• Hired and built-out our “DevOps Team” to facilitate automating the process of deploying legacy and “green-field” applications • Managed projects to move completely to an “Infrastructure as Code” model for all new server deployments and all container cluster VM deployments and upgrades. Implemented the “cattle” model of managing patches across the VM ecosystem • Developed, maintained and enforced standards around the company’s SDLC for internally developed applications • Automated static application security testing (SAST), dynamic application security testing (DAST), interactive application security testing (IAST) across 600+ projects in our application inventory • Designed and facilitated the migration of many of our applications from Docker Swarm to Kubernetes in order to support modern scaling, DR (disaster recovery), and HA (high availability) requirements • Expanded our “container footprint” from 3 clusters to 8 clusters and aided with migrating the tooling and CI/CD processes supporting our pipelines to support the new clusters and environments • Aided in reducing deployment times from 7-10 days to 1-10 minutes across all “legacy” projects

Franklin, Tn, Us

• Hired and manage FAMC's DevOps team to simplify and standardize the way we develop and deliver software• Migration of services from Traefik to Interlock 2.0 and from Docker swarm to Kubernetes (Docker EE 2.0 distro)• Deployment, management, monitoring and maintenance of our Docker Enterprise Edition (Docker EE) clusters, running dozens of stacks, hundreds of services, and thousands of containers. • Deployment, management, monitoring and maintenance of our Docker EE Universal Control Plane (UCP) instances, Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) instances, GitLab Enterprise instances. • Designed, developed and consistently maintain a highly customized continuous delivery platform to facilitate easy pipeline management, user-sandboxes, environment cloning, and much more. All backend work developed using Golang 1.9.x and frontend work developed using Angular 4 and TypeScript. Integrations to-date include UCP, DTR, GitLab, ElasticSearch, Instana, Rqlite, Slack, and Notary. • Facilitated and helped manage migration of Docker EE swarm storage engine from NetApp OnTap (NFS-based storage) to both Solidfire and Pure Storage providers for block-level volume management • Stood up ELK (Elasticsearch, Kibana and Logstash) 5.x clusters (and later migrated to 6.x) monitoring and log aggregation stacks using Elastic.co’s open source versions of Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana. Utilized other open technologies including Logspout, Filebeat, Graphana, and Curator to facilitate and automate swarm-level service/application/performance monitoring • Implemented cluster-wide, application-agnostic monitoring (both “host-level” and application level) using Instana and our ELK monitoring stack • Responsible for educating, training and supporting other internal development teams to move to our Docker-based software delivery platform using documentation, hands-on training, and one-on-one sessions.

• Major projects in the API development space included implementing the OData V4 specification across all API endpoints, migrating from proprietary authentication to a centralized SSO authentication provider, reducing file upload overhead by 400%, and applying appropriate modifications to the platform to facilitate easy and seamless scaling using Amazon’s Elastic Container Service (ECS). • Responsible for further development and refinement of development standards and processes, focused specifically around software development lifecycle (SDLC) and coding standards, AWS asset standards, streamlining of communication across teams, and processes supporting the software development lifecycle. • Responsible for all AWS Infrastructure and re-architected all Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) (16 total across two AWS accounts) for high-availability and disaster recovery readiness. • Responsible for auditing, reporting, and compliance (SOC2/SSAE-18) across all SASS products used internally. Coordinated with auditors, vendors, current clients and potential clients to ensure all security and compliance concerns were addressed, documented, and where necessary, remediation in a quick and timely fashion. • Ported a 35+ year old FORTRAN based application to a AWS-based AMI allowing for one-click deployment of a banking system core that would have previously taken 8+ weeks with multiple teams involved
