Within Last Year: SWE team lead for Webex software build, deploy and recovery strategy of platform services. Designed and extended a service build framework to integrate and interconnect the distributed service components of Webex products. Project highlights involved: FM/LLM proxy services, Chatbot interfaces, NLP, document RAG modeling tuning techniques, PaaS Terraform templating, centralized platform deployment, and disconnected environment platform topology redesign. Directly responsible for technical system design, managing SOW initiatives for contracted team and implementation of containerized and highly avl REST services centered around our Chat interfaces integrated for Cisco Webex development. The last 3 years: Cloud engineering technical leader for Webex cloud services and reliability. Directly responsible for technical system design and implementation of incident response automation (Python, Flask), change management automation (NodeJs), dashboarding (NodeJs, pug, sass). Built out several conversational ops bots for capturing incidents and creating efficient triage automation.50% executive meetings - executive requirements, translating business needs to technical design, design documentation or proof of concept (physical, logical, data modeling diagrams), driver of cross organizational change.30% personal project work, code changes, paired programming, one on one with engineering staff.20% driving KPIs with SRE engineering staff and promoting learning, growth with individual engineers on our team.
