DoubleDown Interactive (Apr 2012 to Present)
Since graduating from the University of Washington I have been an engineer working on a variety of big data and production scale data processing problems for DoubleDown Interactive in Seattle, Washington. I work daily to make sure every action taken in our app can be processed in realtime providing access to immediately actionable insight into every aspect of our business.

I worked my way up as a Software Engineer I, II, III, and IV until I achieved the position of Senior Database Engineer - Lead. After this I stepped up to the next challenge and assumed the role of Manager of Business Intelligence, guiding a team of like-minded developers in bringing our data solutions to the next level.
