About Me

I am a software developer with a passion for developing scalable and robust systems. I have a background in computer science with a focus in machine learning, and I have a strong interest in the intersection of technology and art. I am currently working as a software developer at VMware in Palo Alto, CA.

I recently finished working on a project to optimize our internal resource lock manager, and will begin working on a new initiative to add workflows for adding, applying, and managing custom ISOs.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Java
  • Maven
  • Python
  • Spring
  • Typescript
  • PostgreSQL

Experience

Software Developer II - VMware
Feb 2022 - present
  • Maintained and supported VCF, a distributed Java application with over 1 million lines of code, using Maven, PostgreSQL, and Spring
  • Designed and implemented Jenkins CI pipelines to automate integration testing. Achieved an 80% increase in productivity and efficiency by streamlining the integration testing process through automation.
  • Leveraged JProfiler and JMC to identify high memory and CPU usage workflows in scale environments. Implemented a redesigned frugal locking algorithm resulting in up to a 95% reduction in overhead.

Education

2018 - 2021
B.S. Computer Science
University of California, Irvine

Area of focus:

  • AI
  • Computer Vision
  • Machine Learning
  • Optimization Algorithms
