DRW

Quantitative Developer

I started at DRW in July 2022, working on the Fixed Income, Commodities, and Currencies Options desk. My work mostly consists of developing, supporting, and researching automated options market making strategies, as well as building trading tools for the desk.

Akuna Capital

C++ Engineer Intern, Summer 2021

• I built an optimization engine for process-thread allocations on an internal runtime.
• This was used to improve process layouts on multithreaded target machines for the company’s trading engine application.
• As a net result, the project reduced latency and increased throughput compared to developer-tuned resource allocations.
• Automating the process of manually tuning allocations saved the company time and allowed for a tighter performance-based feedback loop.

Cloudflare

Software Engineer Intern, Spring 2021

• I redesigned a portion of Cloudflare’s private network interconnect product, allowing additional functionality for users.
• This specifically included enabling private IP routing using Cloudflare’s edge servers as a WAN, a product now available as Magic WAN.
• While Magic WAN supports a variety of packet on-ramps, the company’s PNI product serves the largest enterprise users.

Software Engineer Intern, Summer 2020

• I created a customer-facing network diagnostic tool with a team of interns (Netvisor).
• The tool gathers information like latency and packet routes from Cloudflare’s 200 data centers, and gives customers visibility into networking issues.
• It is currently in use internally and externally to trace packet routes across the internet and identify outages.
