- Completely rebuilt a client facing applications infrastructure. Migrated the platform from EC2 to Fargate. Created a new CICD pipeline using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, and CodeDeploy. Enabled the pipeline to perform cross-account deployments for a seamless transition from Stage to Production.- Manage and maintain multiple Jenkins infrastructure, perform updates, and troubleshoot issues that come up with projects- Decommissioned PCI Jenkins infrastructure to remove complexity and improve security by moving the jobs to the AWS CodeSuite- Maintain our Google relationship by being the point of contact for our account team, escalate P0 issues up the support chain, bring in Google team share knowledge during “lunch and learns, and work with the GCP team and our engineers to plan large projects.- Analyze our Google Cloud Platform account spend by keeping track of the costs and forecast future spending costs.- Produce monthly spending reports to leadership which helps analyze costs across the business.- Construct and update dashboards by utilizing imported datasets from BigQuery, presented through ChartIO.- Designed, planned, executed a complete revamp of their local development environment. Moved developers from using rake to build inconsistent mock environments to a Docker Compose architecture. Doing this provided up to date code with a consistent state for their local development environments- Modernized management of their GCP platform from an unmanaged UI process to infrastructure as code. Process is in change control and has version history. This was done by utilizing Terraform. - Worked with a team to migrate Spinnaker from an unmanaged and over provisioned Kubernetes Infrastructure to a Terraform managed, scalable Kubernetes infrastructure.- Troubleshoot complex issues with Spinnaker components such as Redis and the UI

• Architected and designed a new infrastructure deployment strategy to was based on a software development lifecycle. This process was screened and approved by an Architectural Review Board • Generated new CentOS 7 templates by using Packer that was built a base image for Prosper, which was configured and hardened using Ansible as a local-exec. • Utilizing Packer, I was able to institute a process to update base images regularly which is screened and passed by InfoSec• Created a process that easily cloned Packer images into environment and application specific servers using Terraform as the builder and Ansible as the configuration management and application deployment tool.• In order to create autonomous server deployments, I moved the business to utilize DHCP• Changed the culture to write all server applications in code to create an Infrastructure as Code movement. Used Ansible to deploy and configure applications through Ansible Galaxy or custom made Ansible roles• Planned and executed build outs for 2 new environments: UAT and Staging• Successfully decreased the amount of on-call pages to the team by 80%. I did this by tuning current alerts, migrating alerts we did not have an action for to the correct teams, and removed old noise alerts.• Currently architecting and designing a new container management process that utilizes Kubernetes as our container orchestration tool.• Organized meetings with vendors to analyze and review their offerings and created a plan for which offering I thought was best for Prosper• Setup POC of Kubernetes open source for initial testing and updated our current Ansible code to build in Kubernetes using kubectl• Working on turn key server deployment process to simplify Terraform launches to be operated in Jenkins
