Responsibilities enveloped managing robust data pipelines and ensuring the quality and reliability of systems and products in AWS Environments, crafting comprehensive proposals that steered product development and system design for clients and in house products. My endeavors were deeply rooted in the mission to conceptualize, develop, and implement secure and efficient software solutions, with a steady eye on reliability and stellar user experience throughout all projects. This role has been a confluence of technology, strategy, and impact, ensuring every developed solution was not only a product but a benchmark of quality and reliability in AWS-optimized technology solutions.

Leading initiatives and collaborating with software development teams, I focused on optimizing platforms and products to leverage AWS cloud offerings enhancing stability, improving video streaming platform uptime from ~98% to 99.9%. I established cloud standards, crafted security and infrastructure modules with Terraform, and spearheaded security audits and remediations across AWS accounts and codebases. In addition to leading teams through diverse initiatives, I actively contributed to maintaining and refining internal build, deploy, and monitoring systems to enhance developer autonomy and deployment efficacy.

As a key member of the central DevOps team, I supported the transition from traditional deployment strategies to cloud-based & SaaS offerings in a healthcare software setting. I designed and maintained cloud deployments to AWS using IaC with Terraform and AWS SDK scripting. My role included executing GitOps-focused CI/CD pipelines, designing AWS cloud systems with a focus on high availability, and ensuring system security using AWS tools. I have also been actively involved in load testing, performance tuning, and monitoring cloud-based microservices across various technologies.

In an Agile/Scrum environment, I have championed the creation and maintenance of automated functional and performance tests for web-based UI and microservice-style APIs. As a technical lead guiding 12 QA members, we ensured >90% in sprint test case automation for a new company product, utilizing Selenium/Protractor. I automated reporting on test suite results by leveraging project management platform APIs, slashing feedback time on project health from hours to mere minutes. Notably, I developed an API testing framework for in-house microservices, which integrated with UI automation for data-driven testing. This not only supplanted a 3rd party product but also yielded an annual saving of $40,000 in licensing. My role also encompassed building and maintaining Jenkins pipeline projects to conduct smoke testing upon source control check-ins and oversee nightly end-to-end automation runs.
