I'm a generalist engineer with a decade of experience in R&D environments. I spent the prior four years as a backend-leaning full-stack software engineer for Epic Systems Corporation developing their cardiology application, with emphasis on analytics workflows and the use of discrete data in resulting cardiology studies. Prior to that, I spent five years at HP Inc. working on industrial corrugated printers, with an emphasis on ink reliability testing and correlating R&D testbeds against the full-sized product. I have a history of successfully working across teams, roles, and sites to develop integrated solutions and enjoy learning new skills on the fly. My career interest is in developing analytics capabilities in products and teaching people to leverage their data to improve their organizations.
Developing the front end of a startup client’s web application. - Improved UI reactivity and state management - Developed new tools to improve end user workflows
Worked on the Cupid Cardiology application to develop tools for documenting invasive and noninvasive procedures, improve the accuracy and clarity of cardiology reports, and strengthen the reporting infrastructure for operational and clinical analytics efforts. - Designed and implemented a configurable rules exception in Epic’s shared discrete results data model, resolving a 10-year cardiology workflow gap. Owned cross-stack and cross-application development (MUMPS, C#, TypeScript, SQL) and coordinated reviews with 12+ product teams to preserve existing patient-safety guardrails. - Resolved ETL performance bottlenecks for the invasive cardiology data model across both SQL Server and Oracle databases, restoring SLA compliance for data availability for over 30 customers. - Designed and began implementation of a project adding two data types to Epic’s Cosmos collaborative dataset (ongoing project). Collaborated with technical and clinical staff to develop a schema capable of answering relevant clinical questions. - Contributed to the reporting knowledge of my team of 55 cardiology developers and quality managers by presenting learning topics, guiding junior team members through development and testing efforts, and mentoring a junior developer assigned to my Cosmos project. - Mentored surgical team developers in their creation of a new data model for surgical implants. Code review identified performance improvements resulting in a 6x speedup at runtime. - Acted as a member of the cardiology analytics functional area to triage issues and feedback from customers into feature requests, bug reports, and design considerations for internal teams. Visited customers on-site to address specific issues and assist with new installations. - Created dashboards, tables, and self-service visualization content for cardiology data within Epic’s analytics suite.
A Writing Systems Engineer is a systems engineer (classified as Electrical/Hardware Engineer) that integrates the work of other R&D teams and tests it against the product specifications. A Writing Systems Engineer is an expert in the science behind the product and regularly works with multidisciplinary teams including but not limited to chemists, electrical and mechanical engineers, and technicians to resolve gaps in the technology being delivered to the product team. - Benchmarked and developed R&D ink and printhead architecture for HP PageWide T4250 HDR press - Served as team point of contact for next-generation print head development, working with senior engineers across our lab to be the first site to enable system-representative sustained print testing - Redesigned ink chemist sprint tracking spreadsheet, added flexible, performant macros to automate additional tasks, and improved integrations with lab instruments - Served as President of HP San Diego's Public Speaking Site Engagement Group - Remotely mentored an intern during COVID-19 site closure through a successful project leading to a recommendation to hire the intern to our team post-graduation
- Created flexible scripts for testbed software and data analysis, enabling ink chemists to run and interpret tier 1 engineering tests independently. This eliminated several hours of work per sprint and improved the quality of experimental ink candidates delivered to engineering - Performed life testing of print cartridges to characterize potential field issues and predict program impacts and self-taught Power BI to draft a dashboard to report on the progress of the testing - Designed, implemented, and analyzed experiments to improve the recoverability of print heads from various stress conditions. Findings informed print head servicing strategy and CV150 ink candidate selections for Scitex PageWide C500 Press - Prepared reliability testing infrastructure at partner sites ahead of product launch. Then served as R&D liaison to lead issue investigations and support a clean transition to production line-built ink - Served as team point of contact to testbed and vision systems for software support and enhancements to test infrastructure - Co-invented a new internal tool for improved measurement of printer telemetry which was used by the product team to evaluate printer hardware prototypes and develop final product specifications - Served as Treasurer of HP San Diego's Public Speaking Site Engagement Group
- Benchmarked reliability aspects of CV150 ink for Scitex PageWide C500 Press. - Refactored test script for team's reliability testbed for improved flexibility and readability - Served as corporate liaison for a Harvey Mudd College Clinic Project.
Tutor students in E85 lab (Intro to Digital Electronics and Computer Engineering) on a weekly basis. Additional Spring semester responsibility: proofread newly written labs. Additional Fall semester responsibility: grade completed labs.
Designed and built an automated testbed in order to research the effect of hardware-driven ink recirculation on ink cartridges containing high-solids inks. Designed and built an expansion to a testbed as part of a multi-site effort to gain insight into environmental effects on the drying of ink.
