Experience

Software Developer, AQUAVIEW (Data Engineering & ML) — Institute for Advanced Analytics and Security (IAAS) · May 2025 – Present

Co-architect AQUAVIEW, a multi-service oceanographic platform on Google Cloud Run (Terraform + Cloud Build): a Litestar async API, Next.js frontend, FastMCP server, and a Litestar/httpx Health Monitor feeding Grafana dashboards and Google Chat alerts.
Built WOD-Chat, a natural-language search agent (LangGraph state machine) that compiles plain-English questions into structured query plans, resolving instrument codes and QC thresholds with a confirm-before-execute plan loop, returning 50M+ rows as CSV/Parquet and auto-generating Colab notebooks for visualization.
Built the data pipeline — a Dagster job converting multi-year NOAA WOD NetCDF to Parquet and indexing it into an on-prem Beacon store, with a file-index sidecar that narrows the agent's scan; moved core ops to Polars + lazy Dask for ~80% higher throughput (earlier path: WOD to Zarr via Icechunk + Dask, served through ArrayLake).
Built the observability stack: a Health Monitor with probes across API, frontend, and WOD queries, auto-generated incident tracking and feed endpoints, an AQUAVIEW-themed status page, and Grafana dashboards grouped by service category.

Software Development Associate — ArroyoDev · Oct 2025 – May 2026

Built Illumibot's Vite/React + Supabase marketplace: product, seller, and storefront pages, a shared cart, a Firestore service layer, and buyer-to-seller messaging with a hire-a-seller flow.
Migrated the storefront checkout from Square to Stripe end to end — Stripe checkout sessions, webhook processing, a provider-aware order schema, and bidirectional Stripe/catalog product sync.
Designed a multi-zone shipping-rate engine on Supabase edge functions (admin-managed origins, specs, boxes, and rate config; a unit-tested box-packing algorithm; EasyShip integration), plus a real-time Supabase inventory system and an event-shop subsystem with RLS and server-side price resolution.
Built projection-reactions, a real-time pipeline turning YouTube-live-chat prompts into AI-generated images on an OBS overlay via a content filter, per-viewer credit tracker, prompt queue, MQTT render dispatch, and a WebSocket overlay coordinated by an orchestrator state machine.
Shipped Flutter app features (photo-upload validation, admin-login deeplinks and activity tracking, drag-and-drop reordering, IR-remote control), a Kivy IoT home-screen redesign, and a Metricool-to-Slack notifier on Firebase Functions.
