Wayfair• May 2016 - February 2020
• Created a new Java based application to download our ad costs on paid social platforms. The new tool is multithreaded as opposed to our previous one (PHP based). Download times were reduced 5 to 6-fold, in one case 10-fold. The tool writes to our HDFS datastore using the Hive API which sits on top of Hadoop. The format of the tables is implemented via Parquet and Avro Schemas. • In charge of the pixels engineering for Wayfair for some months. During that period, I added new functions to our pixels tool, trained new engineers on the tool’s architecture and proposed a new business template for pixel creation. • Took ownership of an internal tv media tool in charge of tracking our tv ad bidding. Added new functionality to display weekly biddings and made the tool more user friendly. • Mentored new team members and gained recognition from my mentees for providing them a smooth transition into the team. • Working with the Apache Storm Framework for real time Big Data processing. Creation of new modules for the Rio tool to back up product data feeds into HDFS, also multithreaded.

Education
Benedictine University
Physics, BS• August 2000 - December 2006
Dissertation: "Study of the Charge of Energetic Accelerated Ions in Solar Flares". I coded in FORTRAN with the help of courses I took in programming and numerical methods mathematical equations, which attempted to model the charge state of ions that were accelerated in the solar atmosphere during solar flare events. The equations were a generalization I proposed based of a model provided by Prof. Jorge Perez Peraza.
