   Windfall Bio

   Nov 2024 — Present · San Mateo County, CA, US

   Windfall Bio is a biotechnology company that uses proprietary methane-eating microbes, known as “mems”, to capture harmful methane emissions from industry like agriculture and oil and gas. These natural microbes consume the waste methane and transform it into high-value organic fertilizer and carbon credits.• Architected and delivered a cloud-native data aggregation platform to centralize Windfall Bio’s laboratory metrics. Built on a microservices architecture within AWS, the system utilized Terraform (IaC) and GitHub Actions for automated CI/CD, ensuring high availability and 95%+ uptime. This platform empowered the fermentation team with real-time data visualizations, significantly accelerating process optimization and decision-making.• Architected and integrated an intelligent agentic layer into the data platform using AWS Generative AI (Agentic Core). This enabled natural language interfacing with complex fermentation datasets, allowing non-technical stakeholders to perform sophisticated data retrieval and system interaction through automated AI agents.• Architected and deployed a resilient on-premise virtualization environment using Hyper-V to centralize Windfall Bio’s fermentation control systems. Engineered a secure network topology by implementing robust firewall policies and encrypted remote access, ensuring 24/7 operational continuity for mission-critical Infors EVE software and industrial sensors. Resulted in 95% uptime for critical lab data collection.Tools: Notion, Github, Linear, Zapier, Teams
