EXPERIENCE

Sourcegraph | Software Engineer, Developer Infrastructure - JANUARY 2024 - PRESENT (8 months)

Reduced CI/CD times for main branch by 46% (P50 of 27.6min to 14.8min) by leveraging Bazel caching, saving 5 days/month of compute time.
Led the implementation of an in-house continuous integration analytics pipeline, processing Buildkite build & job data as well as Bazel’s ‘Build Event Protocol’ output into BigQuery, enabling a data-driven approach to improving CI performance and reliability.
Fixed compilation pipeline for Rust, unblocking work both improving rendering times of syntax highlighted code in the UI by a factor of x2.6, eliminating rendering timeouts for major languages such as Java, C# and TypeScript.

Sourcegraph | Software Engineer, Code Intelligence - AUGUST 2020 - DECEMBER 2023 (3 years 4 months)

Rewrote our Java code indexer and completely eliminated parser & type-checker related errors that previously failed indexing more than 30% of the time.
Worked independently on implementing a Kotlin code indexer to unlock multiple 6-figure ARR deals.
Technical lead on a project to sync & index 104k Rust crates (over 730k total crate versions) to enable compiler-accurate code navigation and power a supply-chain auditing system developed by Mozilla for the Rust ecosystem within cargo vet.

Teamwork | Technical Intern - MARCH 2019 - JULY 2020 (1 year 5 months)

Productionized a distributed ticket filter caching system in Go backed by Elasticsearch and built on the Actor model pattern deployed to Kubernetes, using Apache NiFi as a data ingestion and transformation pipeline.
Created Helm chart to automate the deployment of Apache NiFi + NiFi flows to Kubernetes to replace a manually managed EC2 instance.
Improved the docker-compose based developer environment by automating continuous and isolated updating of Docker images.

CloudCIX | Part-time Software Developer - APRIL 2018 - FEBRUARY 2019 (11 months)

Led a small team in replacing an ES5 Javascript codebase (with no test coverage) with an ES6 Typescript codebase with Jest-based tests.
Setup a number of internal services such as Sentry for error management, InfluxDB and Grafana for service metrics as well as the Elastic stack and Jaeger for centralized logging and distributed tracing to gain essential application performance insights.

UCC Netsoc (Tech & Gaming Society) | Head Systems Administrator - JUNE 2017 - JUNE 2020 (3 years)

Led a team of 5 students in managing, restructuring and maintaining a set of 7 Linux servers and a number of internal and student-facing services, such as web hosting, DNS and MySQL databases.
Setup a Docker registry with Harbor and Continuous Integration using Drone, backed by Hashicorp Vault for secrets management.
Codified the infrastructure and services using Ansible, version controlled on Github.
Migrated the servers from bare-metal Ubuntu to Proxmox to virtualise the infrastructure to enable remote administration of infrastructure over GUI or Ansible.
