Orchestrated the use of continuous delivery pipelines across 36 Terraform code repositories using GitHub Actions.Delivered zero trust network infrastructure using Cloudflare containers on AWS Fargate to replace legacy, hand rolled, VPN solutions.Led the design and implementation of a highly available cloud-to-cloud network connectivity solution using IPsec and BGP to connect AWS and Azure cloud resources to achieve near 100% reliable connectivity for critical database traffic.Authored organization wide coding standards and practices for all Terraform Infrastructure as Code development across 5 teams encompassing 50 engineers.

Coded two custom Terraform providers to integrate monitoring and secret management services into the system deployment processes.Devised CI/CD pipelines using Gitlab to test and deploy Ansible, Terraform, Python, and Golang projects.Architected a distributed and highly available global log collection system in 28 locations using Logstash and Kafka.Established the first use of Ansible across the org for complete end-to-end management of the Log Collection stack.Spearheaded a project to replace proprietary software that handled user authentication on thousands of Linux systems with open source tools. This saved the business over $500k in licensing costs.

Created a continuous delivery pipeline that allows users, with one git commit, to orchestrate the deployment of infrastructure resources to production systems across disparate providers.Developed three custom Terraform providers for storage infrastructure components, IP address management, and CMDB.Wrote tooling to simplify the import of over 2,000 manually created resources to Terraform state management.

Steered the technical and strategic direction of the team with ownership of Wayfair’s 3 petabytes of global storage.Engineered a Python application to collect performance metrics and configuration data from all systems in the storage network.Leveraged InfluxDB and Grafana to create a single location to view environmental health.Drove the implementation of automation as the primary means of provisioning storage, reducing hands on time by 40%.Conceived of scripts using Python or Shell to standardize and simplify repetitive operational tasks across the 7 person team.Coordinated with teams across the organization to prepare scaling plans to handle 30-50% YOY growth.

Designed and implemented a strategy to modernize Wayfair’s storage infrastructure using EMC VPLEX, VMAX, and XtremIO storage arrays and Cisco MDS Fibre Channel director-class switches.Transformed an existing collection of scripts into a single Python application to automate the creation of VMware virtual machines. This sped up delivery of resources from over 3 hours to 15 minutes.Liaised with stakeholders to drive standardization in resource deployment throughout the infrastructure environment.Designed and implemented a strategy to scale data center resources from 300 to 1000 physical servers to sustain growth and provide a disaster recovery solution.

Managed all day-to-day operations in a storage environment containing 300TB across EMC VNX and VMAX arrays.Pioneered the use of Puppet to transform the compute platform from FreeBSD to CentOS Linux across 500+ virtual machines and physical servers.Facilitated the migration of physical compute resources over a three month period with zero unplanned downtime.Completed the build-out of a secondary data center site for disaster recovery and to support customer growth on the US west coast.

Solely conducted the daily operational tasks for the Falconstor IPstor based storage environment.Evaluated three vendors to select a platform to implement a multi-site storage network. Presented to leadership a plan to use Nexenta ZFS as the best overall solution.Revitalized existing VMware infrastructure to consolidate physical hardware, promoting efficient use of hardware resources in three office locations.

Administered a heterogeneous server infrastructure consisting of Linux, Windows and Macintosh based systems.Assisted in the implementation of web-based systems for document and policy management; support tickets and computing inventory management.Standardized authentication to all network services using Active Directory.Deployed a Cisco VoIP phone system with SIP connectivity.

Responsible for front end user support for both local and remote staff located within the US and UK.Supported a mixed environment of Windows and Macintosh based workstations.Responsible for day-to-day maintenance tasks of all computing resources.Provided first line support for company workflow, digital asset and automation production systems.Installed and maintained rack mounted servers and network equipment.

Owned and managed business, provided computer support and repair for individuals and small businesses.

Designed and deployed a Windows Server 2008 domain.Responsible for daily server and network management tasks.Upgraded network infrastructure devices and equipment to support growing company needs.Responsible for end user support and troubleshooting both in-person and over the phone.Developed in house software applications to simplify common tasks.
