Closing airflow was the biggest contribution Biggest net accomplishment:

  • Taken workflow engine, swapped it out and replaced it with a new one
  • Every company is going to be in the middle of migration
  • Got the not yet working system working

Dealt with the decline processor into the loader framework When we had issues with production, got them fixed

  • Fixing production issues is pretty good as well!

Kafka mock stuff, hypothesis stuff, big steps in the testing infrastructure, tested it in the decline ingester, found a bug based on the testing tool Property based testing (rather than having a tiny handful of golden examples, generate random examples) is a lot more sophisticated way of doing testing

What you look for is accomplishments, achievements, things that move the needle

All code that is in production, touching critical systems

  • More work to get context on existing systems and not break things

People are really looking to how I’m contributing to the overall direction of the company, how did these things actually benefit the larger organization as a whole

Dealing with the messiness of the real-world, already code that’s there and you have to modify it

People reading the resume might not know what Kubernetes is, but they will know what it means to provide business value

Mentioning that I changed the ETL system, swapped a big part of it out, mentioning Kubernetes is important

Wouldn’t be bad to mention the pipeline aspect, data pipelines are used with machine learning, now a lot of companies are building up data pipelines

There’s a new job that’s forming in the last few years (machine learning engineer) - focus is on running models in production

The whole process of taking raw data at the beginning of that pipeline, and converting it to usable data is pretty valuable - Other companies might be interested in how Theorem does it

Theorem might also up a machine learning engineer job

Student membership in IEEE, or ACM, that has job links Looking for people that have academic qualifications, or looking for students

Try to see if I can get a software contractor job

Kelly worked for Matrix Resources, the firm that provided the labor count

Triplebyte, some of the other angellist stuff like that,

Ping career center, it’s worth a shot
