Work Experience
2021 -> Now
Senior Research Engineer
@
Corva
Houston, TX, USA
Mentored Research Engineers and Junior Research Engineers on algorithm development, coding best practices and problem solving thought process.
Implemented software development best practices for the R&D team:
  • Standardized GitHub repositories
  • CICD using GitHub workflows
  • Error monitoring using rollbar
  • Code quality: linting (flake8, isort, black and mypy), pytest based testing framework and automatic code coverage tracking and reporting
2018 -> 2021
Research Engineer
@
Corva
Houston, TX, USA
Contributed to and lead the development of several apps that help improve operations across several verticals in upstream oil and gas industry.
Developed physics and data driven algorithms and implemented them in a production ready, scalable and deployable applications.
2017 -> 2018
Research Engineering Intern
@
Corva
Houston, TX, USA
Developed a real-time automated drilling rig state algorithm to categorize drilling operations into 20 different rig states using WITSML data and contextual data. The algorithm has so far processed over 17000 wells and counting. It is developed in Java and deployed to run on AWS Lambda in real-time.
Feeds most apps on Corva by providing a situational awareness of the ongoing operation. Apps rely on this information for their calculations.
