Led development of Calypr, a React/Go data platform enabling secure, scalable discovery and sharing of research datasets and downstream analyses.

Engineered

Syfon, a multi-cloud data access layer enabling unified indexing and reliable transfer of large datasets across S3, Azure, and GCS via resumable multipart pipelines and standards-based APIs; accelerated development using agentic AI tools such as Codex and Antigravity for system design documents and implementation. Transformed a fork of the Gen3 Frontend Framework into the Calypr front-end by redesigning navigation, authentication flows, and UI architecture, enabling a more modern user experience for data discovery.

• Created Gecko, a Go micro-service for dynamic configuration management via RESTful APIs with RBAC-enabled authentication backed by PostgreSQL, replacing static configuration baked into container images.
• Deployed and managed containerized services on Kubernetes (AWS EKS and OpenStack) using Helm, enabling staged roll-outs and reproducible infrastructure.
• Collaborated with University of Chicago CTDS engineers to integrate Funnel, a toolkit for distributed task execution, into the data platform, which involved remodeling Funnel's Kubernetes support and adding a Hashicorp go-plugin to Funnel.
