Co-founded and lead engineer for Apollo team, the primary Personal Development and Integration Testing tool- Apollo is used by 100% of engineers at Robinhood- 100% of services in the company are onboarded, and new services must onboard themselves- Since launch, major outages due to untested, buggy business logic dropped to 0- Provides “Bootstrap command” to nearly automatically onboard new services- Created option to run service in “production-like” mode to test infrastructure changes- Onboarding to Apollo nearly onboards a service to Kubernetes- Used to determine service dependency graph for entire architecture- All deployments and merges are dependent on passing all Apollo integration tests- Maintained kubernetes cluster for ~350k pods per dayDeveloped Eventstream, an easily queryable and visual insight into all major events/changes in the architecture- Utilized to firefight severe incidents, narrow down the scope of the issues- Provides notifications such as when a service was deployed to slack, grafana, etcModernized Backend and Data Engineering services (containerization, kubernetes, etc)Performed design reviews for new applications, ensuring they were production-ready and scalableAssisted with numerous major launches, including international expansion, IPO, debit cards, enhanced options, etcOversaw onboarding of 60% of material services onto GRPCProvided custom GRPC wrappers for ease of onboarding and the ability to add security to inter-service communication- Authentication system where each service could define which other services could use which methods- Business entity/leveling system such that services can only query services in their business entity and lower architecture level- Introduced testing services for GRPC changes in the Apollo environment, previously had no method of testing
