As a Sr DevOps engineer I participated in designing and building automatization for cloud infrastructure (Azure) using Azure DevOps and Terraform.Designed and build more automated CI/CD pipeline to automate the release of code alongside infrastructure configuration changes. From 06/01/2020 to 11/25/2020

Engineering Manager (8/2019 – 4/2020) Managed an infrastructure engineering team of 8 to design and build new technologies. Ensured engineering resources were available for all projects through close contact with the PMO. Provided high- and low-level design and architecture for HCI (vSAN and Nutanix) projects. ● Reduced deployment time of virtual infrastructure from days to hours by building automation designed with Ansible, Terraform, and Canonical MaaS. ● Streamlined provisioning time of storage in production and development by designing and implementing storage solutions with NetApp and vSAN.● Designed solutions to have S3 storage accessible via API for all development groups. ● Created self-healing infrastructure by designing event-driven architecture using Ansible and Zabix. ● Pioneered use of software-defined networking with NSX.

Promoted to Lead Engineer to pioneer a DevOps team in infrastructure engineering. ● Hired and managed five site reliability engineers focused DevOps on both development and systems engineering teams simultaneously. ● Improved communication between Teams by creating a positive feedback loop, leading toward changes in code before being released into production. ● Built and deployed CI/CD pipeline for code base using Azure DevOps.● Achieved visibility of code release and code impact in the pipeline resulting in reduction of frequency of code rollback in production. ● Implementation of Dynatrace and Elasticsearch enabled higher visibility into our development and production environments resulting in a proactive response to issues and drastic reduction of code based downtime in 2018.

Senior Engineering resource in the platform engineering team focused on virtualization. ● Designed and implemented the first ever hyper- converged/shared storage environment using vSAN for production workloads of U-Haul’s Point of Sale systems. ● Achieved “the 5 nines” of virtual infrastructure in production during U-Haul’s high utilization season leading to saving millions of dollars YoY. ● Created standards and templates for the virtual infrastructure, reducing time to deployment of hosts and virtual machines from days to hours. ● Implemented and standardized the updates and patching schedule reducing maintenance windows for critical virtual infrastructure.
