Abridge was an interesting change of scenery for me. Instead of AWS, this was the first company I've worked for that used GCP, as well as the first company that ran workloads on GPUs.As is custom for a platform team, my team was responsible for maintaining the infrastructure that the services ran on. This included the GKE clusters, the VPCs, Cloud SQL instances, etc... We were also responsible for anything related to IaC. While at Abridge, I designed and implemented the CD pipeline for Terraform using Terragrunt and Atlantis. I continued down the path of codifying everything by codified existing ArgoCD applications that were manually deployed, then implemented Flux as an alternative to ArgoCD, including bootstrapping Flux via Terraform. I also created a system to automatically back up GCP Healthcare Datasets using Cloud Functions and Cloud Scheduler using JavaScript and the GCP APIs.

This role was very similar to my role at Terminus. I was able to use a lot of the knowledge I gained at Terminus to quickly implement a few solutions. Such as using Github Actions for planning and applying Terraform configurations, and using a service mesh and an ingress gateway in the Kubernetes clusters. I was also able to solve a few other issues in better ways, such as not using Terraform's Helm provider to deploy to Kubernetes, but instead using a GitOps tool called Flux.In addition to the infrastructure work, I was also a member of the Architecture Review Board, where I helped architect and develop a call routing solution using AWS EventBridge and Step Functions.

As an SRE at Terminus, I was responsible for not only guiding teams on defining SLIs and SLOs, but alsomaintaining infrastructure, and creating CI/CD pipelines. As a Tech Lead, I was responsible for defining bestpractices and patterns for applications running on our infrastructure.My team worked closely with other engineering teams to create Terraform modules that would not only instantiate the requisite cloud resources, but also create DataDog dashboards for monitoring and alerting on those resources should they risk running out of error budget. We also created supporting services, such as a saga coordinator, for other teams to use to better coordinate workloads between disparate services.We were also responsible for maintaining the infrastructure on which everything ran, including the EKS clusters, IAM accounts, SSO integrations, etc...

I worked with several teams at Digital Envoy to modernize their CI/CD pipelines, and transition from an on-premise data center to AWS. I was involved in re-architecting solutions that relied on fragile polling mechanisms, and converting them to more a robust pub/sub architecture. This helped improve overall latency of systems as the number of synchronous API calls was drastically reduced.In addition to this, I introduced Terraform and Ansible as means of provisioning EC2 instances in their AWS accounts. Creating a means of easily reproducing VMs was a major paradigm shift as their previous on-premise machines were non reproducible, and great care had to be taken to ensure their survival.

I returned to the same DevOps team that I worked with previously. My team has become part of a global organization focused on moving Sage towards a DevOps culture by providing automation for as many parts of the SDLC as possible. This includes implementing a continuous delivery and continuous integration pipeline, as well as using Ansible to automate the provisioning of servers hosted in AWS. My role within the team consists of using CloudFormation templates in conjunction with Ansible playbooks to instantiate infrastructure for new products, both internal and external, as well as provide support to developers with regards to troubleshooting applications, recommending AWS services for use with applications, and maintaining existing application infrastructure as the applications scale. I also respond to incidents in the production environments to ensure the highest level of uptime for each application.

While at Vonage, I worked with a small team to create tools and processes to automate tasks and promote best practice as defined by the company. Using Puppet, we ensured all of our servers were running in a very predictable fashion that was easy to troubleshoot should issues arise. Using Vagrant VMs as a proof of concept model, I helped my team transition from a masterless distributed Puppet workflow to a masterful Puppet workflow that eased maintenance cost of both the puppet infrastructure and individual servers. I also wrote tests for the in house Puppet modules using serverspec and beaker.

I work on a team that not only hosts the products offered by Sage Software, but creates the infrastructure and tooling with to ensure the quality of our products and maintain a 99.9% uptime. Using Ansible and CloudFormation as our configuration management tool, we are able to deploy both infrastructure and servers in AWS in a similar fashion. I transitioned from Software Engineer to DevOps Engineer due to my work on creating the development and testing environment for my development team, and by working closely with the DevOps team to ensure that all our needs for hosting our product were met. Since joining the DevOps team, I have successfully launched five new products, personally created the infrastructure for three of those products using AWS CloudFormation, and participated in change reviews to ensure the highest level of quality for hosting, as well as meet our SLAs.

As an associate software engineer, I assisted in developing a new SaaS offering from Sage Software. I worked in an agile environment to deliver high quality code in a timely manner. In addition to my responsibilities as a software engineer I also created and maintained a development and test environment, using Vagrant and VirtualBox, for my team to use locally.

Morrow, Ga, Us

As a tutor I helped students attain their academic goals in their computer science classes by reinforcing the lessons they learned during class periods. I often gave lectures regarding pointer management and recursion in C and C++, as well as lectures on normal forms for databases. I also held a weekly workshop for creating simple circuits using logic gates.

I worked as an intern for Dr. Byron Jeff to design and implement a Forth interpreter for the Microchip brand PIC 16F series micro-controllers. I also worked as a computer lab assistant for the Computer Organization and Architecture class.

Duluth, Ga, Us

As a courier I was responsible for pulling parts to fulfill orders and deliver those parts to customers in a timely manner. I established rapport with customers by creating scheduled deliveries. I maintained working knowledge of customer inventory to ensure that the parts delivered were correct, and I ensured customer satisfaction by providing delivery status updates.

Thomasville, North Carolina, Us

As a team lead I trained new employees on proper loading and unloading procedures and safety protocol. I was responsible for distributing the workload to the dock workers. I helped maximize work efficiency by coordinating the placement of trailers across the work dock.

I was responsible for the manufacture of seals and gaskets using a computer numerically controlled lathe. I distributed the workload across three lathes and ensured the quality of parts manufactured. I would often work with customers to aid in the design of prototype seals and gaskets.
