Built validation service for internally hosted SSL certificates, reducing time to detect invalid certificates from 5 minutes after deployment to detecting before deploymentArchitected in a team of 6 engineers an SSL certificate expiration monitor hosted on Kubernetes serving to Prometheus, reducing CPU load of that monitoring by 90%Maintained, rotated, or otherwise upgraded various parts of production core infrastructure including AWS RDS DBs, Kafka broker certificates, and other internal tooling Participated in a 24h/7d on-call rotation every 4 weeks

Tutored students in general C++ programming and algorithms for CS 225. Assisted TAs and professors in running lab sections.

Created monitoring software that is in use every time a 911 call is handled by AT&T in many parts of the US.Used Kubernetes, Jenkins, Git and Docker to develop a complete and secure "push to deploy" CI/CD pipeline in an air gapped AT&T ITN lab on Windows Server 2019 and Harvester/k3os from the ground up. Experimented with cutting edge technology such as bare metal Harvester deployments for easy utilization of K8s cluster management tools like Rancher. Used Java, Groovy, and SQL to build on prior projects and create a "modifiable from anywhere" monitoring application for internal metrics.Worked with TLS v1.3 creating and requesting SAN certificates to serve HTTPS. Worked with security experts to create secure internal applications.Created applications using scrum development techniques, working with senior engineers to problem overcome complex dev hurdles in highly specialized and unique software environments.Worked on Ubuntu, Windows and K3os to deploy an internal containerized monitoring application being used around the United States.Discussed future plans for AT&T technology with engineers of potential software vendors.Prepared presentations to showcase progress and considerations for internal future project plans using software like Visio and PowerPoint.Read through low level technical documentation and created project write ups to meet given project requirements.Worked for AT&T via KForce.
