  EXPERIENCE   

  Senior Software Engineer · Radius Intelligence · July 2017 - Present   

○ Senior engineer and architect of features and microservices that fundamentally change how customers use Radius 
to market to their prospects. These projects include Java 9/Spring Boot microservices with serverless AWS 
front-end API gateways, massive elasticsearch datastores with scalable document schemas, end-to-end test suites 
using Rest Assured, and wide-ranging collaboration with our data, dev ops, and integrations teams. 
 
Software Engineer · Radius Intelligence · May 2016 - July 2017 
○ Lead engineer on a multi-month project to overhaul how customers generate audience segments. Responsible for 
collaborating with our data team, writing and testing code that generates predictive analytics requests and handles 
result sets from ML-trained models owned by the predictive team, and managing the release. 
○ Key contributor in delivering Radius Customer Exchange, a marquee feature that allows enterprise clients to plan 
and manage joint marketing campaigns by safely sharing data between CRM instances and leveraging the Radius 
Business Graph to identify and target desirable B2B audience segments. 
○ Core owner of the application team’s end-to-end testing framework, which uses Protractor in a multi-stage test 
suite that builds and executes using Jenkins and Saucelabs every night and notifies our team of failures via Slack. 

  SKILLS & TECHNOLOGIES   

  Strong with Java 8/9 (Spring, Maven, Gradle), Javascript (AngularJS, React/Redux, node.js), Ruby (RoR), AWS, SQL   
(mainly postgres), HTML, CSS, git, Jenkins. Familiar with python, mongoDB, ansible, and probably some other stuff. 

  SIDE PROJECTS   

  Bookhound   
○ This project is WIP, but it’s close to MVP and pretty neat if you ask me, so ​take a look​ (​code here​). It uses Plaid, 
Zinc, Stripe, and a boatload of other libraries and tools to help you read more real books. Specifically, it connects to 
and analyses your checking account, identifies good times to withdraw small amounts of cash, then uses that 
money to eventually buy and ship you books on your publicly available wishlist on Amazon. 
 
Zinc Fetch 
○ This was a module that I am using in Bookhound that seemed like it might be useful for other folks. Now it’s a nice 
little ​open source NPM package​ that uses a node-fetch wrapper to handle requests to the Zinc.io API (handles 
pricing/orders/product details for Amazon stuff) and gets a few hundred downloads/month. 
 
Callie the Calendar Corgi 
○ Callie is a node/Express/MongoDB slackbot in the official Slack App Directory. She’s cute, simple, and has about 
3000 users. You can ​install her here​ or c​ heck out how she works here​. She does some basic message parsing in 
order to supply users with scheduled and on-demand countdowns to registered events with a few optional configs.
