🏄 Hello World
I'm Alan, a software/data engineer and lifelong learner. I enjoy analyzing data and optimizing systems.
Some of my notable accomplishments are:
- Developed data products that generated $53,000 in avg. monthly recurring revenue
- Programmed the computer imaging and robotic subsystems for a microscope platform
- Built a mobile SDK that integrated into 100+ apps
- Created an API with an install base that grew to over 50+ million iOS/Android devices
- Designed and deployed a nationwide over-the-air ad verification system for the top 100 US markets
My other interests include surfing, photography and 3D printing. Recently, I've been playing around with OpenSCAD and Stable Diffusion.
