Software Engineering Intern

Uber
San Francisco, California
May - Dec 2021

In my latest position, I returned to the Business Intelligence team at Uber, which works on creating software solutions that help to analyze business data. During my 8-month internship I worked on several projects. Most of my work was on the internal queryrunner system that runs queries on Uber’s internal data. I worked to improve the performance of the queueing algorithm by implementing a caching system to cache repetitive queries that were overusing resources. The newly implemented system helped to save hundreds of thousands of queries from being run per week, saving resources and improving the health of the service. I also worked to surface a user interface that users could leverage to manage their past and present queries.

• Collaborated with other teams to maximize improvements for query caching system
• Developed several options for query caching system and presented to team
• Implemented caching system in Go for internal query system improving service performance
• Created backend endpoints for user interface that users can manage queries on

Software Engineering Intern

Uber
San Francisco, California
Jan - Apr 2020

During my second internship at Uber, I was on the Business Intelligence team at Uber, which creates and manages software solutions to analyze business data. I worked on an important internal service used by many departments which runs queries on Uber’s data. My project was designing and implementing a new queueing algorithm for queries to solve current issues in the existing system which include lack of a prioritization scheme and inefficient use of resources. I worked autonomously to determine new requirements, design two algorithm options, arrange design review meetings to select an option, create an implementation schedule and finally implement the new algorithm to production. It was a unique experience that allowed me to develop deeper technical knowledge with active exposure to project management in an industry application.

• Collaborated with key stakeholders to determine requirements for new system
• Developed two options for a new queuing algorithm, a round robin and multilevel queueing system
• Scheduled and led multiple design meetings to discuss and select algorithm
• Developed implementation schedule with milestones to monitor progress, tracked in Jira
• Coded round robin queueing system in Go with prioritization scheme, datasource resource management and scalable features
• New system achieves fairness in queuing with use cases including VIP users and rogue users
• Tracked action items against relevant developers for project dependent tasks
• Tested code locally, in staging, and in production to ensure new changes were successfully working
• Wrote Bash scripts to perform load testing on new system
• Created metrics and new graphs in Grafana to monitor queue sizes, health, and operations
• Conducted phased implementation to roll out new changes to production
• Presented and documented new service to show changes and future steps for project
