
  • Containerized the service using Docker and deployed it to Google Cloud Run for scalable, serverless execution.

React, Node.js, Cloud Run, OAuth 2.0

  • Engineered and deployed a cloud-native, decoupled full-stack application (React, Node.js) to Google Cloud Run, utilizing secure OAuth 2.0 flows to compute the intersections of 10,000+ track Spotify libraries in real-time.

Python, Bash, Git, Vertex AI

  • Designed and built a drop-in, version-controlled memory protocol and CLI toolchain (Python, Bash) that enables AI coding assistants to maintain persistent architecture maps, roadmap backlogs, and state checkpoints across sessions.
