\section{Experience}
\cventry{2020--2023}{Staff Software Engineer}{ReadySet}{Remote}{}
{Founding engineer at a startup bringing a high performance
partially-stateful, incrementally-maintained SQL database based on the Noria
thesis to market
\begin{itemize}
\item Served as the main technical leadership for the project throughout its
maturation from a research codebase to a production-grade system
\item Extended the Noria PhD thesis by implementing methods from multiple
research papers, masters theses, and other papers from database
research, in addition to original database research and development.
\item Invented or helped develop multiple novel database techniques in
partially materialized dataflow, including index planning and
selection, pagination, post-lookup aggregate processing, partial
``straddled'' joins, weak indexes for correct execution of partial
joins, and more.
\item Invented novel ways to test SQL databases, including a new deterministic
generator for SQL queries.
\item Developed the clustered high availability distributed runtime mode from
a buggy research feature into a production ready distributed system
that passed a suite of Jepsen tests.
\item Implemented a significant fraction of the SQL query planner, which
required both implementing algorithms specified in database research
papers and inventing new techniques to work around the limitations of
partially materialized dataflow
\item Optimized critical components of the code base, including algorithmic
optimizations, CPU cache analysis, low-level data structures, and
broad system runtime analysis
\item Implemented a type inference engine and expression evaluator that
supported multiple dialects of SQL configured at compile-time, with
maximum code reuse while preserving maintainability
\item Mentored multiple junior and senior engineers
\item Open-Source contributions visible at
\url{https://github.com/readysettech/readyset/commits?author=glittershark}
\end{itemize}}
\cventry{2019--2020}{Engineering Manager}{Urbint}{New York, NY}{}
{\begin{itemize}
\item Lead of the platform team with two direct reports - a senior SRE and
a senior software engineer.
\item Performed user research on developers, project managers, product
managers, and other internal stakeholders to build the roadmap for the
platform team.
\item Built and maintained a system to deploy one-off full stack
application instances from pull requests to enable easier testing.
\item Led a large, multi-project migration between CI systems that resulted
in a decrease of average build times from 2 hours to less than 10 minutes.
\item Maintained and extended Nix-based build and development
infrastructure for both software engineers and machine learning engineers.
\end{itemize}}
\cventry{2018--2019}{Senior Software Engineer}{Urbint}{New York, NY}{}
{\begin{itemize}
\item Built, trained, and maintained a large, deep-learning-based
image-detection model for semi-automated (human-in-the-loop) video
classification.
\item Designed, built, and maintained a novel in-house tool for collection of
training data.
\item Maintained and guaranteed reliability of a large data pipeline for
video processing and classification.
\end{itemize}}
\cventry{2017--2018}{Senior Software Engineer}{Urbint}{New York, NY}{}
{\begin{itemize}
\item Integral in the architecture of a novel, serializable ACID
transactional graph database built on RocksDB, first in Elixir then in
Haskell.
\item Helped ship customer deliverables involving multi-day data
processing jobs for disparate data sources.
\item Instructed other developers in the use of and theory behind Haskell
\item Brought computational graph theory to bear on the problem of unifying
