// Codebase Improvements- Reorganized monolithic repository of co-dependent disparate code into targeted, namespaced packages and libraries- standardized static analysis and appsec scanning for all packages- standardized testing and development workflow// Architectural Design- advise and support our Chief Architect as we reimagine the product and process at scale- designed and presented a Gen 2 or 'Northstar' architecture via Kafka streams and connect- proposed normalized dataflow pipelines to replace monolithic recon processing// Scaling- analyzed existing metrics and trends, improve observability and alerting- rewrote and continuously tuning uWSGI configuration for all services- balanced worker management with K8s autoscaling- extensive decoupling and dependency inversion // API Gateway- rewrote and upgraded the KrakenD based API Gateway- implemented service to service authentication as a custom request modifier plugin written in Go- advocated for and implemented http caching to accelerate front-end interactions and alleviate DB pressure // DB Pooling and Sessions- analyzed and profiled db performance and resource usage across services- tested and implemented multiple pooling options, including nullpool and staticpool- standardized and implemented request scoped sessions// CI/CD- standardized testing and parallelized monorepo runs, reducing time from 45m to ~4mins across 25 services- modularized via custom GitHub actions, including aggressive caching to further improve performance- Automatic linting and code formatting- Build and publish for python packages and docker images

I design and implement Python APIs and supporting infrastructure within GCP utilizing GKE, CloudSQL (PostgreSQL/SQLAlchemy Modeled), Cloud PubSub, Cloud Functions, Firebase, Cloud Identity and IAM.

I designed and implemented Python REST APIs, including AsyncIO based concurrent and managed and optimized high volume high traffic services and applications. This role was devops heavy, I worked with apache and fastcgi on centos linux to shore up performance bottlenecks and optimize for the environment and use case. I also led the effort to migrate our CMS from corporate datacenters to AWS. Individual libaries needed to be updated or otherwise manually altered to support Amazon Linux.
