Created a serverless Azure infrastructure using terraform/terragrunt as our chief iac tool. Our architecture utilized Azure function apps, key vaults, API management, Mysql flexible servers and app configuration complete with feature toggles.​Championed Agile best practice and branching strategies while facilitating cross-functional collaboration which increased our release velocity from one prod deployment per month to one prod deployment per week.Audited application and infrastructure security by incorporating Sonarqube into our build and deployment pipelines and used its insights to achieve an 80% reduction in security vulnerabilities.Built end-to-end CI/CD pipelines for deployments to dev, qa, uat, and prod as well as a hotfix pipeline to quickly troubleshoot issues in a hotfix environment and deploy fixes to prod. All pipelines built utilize DevOps best practices including secret injection, environment agnostic artifacts, gates and approvals, and automated configuring of application settings during deployment.Contributed to large Azure Pipelines template library that we used to deploy our .NET and Python backends, our React frontends and our iOS, Android, and Shared KMM Library code. As part of these contributions I wrote many bash scripts to automate our build and deployment processes as well as coordinated-versioning for our mobile apps with our shared kmm library so that each release of iOS and Android were tied back to the version on the kmm code they were using.Maintained and managed database migrations that were backwards compatible at least one deployment back in time. Used iac to manage the creation and permissions for MySQL users as well as firewall rules. Utilized industry standard best practices to protect credentials.

Built-out a large-scale event-driven cloud architecture using terraform/terragrunt.​ Architected and implemented coordinated-versioning for our mobile apps using semverbot and bash so that each release of iOS and Android was traceable back to the version of the KMM code they were developed against. This allowed seamless coordination between iOS and Android teams and cutback on errors and wasted time spent to manually coordinate on versioning.Heavily utilized Cloudwatch Event Bus, ECS containers, Layer 3 and Layer 7 load-balancing, IAM, AWS Aurora, and other services to create an almost entirely serverless architecture to save on costs.As a workaround to developers with changing IP addresses being blocked by our MySql server’s firewall, I created a port-tunneling script that allowed developers to use a single whitelisted Azure VM with a stable IP address as a bastion host to connect to our MySql servers. This saved us several months of delay waiting for the client to deliver on a more permanent VPN solution.Created a streamlined automation process for the onboarding of new developers including automating the download of key software, setting up of git hooks, and containerizing the serverless application for local development using emulators.​Created all AWS infrastructure for a serverless application in terraform which was called using terragrunt to make terraform configuration more DRY. The infrastructure heavily leveraged serverless offerings including AWS API Gateway, Lambda, and Cognito.​Worked closely with Developers to build-out application integrations with the cloud and contributed considerably to the Lambda codebase.

Owned and automated a heterogeneous inter-cloud database migration from an AWS Postgres database to an Azure-hosted MsSql database in order to standardize the databases in use by the rest of the clients applications. Refactored Nodejs code that interfaced with AWS RDS using Knex.js and Objection.js to make it compatible with MsSql database. Wrote a recursive algorithm to regenerate the company hierarchy from weekly SAP data. Provisioned infrastructure for event-driven, serverless, and hybrid architectures with infrastructure as code tools including Terraform, ARM Templates, and Cloud Formation.Simplified the management of our infrastructure and pipelines by introducing Terragrunt as a tool to make our IAC more DRY, reducing the number of developers needed to manage and deploy our pipelines from 3 to 1 and reducing the amount of copy-and-paste in our IAC configurations for microservices by 5,000 lines of code. This in-turn freed up the other two engineers to increase velocity delivering on other user stories.Bridged the gap between client and QA team by automating the publishing of e2e test results run in ci/cd deployment pipelines to a shared Slack channel. Alerts in this channel would immediately alert developers of errors in new release candidates, preventing broken releases and decreasing the time it took to rectify test failures, and freeing up QA team time spent communicating directly with developers.Built CI/CD Pipelines using Github Actions and deployed serverless infrastructure using docker on GCPStreamlined the onboarding process of new developers to be 2x quicker by creating a consistent development environment. This setup included the containerization of local development, which also cut back on issues related to developer’s local software installations to near zero.Contributed to internal projects with the aim of building up a library of reusable ARM templates to deploy all types of services provided by Azure.
