The National Earthquake Alerts Centre (NEAC) operates highly-available software systems that
detect earthquakes and disseminate the resulting information. I lead a small team of
engineers responsible for maintaining and enhancing these systems, providing architectural
guidance and code review to affirm a culture of continual improvement. I have:

- Architected an overhaul of our infrastructure management and DevOps practices, allowing
us to quickly provision functional copies of our system, e.g. for training or automated
testing, on **AWS** using **Terraform**.
- Developed a custom data platform for the quality control, storage,
discovery and dissemination of earthquake-related data of all kinds.
Built on **Python/Flask/SQLAlchemy**,
**PostgreSQL/PostGIS**, [lit-element](https://lit.dev/), **JupyterHub**.
- Integrated the [USGS ShakeMap](https://github.com/usgs/shakemap) model into our system,
allowing the NEAC to rapidly estimate and visualize the areas most effected by an
earthquake. I worked with geoscientists to tailor the configuration to Australian
seismology, and added several new features to the ShakeMap software to meet our
requirements, which I subsequently contributed back to the USGS repository.
- Improved
[the NEAC's custom earthquake inversion
software](https://github.com/GeoscienceAustralia/ga-wphase) and managed its open-source
release: wrote a test suite, refactored, ported to Python 3, improved performance,
identified and fixed bugs, enhanced statistical models, replaced closed-source code with
**scipy** equivalents.
- Developed ETL pipelines to integrate external data into our operational system.
- Used **Jupyter Notebooks** to quickly create re-usable data analysis and visualization
tools to support reporting and decision making by the NEAC's operations and science
leadership.

[*Geometric Flows of Diffeomorphisms*][thesis]
**Supervisor:** Ben Andrews
Geometric flows hijack what we know about the physics of heat flow to study geometry: by
making a mathematical analogy between "spikiness" and heat, we can deform
poorly-understood spiky objects to simple smooth ones; and by understanding the
mathematical properties of this deformation we can derive new knowledge about the spiky
things we started with. In my thesis research, I applied this methodology to a previously
unstudied class of flow.

**Majors:** Mathematics, Physics
**Honours Thesis:** *The Riemannian Penrose Inequality and the Inverse Mean Curvature Flow*
**Supervisor:** Gilbert Weinstein
The universe should weigh at least as much as the biggest black hole it contains, but the
mathematical embodiment of this fact (the Penrose Inequality) is remarkably difficult to
derive from general relativity: it took until 1999 for even a special case to be proven.

- Interactive Media: as a spin-off from my thesis research, I combined
numerical simulations of partial differential equations with my expertise in frontend web
development to develop interactive visualizations of some geometric flows, which you can
play with online at

[a.carapetis.com/diff_flow/](https://a.carapetis.com/diff_flow/) (**PixiJS**).
