Designed and implemented the CL0 engine, a discrete-event world emulator combining declarative logic inference with parallel execution in Rust. Developed a custom language parser, reactive rule engine, and modular execution model inspired by Petri Nets. Conducted ongoing research and full-stack development of Incremental Graph Code (IGC), a new exploratory and incremental graph-based programming environment built with React, Node.js, Express, and Electron. Enabled users to construct applications through interactive execution graphs; project outcomes resulted in two published research papers.

May 2019 – Aug 2023

Full stack development working on 6 different tools (micro-services) for build workflow automation and UAT used by all Cisco IOS-XE developers. Millions of dollars are spent through these systems for teams around the world. Led multiple performance optimization efforts introducing compiled C and Golang into the build process, reducing overall build times by up to 15%. Additionally, improved full-stack GUI performance across multiple internal tools, achieving 200–10,000% faster load and execution times. Implemented pyATS based automation which performed packet injection testing with target system CPU and memory numerical analysis to identify the specific performance profile of different Cisco switch families.
