  ● Designed and implemented C++-based pipeline for parsing third-party disk image format, reducing disk image import latencies from O(days) to O(30 minutes)● Designed and implemented internal C++/Bazel/Starlark testing framework which allows developers to re-use a single test case in multiple environments which trade between speed & fidelity. This approach shifts development left to catch more bugs while providing better test coverage more efficiently, saving O(weeks) of SWE time per feature● Gained deep understanding of Google Cloud Platform systems/usage patterns, familiarity with Kubernetes/Borg Show less
