The most amazing...
...thing I've developed is Neatlabs' primary brain research platform from the University of California, San Diego.
Work Experience
Technical Architect | Senior Full-stack Developer
Neatlabs, University of California - San Diego
- Single-handedly developed 25 brain games designed to train cognitive skills using the Unity platform under the supervision of a lead scientist. Followed agile practices and built custom tools to aid rapid development iterations.
- Created related participant and data management platforms on AWS. Serverless architecture saved the lab on DevOps and infrastructure costs over $100,000 per year.
- Built an end-to-end, cloud-based research study creation and management system that allowed lab partners to manage their research assets without needing technical assistance, reducing investment in IT infrastructure.
Senior Software Engineer
Posit Science (San Francisco, California)
- Designed and developed the user experience for mobile research tools on the mobile platform, including experimental voice-activated interfaces for patients with mobility constraints.
- Aided researchers in developing algorithms for spectral and prosodic analysis of vocal expression where speech samples are analyzed to identify the user's emotional state, such as to determine if the speaker is depressed or not.
- Developed a rich set of visual tools for research study creation and management on our system, formerly done by programmers through XML files, freeing up essential programmer resources to focus on priority tasks.
Technical Lead
Safew Labs
- Led a talented team of programmers and designers over a 3-year period building web applications and e-commerce storefronts.
- Aided the team to build a reputation for quality production work, serving as a production house to several creative agencies in the US and the UK.

Software Developer
Ithaca Partners
- Developed an algorithmic trading analysis platform to allow fund managers to analyze financial market data extracted from several online sources, like Bloomberg, in real-time, highlighting trends, thereby allowing for critical buy and sell decisions.
- Created a unique database or spreadsheet hybrid that allowed fund managers to use spreadsheet-like formulas to define databases that would automatically populate based on live data.
- Supported and extended the system for the seven years where it remained in active service.
