Irvine, California, US

• Responsible for the DevOps/cloud engineering team’s quarterly goals and objectives
• Implemented cloud infrastructure standards and practices utilized across the organization
• Drafted design proposals for migrating to an even-driven architecture using Kafka (AWS MSK), isolated service data access patterns, as well as new standards for configuration and secret management

Irvine, California, US

• Rebuilt AWS Control Tower implementation, refactoring workloads into discrete accounts and environments
• Designed and implemented multi-account, multi-environment network topology to support growth objectives and security requirements established
• Established cloud security standards and practices for the organization including compliance monitoring and alerting
• Designed and implemented new standards for permissions and access management, removing almost all usage of static credentials, providing teams more autonomy over their individual services, and established credential.
• Implemented infrastructure-as-code practices, migrating +90% of the infrastructure to be managed by Terraform and Atlantis peer review workflow for a distributed, self-service model
• Worked closely with software development teams to educate and implement serverless best practices

Seattle, WA, US

• Led a multi-disciplined team to migrate a global Fortune 500 organization and its 2,800+ servers out of 28 data centers into AWS
• Led design and implementation of version 2 of migration plan and strategy with customer leadership team
• Implemented Terraform infrastructure-as-code standards and practices scaled across 500+ repositories and multiple business units/teams globally
• Migrated small workload for asset management firm, refactoring workload to utilize serverless and managed service offerings for scalability, reduced cost, and lower management overhead

New York, NY, US

• Responsible for overall cloud security posture and asset protection
• Designed and implemented serverless cloud infrastructure automatic vulnerability remediation system

• Established Terraform infrastructure-as-code standards and practices
• Led migration of core, backend resources from ECS onto EKS

New York, US

• Sole individual responsible for global cloud infrastructure that supports a central data lake and several data processing pipelines to power a machine learning platform for advertisement real-time bidding optimization
• Created several event-driven, serverless microservices to assist in managing the global cloud infrastructure
• Migrated existing infrastructure to be controlled under Terraform as IAC - standardized and aligned environment configurations; reduced monthly cloud spend by 5%
• Improved security posture through use of IAM roles/policies, secret management, network segmentation (VPCs, NACLs, security groups), and automated password rotation and credential revocation
• Completed AWS EKS cluster proof-of-concept, demonstrating the benefits of artifact promotion through container images instead of direct server build deployments

New York, NY, US

• Redesigned ETL workflow to provide stable and robust processing pipelines for consistently providing end users with reliable data stores
• Implemented ETL pipelines to extract data from relational database systems, csv flat files, and webpage content
• Implemented coding styles and best practices through a CI/CD workflow consisting of static analysis, unit tests, and integration tests
• Refactored cloud resources to create a clear separation of workflows between development, staging, and production environments
• Introduced the team to git version control, GitHub, and infrastructure-as-code recommended practices

Solon, OH, US
