Technical lead on Platform Infrastructure team, supporting a range of engineers and other teams. I spend time thinking deeply, to solve intractable problems around automation at any scale.I provide expertise in utilizing a wide range of technologies, predominantly, in no particular order: AWS / GCP / terraform / ansible / linux / jetty / nginx / haproxy / postgres / mongodb / bigquery / redis / nodejs / scylladb / apache superset / hadoop / spark / memcached / consul / kubernetes / GKE / helm / flux / argocd / atlantis / docker / podman.I build and maintain the tools (written in shell, ruby, and python) around automation and deployment that allow True Fit to expand to meet any need. I also architect, write, and maintain all approaches to infrastructure as code, and serve as a general purpose "whatever"Ops as needed.
