+\cventry{2020--2023}{Staff Software Engineer}{ReadySet}{Remote}{}
+{Founding engineer at a startup bringing a high performance
+  partially-stateful, incrementally-maintained SQL database based on the Noria
+  thesis to market
+  \begin{itemize}
+    \item Served as the main technical leadership for the project throughout its
+          maturation from a research codebase to a production-grade system
+    \item Extended the Noria PhD thesis by implementing methods from multiple
+          research papers, masters theses, and other papers from database
+          research, in addition to original database research and development.
+    \item Invented or helped develop multiple novel database techniques in
+          partially materialized dataflow, including index planning and
+          selection, pagination, post-lookup aggregate processing, partial
+          ``straddled'' joins, weak indexes for correct execution of partial
+          joins, and more.
+    \item Invented novel ways to test SQL databases, including a new deterministic
+          generator for SQL queries.
+    \item Developed the clustered high availability distributed runtime mode from
+          a buggy research feature into a production ready distributed system
+          that passed a suite of Jepsen tests.
+    \item Implemented a significant fraction of the SQL query planner, which
+          required both implementing algorithms specified in database research
+          papers and inventing new techniques to work around the limitations of
+          partially materialized dataflow
+    \item Optimized critical components of the code base, including algorithmic
+          optimizations, CPU cache analysis, low-level data structures, and
+          broad system runtime analysis
+    \item Implemented a type inference engine and expression evaluator that
+          supported multiple dialects of SQL configured at compile-time, with
+          maximum code reuse while preserving maintainability
+    \item Mentored multiple junior and senior engineers
+    \item Open-Source contributions visible at
+          \url{https://github.com/readysettech/readyset/commits?author=glittershark}
