Professional Experience
Software Engineering Manager/Lead
Strateos, Inc.
7/2022 – Present
Remote
Pioneered the industry's first robotic cloud lab. Enables users to plan experiments, command-and-control robotic execution, securely capture proprietary data, and visualize real-time execution history from remote or on-site devices.
- Lead an internal team of 7 and third-party offshore development team as the tech lead for the workflows domain. Guide feature implementation to capture scientific intent and transform to machine-readable executable code.
- Boosted team velocity by 38% through enhancements in average story points per developer, coupled with an 83% sprint completion rate over the last year. Use Jira & Slack APIs to automate processes and improve accountability.
- Streamlined incident triaging processes, by improving team accountability for respective components. Resulted in a 113% increase in engineer volunteering rates.
- Spearheaded and incorporated data-driven initiatives into quarterly roadmaps, significantly reducing tech debt and improving the user experience. Achieved a 53% reduction in workflow builder front-end total load time.
- Optimized front-end React components by migrating to a MobX bi-directional stage-management approach.
Senior Software Engineer
Strateos, Inc.
12/2021 – 7/2022
Remote
Scaled Strateos' legacy scientific intent execution system from lambda functions to microservice architecture.
- Spearheaded the development of a workflow execution system, offering scientists a platform to execute complex CWL workflows on shared infrastructure while safeguarding proprietary data.
- Streamlined data ingestion pipelines for both web and robotic domains, reducing complexity and enhancing monitoring of raw data capture.
- Contributor in filed patent for 'Systems and Methods For Processing Experimental Workflow at a Remote Laboratory'
Software Engineer III
Strateos, Inc.
8/2019 – 12/2021
Menlo Park, CA
Developed and maintained features and scientific intent schemas that are device agnostic and reproducibly executed.
- Achieved 64x increase in cloud lab sample throughput by optimizing computer vision and robotic commands.
- Developed Python statistical software to automate cluster identification of multidimensional data, significantly reducing the hands-on quality control validation time for operational teams by 50%.
- Curator of open-source machine readable scientific intent schemas, autoprotocol.org & autoprotocol-py
Research Engineer II
University of Washington
