Consulting focused on Systems Design / Continuous Delivery / Devops.Scope varies based on client needs but common technologies include: AWS, Google Cloud, Jenkins, Concourse CI, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Vault, Elasticsearch, Prometheus.Sample project scope: Designed and implemented a lightweight custom PaaS based on Kubernetes to support migrating a 15+ year old business critical legacy application to a modern hosting stack with improved testing and developer workflow.Sample project scope: Designed and implemented a cloud-agnostic video asset management system. Features included full ingest, transcoding, indexing, and archival of arbitrary video from any digital source. System is fault-tolerant and optimized for minimal fixed hosting costs by dynamically provisioning it's own infrastructure based on demand, monitored performance, and current pricing.Additional information available under NDA.

Designed and implemented a state of the art Kubernetes-based platform for running machine learning workloads at scale.Compared to their previous solution, the platform significantly increased overall uptime while decreasing time-to-prediction, model training times, and infrastructure costs.The platform ran mission critical workloads at scale for several GE business units including Aviation and Renewable energy.

Designed, built, and ran an open source platform as a service (cloud.gov) which allows federal agencies to securely host low/moderate applications with minimal compliance overhead.This was achieved by building the system on a foundation of Continuous Delivery of Immutable Infrastructure (AWS) defined via Infrastructure as Code (terraform). This system was paired with Continuous Monitoring systems (prometheus + custom tooling) which ensure all deployed components remained in compliance with FedRAMP/NIST SP 800-53 controls at all times.cloud.gov was the the first completely open source service to receive a FedRAMP Authorization.

Led several teams under the office of the CTO that were deployed across the company to solve challenging technical issues.These issues were frequently related to scaling critical applications and APIs to meet demanding workloads while improving the related software development and continuous integration pipeline for the same applications.
