Work Experience
August 2019 – Present
Software Developer
Core library developer for the workflows team at Crunch.io, a subsidiary of YouGov. Built library integrations through test-driven development practices for B2B API interactions between Crunch.io back-end services hosted on AWS and third-party providers. Developed via Windows Subsystem for Linux on full-service hosting Docker containers via Docker Desktop. Development progressions tracked via Pivotal Tracker and GitHub, and integrated with CI/CD pipelines through Jenkins and Travis CI. Version Control managed through git.
Highlights
- Developed end-to-end integrations for https://app.crunch.io
- Participated in hiring interviews for new team members
- Provided code review for other developer branches
January 2020 – August 2020
Data Science Instructor
Built online courses for the Cybrary’s 2.5 million user catalog, focusing on advanced Python for data science. Module topics included probability & statistics, numerical methods, data handling, data visualization, clustering, classifying, pipelining, regression, optimization, algorithms, and machine learning/deep learning.
August 2016 – June 2020
Research Assistant
Developed full-stack scientific computing solutions for materials research, using HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript to develop front-end user interfaces, Flask/Python for back-end server functionality, and PostgreSQL and SQLite databases for data storage. Created Python modules to accurately analyze, simulate, and predict materials performance though numerical methods and machine learning. Modules made use of custom C and C++ extensions for increased computational performance. Built the libRL library, which is an open-source Python library (https://github.com/1mikegrn/libRL) used for state-of-the-art microwave absorption characterization through numerical methods and machine learning. Also built the CompGen library, which is a proprietary library that uses personally-developed materials models to accurately predict multi-system composite performance. Developed micro- and nanoscale materials for application in clean energy systems, photocatalysis, water photolysis, physical adsorption, and microwave absorption. Dissertation research focused on understanding and utilizing the bulk dielectric and magnetic field properties of materials so to induce interaction with GHz-range electromagnetic radiation. Utilized and established a wide variety of synthesis methodologies to generate materials such as pure and perturbated -oxides, -sulfides, -phosphides, conductive polymers, graphitic carbon nitrides, polyoxometalates, and metal-organic frameworks, through fabrication processes such as solvothermal/hydrothermal methods. Developed expertise in a broad array of instrumentation techniques, such Network Analysis, Polarized Light Microscopy, UV-Vis Spectroscopy, Raman Vibrational Spectroscopy, SEM/EDX, TEM, XPS, XRD, BET, FTIR, EPR, NMR/SSNMR, PALS, et alia, for materials characterization and analysis. Established laboratory protocols for the treatment and disposal of hazardous chemical waste in accordance with EH&S, EPA, and the State of Missouri guidelines.
