Software engineer

Backend engineer in the Data Services team, tasked with building services with the goal of improving other teams' access to data and automate processes. * Developed an automated data dictionary generator served on an AWS lambda function, by consuming Datahub's GraphQL API for our 500+ table data model. It enabled 300 developers, designers, and project managers to access documentation on demand. * Reduced costs for our internal metadata catalog by 90% by developing a solution which made use of opensource tools: terraform, kubernetes. * Designed and implemented a rust proof of concept GraphQL API to evaluate its viability as a data serving layer. * Improved automation processes, as well as data serving workflows and APIs, on the company's datalake, cutting infrastructure costs by more than 50%. * Built a rust runtime control plane and API layer for our custom datalake, allowing data engineers and data scientists within the team and in external teams to safely interact with the ingested instances. * Designed and implemented auto scaling and self healing on our kubernetes cluster, which previously relied on static resource provision. * Led efforts to design a process to migrate from Amazon's Managed Service for Apache Kafka to Strimzi on kubernetes in order to save ingestion costs by 50%.

Worked on the backend of the "Thefaculty" game, creating new APIs and maintaining existing ones by refactoring code, making it more reusable and modular. * Assisted the lead developer in creating an API for a contest that ran over christmas reaching a peak of 20000 concurrent users.
