Consultant for companies trying to evolve and accelerate their business by helping them integrate premier DevSecOps practices. Migrated a companies infrastructure from on prem to Azure. We also upgraded rancher software from Cattle on-prem to Rancher Server on Azure. From there we migrated their deployment strategy from swarm deployments to use Kubernetes Helm Charts for their apps. Transitioned a company's continuous deployment strategy to Spinnaker (Armory's) from Jenkins. We then helped roll out this strategy to all the development teams with minimum friction and extra work for the developers.Set up dynamic provisioning of Gitlab Runners on EKS and set up an in-cluster container registry to use as a pull through cache for rapid builds in CI.
