Head Of Devops | Principal Software Architect
Sherman Oaks, California, Us
Using Terraform and AWS, I architected and managed the development of all infrastructure across several AWS accounts and our Jenkins-based continuous delivery pipelines for all of our services including monoliths, several micro-services, lambdas and more. I led the design and implementation of tools for Engineers to quickly create and deploy services using only Slack and GitHub, allowing them to focus on product development. I defined additional policies and procedures to continue to streamline Engineering architecture as the company scales, including documentation, an RFC process and risk management.In addition to my Principal Software Architect role, I assumed an interim role of Head of DevOps. In this role, I've outline the career path strategy for DevOps Engineers and defined and documented the processes for agile ceremonies as well as for evaluating and hiring DevOps Engineer candidates. As DevOps leadership, I scaled the DevOps team to support more than a dozen Engineering teams and following a DevOps strategy, worked to orchestrate a shift left to facilitate continuous improvements in deploying, monitoring, debugging and maintaining services across all Engineering teams and more than 20 AWS cloud environments. I also planned and executed the expansion of the infrastructure into EMEA.Having scaled the DevOps team and laid the foundation for its continued growth, I promoted a manager from within the team and resumed my full time role as Principal Software Architect with the focus on ensuring that our architecture scales alongside the company's continued growth and success.
