Justin Ly Email & Phone Number

Acqui-hired from Shopify retaining responsibilities for platform/infrastructure, DevOps, developer acceleration projects, and on-call rotation.Innovated a systematic approach to handle dependencies and type interfaces during client migrations from a monolithic repository to microservices, expediting client development timelines by 30% and mitigating conflicts arising from intertwined dependencies.Established and defended end-to-end package management best practices, rooted in semantic versioning. Created CircleCI CI/CD workflows, Shell scripts, and technical presentations boosting developer efficiency by 40% through streamlined package publishing protocols.Contributed to a cost-saving search engine with OpenSearch by developing a document ingestion service using TypeScript, AWS, and Serverless. Reduced computational complexity of key algorithms and enabled automated testing and observability. Service is projected to save $500,000 annually.Collaborated on replacing local development tooling through task automation in TypeScript/Bash, focused on environment setup, package installation, containers, and Git operations. Achieved organizational adoption within two weeks and an 80% reduction in time spent on local development setup.Transferred Shopify Logistics customer-facing sites to Flexport domains using infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and elastic load balancers for redirects, ensuring a zero downtime migration and decreasing DNS technical debt.

Remote

Worked within the Shopify Logistics division supporting the integration between Shopify Core platform/infrastructure and Shopify Logistics services.Spearheaded a package hosting migration initiative, implementing a package synchronization app with Ruby on Rails. Achieved a seamless transition to a new hosting platform, improving package security and discoverability with minimal developer intervention.Engineered a custom health-check cron metric within Maxwell Change Data Capture (CDC) containers, leveraging Datadog and DogStatsD, slashing mean time to recovery (MTTR) from one day to one minute, bolstering service reliability and availability.Pioneered the migration to Datadog, creating a migration guide, communicating best log management practices, and monitoring by writing technical documentation. Resulted in Cloud cost savings and raised observability standards by setting minimum requirements.Acquired strong proficiency in AWS Cloud technologies—including EB, EC2, RDS, CloudWatch, Route53, Lambda, SQS, IAM, and API Gateway—through troubleshooting/debugging of complex Cloud infrastructure issues and deployment/release of applications to Cloud infrastructure.
