Daniel Rubin

- Re-architected a coupled extract and load pipeline into separate scalable components, reducing code complexity and decreasing effort to develop new integrations. - Migrated self-service reporting and analytics tools to a modern platform centered on data-build-tool (dbt), to ease barrier to entry for less technical users. - Took ownership of a client side tracking platform(Snowplow Analytics), processing 100M+ events per day. Owned all aspects and infrastructure post event creation to ingestion into data warehouse. - Developed guidelines and best practices for direct product integrations with the data warehouse. - Served as a member of the CarGurus Server Side Council, a cross-functional group overseeing and providing guidance on the adoption of new tools and technology for the entire Engineering Organization.

- Developed integrations for a scalable ELT pipeline from both internal and external sources into a Snowflake data warehouse. - Maintained and expanded observability for cloud based distributed architecture for a large scale ELT pipeline, processing 100s of GB per day. - Established a center of excellence for efficient and maintainable analytical SQL. - Translated legacy cloud infrastructure to into infrastructure-as-code (terraform) for ease of maintainability.

* Developed and iterated upon synthesis methods for novel 2D materials (i.e Graphene, MoS2, MoSe2, and WS2) and provided samples to collaborators at Penn State, University of North Texas, and the PUC-Rio. * Fabricated atomically thin nano-scale optoelectronic devices to study complex light-matter interaction in 2D materials. * Utilized quantitative computational models for optical spectroscopies of nanomaterials to validate and analyze experimental data. * Designed, constructed, calibrated, and deployed optoelectronic characterization instrumentation used in material characterization running on LabView and Python. *Simulated nuclear processes in various materials using MCNP to model ionizing radiation in the design of radiation detection systems. * Managed and maintained a Raman spectrometry user facility with users in the Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering departments. * Provide training and mentoring to new graduate students and co-op students. Mentees have gone on to present novel research at national conferences and accept offers to continue work at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.

Instructed a weekly laboratory in introductory calculus based physics curriculum developed for professional students. Duties included grading laboratory reports and quizzes, and calculating and distributing final grades.

Instructed a weekly Interactive Learning Session (ILS) and laboratory in introductory calculus based physics (Classical Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism). Duties included grading laboratory reports and quizzes. Other duties included holding weekly office hours to assist students with questions focused on homework or laboratory procedure and analysis.

*Fabricated scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tips using electrochemical etching. *Preformed X-Ray photo-emission spectroscopy on Au/Ag surfaces in preparation for ultra high vacuum STM studies of surface physics.
