At Alteryx, I was responsible for the high-impact and visibility project of designing and leading the development of the core data processing engine for the Alteryx Analytics Cloud, reporting directly to an Engineering VP. I started on the ground floor of this initiative, needing to do a lot of R&D to figure out how to make the core engine from our Desktop Product engine run and scale cost-effectively in the cloud. Once a direction was chosen, I worked to make the project less ambiguous and able to be broken down into work that multiple teams could work on. Following that, I did self-guided work to identify and shore up shortcomings in our new cloud platform. I also worked with our Security Team to resolve FIPS compliance, password rotation, and secure service-to-service communication requirements. Toward the end of my time at Alteryx, I worked to integrate an acquisition into the company.I was also part of the Engineering Leadership group at Alteryx, which involved defining and implementing various standards, large migration efforts, designing and providing feedback on large engineering efforts, and coaching/mentoring/influencing 200+ engineers globally.Keywords: Kubernetes, Go, Docker, AWS, EKS, Linkerd, Jaeger, Open Telemetry, Java, Gradle, ArgoCD, Jenkins, Teleport, GitLab, Agile, Microservices

As part of Signalframe, I contributed to developing an ML/AI platform that streams and organizes wireless signals worldwide. My primary responsibilities included designing and implementing software-based infrastructure. Specifically, I led the design and migration of company products to Kubernetes and mentored junior team members. Our long-term objectives encompassed automating platform management through technologies like Kubernetes Operators, ML/AI, and more.Keywords: Kubernetes, Go, Kafka, Cassandra, Cockroachdb, Terraform, Kops, git, Debian, GNU Make, Zookeeper, AWS, Helm, Docker, gRPC, Kubernetes Operators, Dockerhub, ECR, TICK Stack, Datadog, Telegraf Agent, Machine Learning, ML, AI, Artificial Intelligence
