Led a DevOps team in handling the entire infrastructure stack as well as multiple internal tools. The infrastructure was mostly Google Cloud based stacks of Kubernetes clusters that held a wide variety of applications and services. The internal tools were web based applications as well as command line tooling (Typescript/Python/Go/Bash) that served all of our engineering teams to deliver software, interact with running services, build up new stacks for new customers, and any other thing that was necessary for the business to succeed.Implemented several overhauls of systems to modernize or shift the systems to new infrastructure and tooling as older tooling went out of commission or no longer met our needs. Solved many problems that existed in the applications and infrastructure as well as implemented solutions and new features for our tooling and infrastructure.Led cross-team, cross-organization design discussions to ensure scalability, security, and usability of the tooling and infrastructure. These discussions also helped lead to more collaborative efforts across many of the tools.Mentored and taught many engineers both inside the team that I led as well as engineers from outside teams.Implemented a cultural shift across the DevOps team to increase efficiency and quality in our design decisions and code changes.Actively contributed in oncall issues both in daytime/night/weekend oncall shifts of my own as well as in other team member’s assigned shifts to ensure that the team’s response quality stayed high and SLAs were met.

Led a “tiger team” to modernize the development and infrastructure stack across the entire company. Moving from platform with .Net stack with human created machines, VMs, and environments to a platform with a setup allowing for AWS resources (created through an IaC pipeline) and containerized apps on Kubernetes and fewer requirements on programming language or stack.Created the infrastructure for the new platform from scratch (GitLab, CI Pipelines, ArgoCD, EKS/Tanzu clusters, AWS Accounts, etc.)Led architectural design sessions to ensure scalability, security, and usability of the platformOnboarded and trained development teams on using the new platform for a variety of use cases and needs.
