Using Go (Golang) and AWS,- Built fleet management solution. Managed 10k+ endpoints with capacity to scale both vertically and horizontally on AWS. By managing expected configuration we could act on various states by taking targeted action to resolve incongruous results with strategic automation. The net effect being the fully automated solving of a variety of unmet expectations to bring the fleet into compliance with standards.- Built alert distribution solution. Connecting management and technical users to service requests with chain-of-authority climbing and escalation management through custom callback triggers and ticketing system changes.- A history of acquiring data regardless of vendor support. Leveraging web scraping to acquire data needed for various reports, we were able to automate beyond what was officially available to partners.- By building solutions using a combination of microservices architecture and function-based code deployment to AWS Lambda, we could benefit from long-running daemons as well as event-based functional solutions.
