I've covered many roles from running a team of four after stepping up to the role when the company needed me to coding systems to manage cross company efforts. We re-engineered a broken data pipeline to become the stable center of Tribune's reporting system. I develop, deploy, and maintain Airflow DAGs that pull data from diverse sources that feed into BigQuery, all the DevOps work including spinning up testing and production environments, and assist other teams in both companies.

I lead the effort to design, write, test, and deploy the many products of the company. Mentoring, acting as a mediator between developers and external forces, cheerleading, and helping with ticket creation and creating them as needed were favorite parts of my job. Just as important, I advised on the impact of future products on performance and development schedules for the product side, help train coworkers outside the team in technical skills, and helped plan and manage the infrastructure of the company. I took part in planning for personnel, handle reviews, and work in raises for the team. If it's something that need to be done, I do it.
