I'm a Forward Deployed Engineer on Warpspeed. We partner with large manufacturers and overhaul their manufacturing management to drastically improve their process efficiency and cut down the beauracratic overhead that’s hampers industrial throughput. Lately, I work on production scheduling and material management.
Senseonics makes a wearable device to measure your blood glucose 24/7 (CGM). They make the only CGM that lasts a whole year - everyone else lasts weeks at most.
I worked on model deployment across Firmware and Mobile + maintained an R&D simulation of our device.
I also built a Custom Supply Chain Management tool - centralizing all our manufacturing & sales data. This inspired an even better agent based version, which grew to 20k ARR.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face" - Mike Tyson. Similarly, everyone knows how to ship until they see scale.
Retail giant, I got to intern on the backend for stores team - mainly streamlining our returns process.
I also interned on the Data Engineering team the previous summer, I got to build monitoring and data validation systems for our payment data pipelines.
I got to work with Hadoop, Spark, and loved functional programming in Scala (I quite enjoy Haskell).
