Originally a member of a 2-person team, I was responsible for all things Cloud Infrastructure, including CI/CD, infra for the Skydio Cloud product, developer/build tooling, analytics, and more. As the company grew, I specialized more on the Skydio Cloud product infrastructure, maintaining and scaling our Kubernetes clusters, S3 storage capabilities.

As a Staff Software Engineer, I was largely responsible for all things infrastructure at Outlier. This included not only the underlying AWS/GCP resources, the Kubernetes layer, and some small amounts of database management; but also a complete rewrite of our workload management tooling to allow it to be extended beyond just the data analysis pipeline. This.

In this role, I was responsible for leading or implementing a large number of technical changes to the stack. Primarily focusing on the backend, I worked in Ruby/NodeJS on Kubernetes in both AWS and GCP environments. One of my major projects during this time was the migration of all data from our RethinkDB clusters into Postgres, including the migration of.

As the Head of Infrastructure at AltSchool, I was responsible for both the infrastructure (AWS with Kubernetes), as well as the roadmap to ensure that AltSchool met its long-term scaling goals. As with any scaling challenge, managing complexity was easily the hardest part. There were many competing priorities, requiring tradeoffs and careful.

As a Staff Engineer at AltSchool, I continued to work in very cross-functional manner, switching between Infrastructure, Product, and even DevOps-ish engineering roles. Over time, this became more focused on the Infrastructure side of things, due to my continued interest in Kubernetes, in particular. I worked closely with a small team of other engineers to.

As a Senior Engineer at AltSchool, I began to take on some of the more gritty problems in our tech stack. These generally revolved around testing, performance, build tooling, and occasional forays into infrastructure. Taking on these tasks allowed me to build an even deeper understanding of the tools we use on a daily basis. Whether it was chasing memory.

Though hired on as a Frontend Engineer, my first role at AltSchool was closer to that of a Full Stack Engineer. I quickly adopted the technologies in the stack (Ember and Django), despite having no prior experience with them. During this time, I was the lead engineer on designing and building the parent-facing tuition tools. This featured a Stripe.

Handled all analysis of machine performance for the QA department. By leveraging the raw data submitted by maintenance engineers in the field, I was able to help set the priorities (primarily) for the hardware side of the QA department. I managed the entire data analytics process, from data collection, to data storage, to reporting. By importing the data.
