Wayfair
Apr 04, 2018 - present

Automated compaction of small files across Wayfair's on-premise HDFS cluster, optimizing file sizes to the cluster's block size, realizing a 98% reduction in file count and drastically improving the cluster's performance and life-expectancy.
Designed and implemented configuration-based ETL framework to generate standardized, foundational data assets at scale for Wayfair's Machine Learning and Analytics platforms, drastically reducing data sprawl.
Led the engineering effort of multiple high-impact migrations for Wayfair's high-throughput event ingestion platform (from single to multi-datacenter architecture, from operating on on-premise infrastructure through hybrid cloud to fully on-boarded onto Google Cloud Platform), enabling datacenter-local processing with improved stability and decreased latency.
Drove multiple cost saving initiatives across my team's platforms, including: optimizing automated Cloud Storage policies, tuning Google Dataproc cluster usage and consolidating duplicative processes, leading to $10MM+ annualized in reduced spending.
Lead an agile team of 4 engineers working on the control plane systems for Wayfair's next generation streaming event ingestion and sourcing platform, focused on improving data agility at scale through a data mesh architecture.

Designed and developed two graphical applications to compute and visualize a selection of matching costs for stereo image pairs. These applications also allow the user to manipulate the images including: omnidirectional movement and horizontal/vertical image warping around an anchor point.
Implemented both a native and web-based application in C++ and Javascript respectively.
Using the WebGL API and GLSL, parallelized the compute-intensive image processing to take advantage of GPGPU allowing for interactive speeds within a web browser environment.
