Transformed and modernized SeatGeek’s platform infrastructure, while building an organization of high performing engineers. As an engineer I introduced the first containerized workloads to production, and Designed highly available and horizontally scalable architecture for legacy .NET applications. As an Engineering Manager I built up our Cloud Platform organization - driving strategic planning across the 5 team organization, while directly managing and providing product direction to 2 of the teams.* Led migration to Consul Connect service mesh, increasing microservice communication reliability to 99.995% in production.* Built a central SSO service, using NGINX as an API Gateway, to support Okta-based authentication to internal apps, which consolidated user management for internal admin tools, removing two external vendors from SOC & SOX compliance scope.* Collaborated across departments to develop new deployment backend that simplified and standardized management of 100+ single-tenant enterprise applications, reducing scheduled downtime and incidents due to upgrades.* Created tooling to automate compliance evidence collection and slash engineering compliance overhead by 80%.* Managed 7 engineers with diverse experience across 2 teams.* Managed 6 vendor relationships with an annual budget of $9.2 million

* Mentored and coached direct reports in Infrastructure as Code and SRE practices. 75% of the team were promoted under my leadership, including one engineer successfully moving to management.* Made strategic senior hires to grow the team by 66% through COVID.* Led GitOps and Containerization of single tenant enterprise applications, which allowed the internal client engineering team to deploy and support over 100+ enterprise clients in AWS.* Introduced Continuous Deployment reducing lead time and eliminating drift between codebase and production.* Delivered developer self-service for managing application secrets and performing database migrations reducing delivery time for configuration and database schema changes from several hours to a few minutes.* Rebuilt AWS environments using Infrastructure as Code and established multi-region capabilities that enabled migration of EU/UK enterprise clients to AWS in compliance with GDPR and contracts stating that all data needed to reside in EU datacenters.* Implemented consistent cost tagging for AWS resources and bootstrapped FinOps program that reduced MoM AWS growth by 80%.* Managed 5 vendor relationships with an annual budget of $6.6 million.

* Designed highly available and horizontally scalable architecture for legacy .NET applications with IIS and SQL Server, and launched the first three NFL and NBA SaaS ticketing clients in the Cloud.* Led Gitlab deployment and introduction of Gitlab CI to manage internal CI/CD pipelines with least privileged access to infrastructure, improving security and compliance by hosting code privately. Application owners gained greater autonomy to manage CI and the Platform exposed more CI capabilities to users.* Migrated first containerized workloads to production and taught application owners how to manage their containerized applications. The containerization platform—built on Nomad, Consul, and Vault—reduced deployment time for code changes from 15 to 5 minutes, and gave developers greater autonomy to add or remove services.

Maintained and extended Hired’s AWS and Heroku deployments using Chef, Terraform, ChatOps (Hubot), and CI/CD tools.* Partnered with Growth Team to develop Lambda deployment capabilities. which allowed Growth engineers to iterate quickly and autonomously on new features.* Partnered with Data Science and Analytics teams to develop and deploy Directed Acyclic Graph workflows using Luigi. The updated ETL system could be rebuilt consistently in disaster recovery scenarios and ETL changes were programmatically deployed without need for manual intervention.* Managed service and security monitoring tools and developed patterns for alerting and incident response which enabled proactive alerting for datastores that were previously unmonitored.

Led consulting engagements for an 8 person team of Senior-level software engineers at a firm specializing in Continuous Delivery, Observability, Infrastructure as Code, and Developer Enablementtechnologies. Acted as internal product manager for customer deliverables. Developed Infrastructure as Code, architected Public Cloud infrastructure, and implemented DevOps patterns and workflows.* Assisted over a dozen companies to launch in or migrate to the Cloud using CloudFormation, Chef, Puppet & Ansible. These engagements reduced application deployment times to 10 minutes or less, and eliminated configuration drift across servers.* Implemented a public cloud and OSS based search service for a Fortune 50 retailer, that improved sales conversion by 10%, reduced hosting cost at scale, and eliminated multi-week lead time for scaling infrastructure.* Maintained and extended Open Source codebases for Infrastructure as Code, Configuration Management, and Observability, positioning the company as a thought leader in the DevOps and Observability communities.
