Professional Experience

Senior Software Developer (Simulation)

OTTO by Rockwell Automation (2+ Years)

OTTO Motors develops autonomous mobile robots for industrial logistics. I worked on simulation and systems infrastructure for distributed robotics testing. This included simulation architecture, CI/CD pipelines and performance optimization including 85% latency reduction in user facing tools.

Member of Technical Staff

Cerebras Systems (<1 year)

Cerebras builds the world's largest AI accelerator (Wafer-Scale Engine). I developed infra and debugged issues through containerized runtimes for wafer-scale computing. This included developing debug tooling for large-scale parallel computing environments and analyzing LLM performance throughput on novel hardware.

Software Developer

RideCo (2+ Years)

RideCo provides on-demand transit optimization software. I worked on backend systems reliability, distributed integration testing and quality analysis. This included delivering mocks and test infrastructure for optimization algorithm, CI/CD pipelines and software auditing.
