Shujinko is a software as a service (SaaS) that simplifies, automates and modernizes IT audit preparation and readiness for enterprises. The Shujinko platform streamlines the complex, manual and costly process required for companies to successfully prepare for and pass compliance audits.Led team of DevOps & backend software engineers⇢ Partnered with product and leadership to develop, prioritize and deliver features and projects⇢ Agile planning, mentoring & code reviewsArchitecture⇢ Built the foundation for the newly formed company's infrastructure and SDLC with security best practices⇢ Responsible for development & lifecycle of cloud infrastructure, backend systems (microservices), continuous integration & delivery (CI/CD), and the overall health of the Shujinko platformSample of Projects⇢ CICD⇢⇢ Achieved fully automated deployment pipelines for both application and infrastructure from non-production to production through the development of a custom and extensible framework that could be centrally maintained and implemented across hundreds of GitHub repositories using tools like: Mage, Make, Golang, Bash, Terraform & CircleCI⇢ Infrastructure & Security as Code⇢⇢ Helped customers implement security best practices in their public cloud by developing a library of hundreds of custom Terraform modules (also used internally) that can easily be deployed through the Shujinko product⇢ GitOps⇢⇢ Improved development efficiency & collaboration with self-service GitOps model allowing engineers & employees to deploy resources at will and in some cases with gated approvals including everything from s3 buckets to GitHub repositories⇢ Event Driven Architecture⇢⇢ Collaborated on the design and implementation of the most sought out product at Shujinko. The product was able to achieve high efficiency and scale by using an event-driven (Lambda, SQS, etc.) backend system used to retrieve customer data from third-party APIs (IaaS, SaaS, etc.)

Co-led a team of DevOps & software engineers to implement containerized microservices platform⇢ Engineered highly resilient, repeatable, and secure cloud infrastructure written in a declarative model to achieve infrastructure as code at scale that could be easily adopted by software development teams⇢⇢ AWS, Terraform, Kubernetes, Vault, Ansible, Concourse (CI/CD)⇢ Launched a global rewards program on the platform that handled millions of transactions a day and went on to host many more services for internal teams across the company
