  - Set center-wide IT strategy and budgeting across clinical and research programs; set mission, roadmap, and capacity plans for compute, storage, and networking.
  - Architect resilient infrastructure with operational continuity; lead purchasing, capacity management, and lifecycle planning.
  - Deliver enterprise backup & DR with on- and off-site replication supporting disk, machine, and site-level recovery.
  - Build observability and QA: Zabbix-based real-time monitoring/alerting and trend-driven predictive models; performance metrics to forecast growth and utilization.
  - Deploy modern imaging platforms including XNAT and Orthanc on TrueNAS + Proxmox; reproducible configuration-as-code; lossless ETL of images, metadata, and users.
  - Develop reproducible neuroimaging pipelines: automated fMRIPrep workflows driven by declarative YAML.
  - Maintain research computing: Red Hat + Bright/SLURM HPC; current imaging/system software; shared storage, backup, and networking for Core and Clinical Services; manage PACS and RIS.
  - Virtualize services to reduce hardware footprint and improve agility and reliability.

  - Supported clients, including many of the Fortune 50, in their use of the Ab Initio ETL software including the GDE, Co>Operating System, Control Center, Metadata Hub, and underlying systems.
  - Built software solutions on Linux, Solaris, and AIX ranging from low-level system utilities to high-performance data processing engines operating over data warehouse systems spanning tens of thousands of database tables and hundreds of petabytes of data.
  - Implemented systems to provide data lineage traceability and provide build systems that supply reproducible reporting.
  - Taught internal classes in the use of our technologies and developed additional teaching materials to enhance existing classes.
  - Managed and helped develop the internal proprietary Help system as well as its open source (nginx and Tomcat) components.
  - Developed and maintained internal-facing dashboards (web-based and using custom designed hardware based on the Raspberry Pi and Arduino platforms) to support visualization and escalation.
  - Started and managed a lecture series, "Brainfood", wherein colleagues presented interesting scientific concepts, their thesis work, or anything else they found fascinating.

 #resume-item[
  - Developed software (Python, bash, Tcl/Tk, and C, on Linux) for FDA and CE certified robots that assist stroke and other patients with rehabilitation.
  - Worked with clinical staff to design treatment protocols and translate these into products.
  - Made sure the robots followed Asimov’s First Law of Robotics by implementing multiple redundant safety systems including software- and hardware-based power-off systems triggering on logical, electrical, and mechanical faults, with hard real time (\<1 ms) decision time requirements.
  - Rewrote tens of thousands of lines of legacy Tcl/Tk code in (much less) Python
  - Developed software in C  for an Atmel microcontroller, replacing the PLC in a new product line
  - Developed robot mechanical dynamics simulations in Jupyter/IPython Notebook
  - Rewrote the central Xenomai-based real-time robot control loop to use a CANbus architecture
  - Redesigned software deployment mechanism, which had been based mostly on manual instructions and loose collections of shell scripts, to use modern Debian packages and containerization
  - Mentored junior programmers and interns

 Thesis: Neural Object Representation Spaces and their Metric Properties

 #resume-item[
  - I showed a new method of computationally modeling and analyzing functional neuroimaging data using multidimensional scaling-like methods. Code (primarily Matlab) written for my dissertation is available at #link("https://github.com/dmd/thesis")[github.com/dmd/thesis].
  - I wrote tools in Python and Matlab to manage long-running computation jobs and the operation of the Penn Center for Functional Neuroimaging cluster, and created a calendaring system to manage MRI reservations with complex business process requirements. I additionally took coursework in the theory of human decision-making: the science of how and why people and organizations make mistakes, and how to overcome these mistakes and make rational decisions instead.
