WHO IS ERIC?

I am a back end software developer located in San Francisco, CA. I am interested
in cloud infrastructure, databases, ETLs and the flow of data through software
systems.

ABOUT ME


QUICK INTRODUCTION

I come from a scientific background where I used a little bit of computation and
a lot of experimentation to model protein structures. My career progressively
became less about science and more about software and data pipelines. Data has
been my passion throughout this journey. I enjoy exploring the best way to model
a problem with data, or deciding how to structure data for the greatest future
flexibility. I am also perpetually excited by cloud infrastructure. Cloud is
such a force multiplier! I am repeatedly amazed by what can be quickly built on
a public cloud.

PROJECTS I CONSIDER MYSELF A LIFETIME LEARNER, AND PROJECTS ARE A GREAT WAY TO
LEARN SOMETHING NEW.


CAR DATA

Car Data is an ETL pipeline that scrapes model information about cars directly
from the websites of auto manufacturers. The information targeted is
configuration options, such as interior colors, performance packages, wheel
options, trim levels etc. Currently, 24,000 configuration options from 406 car
models area accessible by this project.

Key challenges of the project were reverse engineering public APIs of car
manufacturers to access the required data. Designing a flexible, but still
useful data model, required a lot of thought and some compromise. A model was
developed which preserved a maximum amount of information, while minimally
destructuring the data.

NODOZE

If you have ever disabled sleep on your computer to allow a long-running task to
complete, NoDoze might offer you a better solution. NoDoze is a daemon written
in Python that delays sleep in response to conditions that you configure.

These conditions can be something like an app running or a server streaming a
media file. A simple plugin interface and plugin autodiscovery make it possible
to easily add new plugins. Additionally, a straightforward YAML configuration
offers ways to tweak existing plugins.



This project gave me the opportunity to hack some pretty fundamental parts of
Linux including D-Bus messaging and interprocess signaling using file descriptor
locks.

DOCUCLOUD

DocuCloud is a cloud file system that implements file versioning through
copy-on-write. The project is similar in idea to Google drive. The greatest
challenges in this project were focused around modeling a filesystem in a
Postgres database. Handling distributed transactions across S3 and Postgres was
another interesting challenge. The GitHub README goes into more detail, if
you're curious.

REACTIVE NOTES APP

Reactive programming is more polarizing to the Java community than even the
Eclipse vs IntelliJ debate! I wanted to judge reactive for myself.

This project allowed me to explore Project Reactor and Spring Webflux in a fun,
yet relatively simple CRUD note making app. Beyond learning reactive, I really
had to get my hands dirty with Spring Security, KeyCloak and OAuth2. I also put
on my webdev hat and built a React SPA frontend.
