- championed organizational observability standards by providing templates and example dashboards that empowered developer teams to establish and iterate on their reliability goals, as well as running onboarding sessions to acclimate new engineers to our observability ecosystem. - stablilized and matured Patreon logging infrastructure across a fleet of ansible, spinnaker, and k8s managed services.

Relevant technologies: Chef, Terraform, Linux, GCP, Kafka, Graphite, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Bazel, Docker- Maintained and modernized the streaming data platforms that provide Etsy product engineers with the high quality, real-time observability data they rely on for critical alerting and during deploys. - Fully migrated all such systems to GCP from on-prem infrastructure without disrupting any of the critical downstream developer services - Personally drove onboarding initatives centered around distributed tracing, which included major optimizations to existing instrumentation and extensive comms including talks, pair programming, group tutorials, and blog posts.

Relevant technologies: PHP, REST API design, Hadoop/Scalding, jQuery, React/Redux, feature flagging, AB tests- Full stack web development with a focus on localization, translation, and other linguistic problem spaces like query suggestion and spelling correction. - Collaborated with product managers and designers on mission-critical UIs including the home page, core checkout flow, and search page. Implemented monitoring and alerting to ensure continued stability of these features.

- Contributed to the development of key under-the-hood tooling that enabled Etsy’s human translated site content to be entered, approved, and edited while remaining decoupled from the production deploy process- Worked on another deploy adjacent process that allowed Etsy to retain their existing deployment workflows while being able to provide documented evidence of SOX compliance.
