Industry Experience

Computers & Electronics, Government, Financial Services
    uniE613 OCR Document Ingestion
    Led a team of around 7 that developed an automated system to use optical character recognition (OCR) to ingest PDFs or images of submitted government documents. I started the project as a developer. I wrote a machine learning model to classify different form types that we supported and most of the backend pipeline to SQL. As the project got bigger, I was given a leading role and more developers were brought on. As tech lead I met with regularly with stakeholders to share progress, write up requirements for new features, worked with my team to design architecture proposals, and helped with development. The team trained more specialized machine learning models, designed a UI for government employees to verify and fix OCR output, and designed pipelines to recognize, apply schemas and ingest. By the time I left the project we had saved tens of thousands of man hours of entering this information manually, according to feedback and estimates from our clients.…
    uniE613 Kubernetes Home Lab
    My Kubernetes powered home network that I share with some friends and family. It started out as wanting to practice Kubernetes and has turned into a (nearly) production-ready environment. It includes a full logging, monitoring and alerting stack that emails me when issues come up, distributed Ceph based storage, pod autoscaling, loadbalancing, Nvidia GPU passthrough, cluster-wide backups, public endpoints proxied through cloudflare and several apps. https://www.twine.net/signin…
    uniE613 OpenStack Deploy Tools
    Terraform code and scripts to automate my personal project deployments to any OpenStack powered cloud provider. I ran some of my homelab projects in an OpenStack provider before switching over to fully self-hosting. https://www.twine.net/signin…
