Ensconced firmly back in my comfort zone.

Seattle, Washington, Us

Stepped WAY outside my comfort zone with the intent to bring a shift-left approach to privacy in a similar manner to how many companies treat security.

Seattle, Washington, Us

Tried very very hard to bridge the gap between engineering and operations. Somewhat succeeded sometimes. Sometimes managed only to upset everyone while having only the best of intentions. The sooner you get people working together, the fewer fingers get pointed in blame. This number will approach, but shall never reach, zero.

Because you can't justify a pay raise without a title increase!

Seattle, Washington, Us

Pretty much the same stuff, with more recognition of the level of knowledge and preparation I'm bringing to the table. Plus I have unofficial minions.

EJBCA/PKI/TLS/SSL, SELinux, Okta/SAML integration left and right, OpenVPN, tons of AWS with a lot of CloudFormation, a bit of Python.

Managed to convince an entire company that I'm a competent software engineer by managing a team of 5 awesome people who actually _are_ competent software engineers. This is not humility, nor a joke. I cannot code my way out of a cardboard box.In the dark of night, through shadows and back alleys, I kept our teams services available to those who required them. Through thick and thin, power outages and disk failures, our applications prevailed, making the company a better place.

Oakland, California, Us

Maintained a handful of custom built services for application deployments, metrics gathering, monitoring, notification, and some commercial ones for collaboration.

Putzed around in EC2 long enough to learn the layout of things, did my best to encourage automation. Put in some architecture layout to promote easier scaling of the application.Also managed all of the helpdesk tasks. Was a small shop and we wore as many hats as we possibly could. All at once. Giant leaning tower of hats. Put the fedora on top.

Much learning:automation is my friendhuman input is the enemyforethought can prevent many problemsyou're never as clever as a highly trained idiot

Oakland, California, Us

Acquired vast amounts of sass, sarcasm, cynicism. Moderate amounts of talent and experience, and a hatred for notification systems that would drive me to rethink everything around deployments, notifications, and how people interact with software.

Oakland, California, Us

Replaced broken and expensive things with cheap and functional ones. Documented, trained, and did my best to make everyone in the company more self sufficient.If the fix takes less time to implement than it did to write the helpdesk ticket, you should never have had to write it in the first place.
