I lead a team that writes and maintains automation enabling the build, test, and deployment processes of Calabrio's SAAS platform – both cloud and on-premise. Additionally I write practical solutions that both introduces new services and improves stability of the platform.BuildADO pipelines that coordinate cloud and on-premise infrastructure to build and package CalabrioOneBuild pipeline produces artifacts for both on-premise and cloud packagesCode is packaged via AMI for cloudCode is packaged via MSI for on-premiseDeploymentLegacy deployment pipeline was built using ADO pipelines to orchestrate Powershell scripts run on EC2 Instances via AWS SSM CommandsCurrent deployment pipeline build using ADO pipeline to orchestrate Terraform deployments of both infrastructure and code to AWSMaintenanceRefactored legacy deployment scripts reducing instances of false status reporting and reducing the script code base by 25%Refactored current deployment pipeline into framework for deploying any service to AWS reducing overall required code base by 90%Effort focused on consolidating and templating similar code across our deployment pipelinesServices/AutomationBackend service designed to stabilize the platform while infrastructure joins and leaves the cluster. Uses ADO pipelines to deploy service infrastructure to AWS.Automation capable of deploying Datadog to existing infrastructure and manipulate the service without manually logging into the instance. Uses ADO pipelines with AWS SSM commands

In addition to my responsibilities for Primordial, I worked on the following while at Polaris.A vehicle to vehicle (v2v) communications prototype for off road vehicles.I was paired with a systems engineer to design hardware and software that would allow simple v2v communications with the intent of providing riders enough lead time to avoid collisions at dangerous scenarios such as blind intersections in the forest, or hill cresting in the dunes. The prototypes and tests were a success and a patent was filed in August 2016.Technical Adviser on product/business developmentWorked with product managers to determine hardware and software requirements for products related to off-road vehicles. Additionally, I provided rough order estimates of the labor required for implementation of software.

Project lead for two Dept. of Defense funded projects. Responsible for architecture, design and implementation of the projects in addition to writing monthly and final reports. http://primordial.com/index.php/projects/tentacle- A project for the Air Force involved tracking and collecting metadata on people and vehicles using static camera feeds. The entities would be projected onto a map and the end user could query the system to retrieve camera feeds matching an entity description. Based on the success of the first phase of the contract, Primordial was awarded an additional $1 million in follow on funding.http://primordial.com/index.php/projects/overlord- The second project was for the Marine Corps and involved tracking trainees as they executed building clearing exercises. Using ultra wide band trackers and computer based rule sets, we were able to successfully flag trainees if they violated rules. Rule violations were time stamped and if present, the trainers would be able to retrieve video to show the violation.http://primordial.com/index.php/products/ground-guidanceAssisted in transitioning our flagship product, Ground Guidance, from a stand alone desktop application to an SDK to be consumed by 3rd party vendors. Following the acquisition by Polaris, I was the lead architect for all of the integration efforts for the military. Additionally, I was responsible for the design and implementation of our web based mapping service. These efforts led to the fielding of Ground Guidance. Over the span of its existence, Ground Guidance has received over $15 million in funding.Built and maintained continuous integration and one click release server using Jenkins, which reduced the time spent on QA and deployment.Key contributor leading up to acquisition by Polaris Industries.
