Architected infrastructure for Compass title and escrow entity with strict compliance requirements. Created Kubernetes clusters, set up networking components, Redis cache, and separate observability platform. Added support for Kafka and self-service deployment by engineers.Led cost-cutting and deprecation initiative in pre-production environments. Deprecated beta environment to actualize $100k/yr in savings and increase developer velocity.Moved our Kubernetes networking components (Nginx, Istio/Envoy, and VPC infrastructure) into Terraform Infra-as-Code.Reduced yearly infrastructure cost by 10%, implementing more efficient autoscaling, application right-sizing and development cluster spindown.Participated in on-call rotation, debugging addon incompatibility, stale certificates, missing metrics and serving as incident commander on 20+ incidents, including platform outages. Wrote incident and support runbooks for the team.Migrated and updated 38 Kubernetes clusters with zero-downtime, creating tools to optimize EC2 node rotation and reduce error-rates.Migrated all 20 CDN distributions to Terraform and developed an extensible module with security best-practices in mind.

• Used React Context to build a modular frontend and access global state between deeply nested form/prototyping components.• Employed React effect hooks and RESTful endpoints to send and update comprehensive, user-prototyped object-type data to the API-generating algorithm and standardize component logic. • Rendered D3 force-directed schema representation to make use of features like drag and link based on user interaction. • Built a mock GraphQL server with Node and express-graphql to automatically write and test generated schema code on both a NoSQL (with mongoose) and SQL database (with pg-node).• Designed interactive code editor with Codemirror, utilizing auto-formatting and highlighting for Javascript to display generated code in a user-friendly way.• Leveraged React Router’s client-side rendering to minimize server renders, increase application speed, and set-up separate routes for the prototyping and landing pages. • Implemented TDD with Jest and Enzyme, utilizing both shallow and mounted tests to automate unit testing of decoupled components with controlled inputs and expected outputs.• Ran unit tests with Supertest to monitor health of endpoints and ensure consistent/expected responses returned to frontend.• Dockerized application with Docker CLI and the Docker Daemon build to maintain a consistent runtime environment across Linux OS and dependency versions during the build process. • Product developed under tech accelerator OS Labs.

• Utilized React’s component architecture to dynamically render search results with reusable logic . • Constructed an Express backend to interface with an external API and implement functionality across decoupled routes.• Implemented a relational database to extract cross-table user information information with JOIN, with the ability to update or delete user preferences.

• Utilized vanilla JS DOM manipulation and ES6+ (async/await, Promises) to visualize bubble, selection, insertion, and merge sort algorithms with dynamic bar graph and adjustable speed. • Leveraged Bootstrap’s pre-built classes to style application to be consistent and responsive across desktop/mobile platforms.

• Used Python to design and teach computer science curriculum with core principles (iteratives and conditional statements), utilizing its interactive visualization libraries like turtle and high-level syntax to clarify difficult concepts.
