Skills

Programming Languages

  • High proficiency in C/C++ programming
  • Moderate to high proficiency in Python programming

Parallel Programming

  • Significant programming experience with MPI, OpenSHMEM, CUDA, HIP, OpenMP, and RAJA
  • OpenMP experience in the standard fork/join capabilities. I haven’t used the tasking interface, but I have experience with task-based parallelism through developing code for the PaRSEC runtime
  • Accelerated several applications using CUDA and have proficiency in optimizing CUDA kernels
  • Contribute to the Open MPI code base, and have proficiency in MPI programming and optimization
  • Recently began implementing OpenSHMEM runtime code and have basic understanding of programming in a PGAS model

Public Speaking

  • Presented research at several undergraduate research conferences, EuroMPI 2017, ExaMPI at SC19, HiPar at SC21, P3HPC at SC22, the Roofline Tutorial at SC22, and PMBS23 at SC23
  • Chosen by audition to be the commencement speaker at Salisbury University for my graduation in 2014

Whistling

  • I compete in international whistling competitions, and am a co-founder of the International Whistlers Guild
  • The World Whistlers Convention in 2016 (12th Overall)
  • The Masters of Musical Whistling in 2019 (2nd in Stage 2)

Professional Experience

Senior Middleware Development Engineer, Intel Corporation (2022-Present)

  • Conduct research and development for Intel Federal projects
  • My work focuses on OpenSHMEM and performance analysis/modeling

Postdoctoral Research Associate, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (2020-2022)

  • Performance analysis of Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility applications
  • Preparing the ExaBiome project for the Frontier supercomputer
  • GPU load balancing metric research
  • Expanded roofline analysis research focused on strong scaling performance

Intern, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (2018-2020)

  • GPU load balancing using a molecular dynamics proxy application (CoMD) as a testbed
  • This research eventually led to a publication in my postdoc at ORNL

Intern, Army Research Laboratory (Summer 2011/2016)

  • Implemented a proof of concept of a parallel Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm for finding safe paths for warfighters trying to observe an objective without being killed by an adversary (2016)
  • Performed empirical analysis of below-ground blast events through observations of craters from live explosive events (2011)

Intern, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Summer 2015)

  • Accelerated an existing OpenMP implementation of an orthorectification algorithm using CUDA for several times speedup
  • Wrote a basic profiling system to identify problem areas of an image processing workflow

Resident Assistant, Salisbury University (2011-2014)

  • Assisted in managing a residence hall and building a positive community for residents on campus
  • Training included mediation techniques, crisis management, leadership skills, and much more

REU Student Intern, National Science Foundation (Summer 2013)

  • Wrote a CUDA implementation of GIS terrain modeling for over 100X speedup over the existing serial implementation
