- Integrated Kafka-based data streams and Spark to convert product catalog ingestion from daily updates to near-realtime availability. - Architected and implemented an AI based vector search solution for improving relevancy of product searches- Integrated full stack systems with a React-based frontend, Node-based middleware, and Java Spring boot microservices to interact with PostgresSQL and Elasticsearch data stores to surface relevant products from keyword searches to customers.- Updated the legacy product ingestion pipelines to an Argo-based workflow that utilizes horizontal scaling across Kubernetes to update millions of products in an Elasticsearch datastore, enabling this ingest to run faster with less cloud resource cost.

- Built software delivery pipeline framework utilizing Jenkins, shared pipeline code in Groovy, configuration as code, and Argo Rollouts to improve software release cadence from a biweekly highly-coordinated release cycle to a continuous deployment model utilizing automated testing and canary releases to minimize risk.- Consolidated a multitude of different software delivery pipelines and cloud frameworks into Jenkins & Kubernetes based platform that enabled self-healing and self-scaling architecture to improve stability and drive down fractured cloud resource costs.- Integrated Datadog monitoring/alerting, along with Xmatters integration, to enable fast incident response to customer-impacting incidents, reducing lost revenue opportunities as well as driving improved product reputation- Collaborated with directors, architects, and team leads to evolve software delivery practices to improve software delivery speed while still keeping software reliable and secure

- Integrated mobile payment API/SDKs with backend systems for mobile application subscriptions- Integrated CI/CD processes with .NET Framework backend applications- Developed cloud agnostic microservices with both REST and message-queue integrations (Rabbit/Kafka)- Experience connecting physical hardware solutions with cloud-based services (Azure)- Integrated backend services with MongoDB datastores.

- Extended Jenkins shared libaries and Groovy scripts to enable application developers to utilize Continuous Integration/Continuous Development/Deployment practices to deliver software features at a rapid pace.- Led an initiative to gather data metrics on Jenkins pipelines to find bottlenecks and areas for improvement using scientific method for feature development.- Supported software engineers on an on-call basis with troubleshooting pipeline issues, as well as providing guidance for customized CI/CD solutions based on business needs, through both Slack and in-person/office hours.- Developed dashboards for displaying metrics around CI/CD pipelines at different levels (portfolio, team, application) using both Kibana/Elasticsearch solutions as well as a custom React UI, working on all levels from Elasticsearch data store integration, Java-based backend microservice development, and Node-based React UIs utilizing Charts.js.- Provided mentorship & leadership to fellow team members, as well as engineers of other teams in the realm of CI/CD.- Collaborated with other Expedia/Homeaway engineers in the realm of Platform (Java/Javascript) and CI/CD (Jenkins, Mesosphere, Datadog)- Contributed to architectural discussions & decisions across the company during weekly meetings.

- Full-stack engineering utilizing multiple languages and frameworks (Java, Scala, Javascript, HTML, Spring Boot, Akka, Play, Angular)- Integrated multiple communications methodologies - REST, Thrift, and message queuing systems such as RabbitMQ and Kafka streams- Modernized monolithic legacy applications to use microservice architecture, enabling developers to enable continuous integration/deployment methodologies- Extended platform and tools to empower developers to quickly deliver features and bug fixes with a balance of speed and reliability using self-healing scalable architectures like Mesos/Marathon, and monitoring solutions such as New Relic, Datadog, and Kibana.- Integrated multiple data store technologies in backend applications - PostgresSQL, MongoDB, and Elasticsearch
