London, UK - 2015 - 2016
During an industrial placement year, worked full-time to implement graph theory and high-performance browser-based rendering techniques for visualizing complex dependencies across thousands of heterogeneous, cross-system batch jobs executing daily processes. Developed both live and replayable visualizations to improve real-time observability and post-event analysis, significantly reducing operational toil associated with debugging and system monitoring. This solution enhanced system transparency, facilitating faster issue resolution and deeper insights into inter-process dependencies.
Engineered JVM agents to accurately identify active class usage within a large-scale Java and Scala codebase running across thousands of production machines. Moving beyond artifact-level checks, these agents precisely tracked code utilization in live environments, enabling targeted deprecation and facilitating the cleanup of a substantial percentage of redundant code. This initiative optimized the codebase, improving maintainability and performance across the system.
