Utilizing AWS Services to vend forecasts that could be ingested, scrum leader in the Agile process, quickly solving issues while on call, interface with other teams and customers, create design documents for new service implementation that required sign off by upper management, and mentoring new hires. • Solely responsible for designing and implementing a process to automate back testing and verification of the scientists team’s models through the usage of Python, Pandas, PostgreSQL and internal services. Reduced the time involvement of a scientist from over 20 hours per back test to less than 30 minutes. • Worked within a small team to create a serverless service, using Java and Typescript, that aggregates and pools forecasts from EC2, EBS and S3 into a single forecast that is vended to the infrastructure and planning team for purchasing new hardware. This service reduced the expenditure on server racks and components by approximately 5%, saving millions of dollars each year. • Led the root cause analysis of overcalculation of “unmet” EC2 instances causing an overstated usage. The find and fix reduced the demand by approximately four times. • Designed a process to vend data saved in CSV format from the services’ S3 buckets to parquet format in Redshift so customers would be able to access the data to perform independent analysis, which allowed the customer for the first time to review their data.
