Developed Python data pipeline to analyze usage data of backend virtual resources, enabling engineering teams to address capacity shortfalls and prevent service disruptions.
Achieved 61% faster pipeline execution by implementing parallelization and workload balancing, streamlining smoke testing cycles and enhancing team productivity when making updates to the pipeline.
Onboarded 7 backend services into a unified monitoring dashboard, enhancing visibility of capacity risks and validating usage patterns with cross-organizational teams.
Implemented linear correlation analysis with Pandas for backend virtual dependencies, enhancing robustness of alerting system to detect capacity issues.

Developed full-stack app for SANA, a network alignment algorithm used for biological graph comparisons.
Optimized a Node.js command-line pipeline for faster execution of network alignment jobs.
Implemented API Key validation middleware on backend to validate job submissions.
Automated deployment of backend reverse proxy with bash scripting and Systemd.

Collaborated in team of 15 students to plan a mock NASA mission to search the moon’s south pole for ice-water.
Designed 11 API endpoints to optimize transmission of image/command data to Mission Control, improving system responsiveness for critical mission tasks.
Conducted Failure Mode and Effect Analysis to evaluate 10+ subsystem risks, formulating targeted risk-reduction strategies to prioritize key mission objectives.

Completed 12-weeks of structured curriculum covering core SRE concepts, supplemented with events and workshops hosted by leading Meta industry experts.
Created an open-source personal portfolio website template using Python, Flask, Jinja, MySQL, Nginx, and unittest.
Automated testing and deployment workflows with bash scripting and GitHub Actions CI/CD tools.
Implemented monitoring and visualization of CPU/RAM/Disk utilization of Docker containers on VPS with Prometheus and Grafana.
