■ Architected and deployed a fully GDPR compliant environment for our expansion to the EU■ Architected, deployed and rolled out a Slack approval based break-glass access process for engineers using Teleport that grants audit-able, expiring access to production systems when needed■ Key contributor to several improvements to our local developer environments including the creation of Syndioctl, our main, in-house CLI tool for all interactions with local development that enables the deployment of services across multiple repositories using either Docker Compose or Kubernetes and supports both host-local and remote k8s cluster build/deployment using an in house JSON spec■ Platform embed on the team responsible for re-architecting our main stats pipeline. I contributed to this effort mainly by evaluating of several workflow engine solutions including Argo Workflows, Airflow (Google Cloud Composer), Prefect, and Temporal. We eventually settled on Temporal and rolled it out to production■ Participated in an on-call rotation with other members of my team

■ Responsible for managing and maintaining all of Syndio's Terraform configuration which defines our many environments using infrastructure standards that comply with modern SOC-II Type II audits, quarterly pen-testing, and GDPR requirements■ Configured and deployed our Datadog monitoring stack to all backend applications and infrastructure using the Kubernetes agent■ Designed and built out several different development environments including our realms environment which features several ephemeral, multi-tenant, staging-like environments that are automatically scaled up or down in response to Google Calendar reservations using a in-house Kubernetes controller■ Implemented Syndio's Helm chart repository which automatically tests, lints, and pushes out versioned releases of our internal service charts to Codefresh that are used by our over 40 microservices and several asynchronous workers■ Participate in an on-call rotation with other members of my team

■ Kubernetes / Helm / ELK stack / Prometheus / GCP / GKE / API development / CI/CD and much more■ Most recent project work involved overhauling the Beatport content ingestion system and lifting/shifting it into the the world of containerization and Kubernetes, as well as large-scale infrastructure deployments over GCP and GKE for several major initiatives at Beatport.■ Daily infrastructure team work consisted of management/maintenance of both cloud and Datacenter infrastructure and deployments as well as troubleshooting and remediation of production issues. My role also involved a week long on-call rotation once a month.Highlights of my time at Beatport include:■ Core maintainer of Terraform configuration at Beatport, which included introducing Atlantis CI to all Terraform managed projects at Beatport and upgrading to version 0.12 (from 0.11)■ Core developer of the cloud-native Beatsource content ingestion system written in Python and deployed using Helm/Docker/Kubernetes. This code base was refactored from legacy Python code that was >12 years old and in the process I also upgraded it from Python2 to Python3■ Implemented load testing practices at Beatport and developed a highly scale-able load testing suite by creating a distributed Gatling Helm chart■ Deployed and maintained Beatport's suite of cluster addons to enable automated provisioning of load-balanced application endpoints, DNS records and TLS certificates (solution utilized cert-manager, external-dns, and nginx-ingress contoller)■ Developed and maintained several CI/CD pipelines using both Gitlab CI and Google Cloud Build that enabled developers to deploy to multiple environments (including feature branches).■ Developed highly scale-able tools in both Python and Node for the purpose of running large-scale asynchronous storage operations on our entire content catalog

■ Tech-lead and lead maintainer for two major projects - Ingestctl and the HoneyBadgerweb-app - both of which work together to automate and track ingest processes in the lab through a combination of a full MEAN stack implementation and a Python/Bash based ingestion pipeline/CLI suite. CI/CD pipeline and repositories managed via Gitlab. ■ Responsible for the successful deployment and maintaining of a bare metal Kubernetes cluster on CoreOS as a key piece of the cDVR (cloud DVR) Dev environment. Successfully deployed a Jenkins cluster with ephemeral build executors on the same Kubernetes cluster for the purposes of load and functional testing of cDVR build-outs.

■ Two other interns and I were responsible for building out a continuous integration server and performance tracking system for the core software under development at Vertex AI. This system automates the build, benchmark, and test processes and generates results which are fed into a MySQL database to be tracked and visualized on a Django frontend.The solution required architecting and deploying a Jenkins cluster over Kubernetes (Google Container Engine at the time, now GKE), GCP CloudSQL database + ERD/schema (build, test, and benchmark results database), Flask/Swagger based REST API and a Django web-app (frontend) on the Google Cloud Platform. Other technologies used include Git, Python, Linux shell, Docker, Arcanist, Phabricator and Bazel.
