- Inspire engineering teams across networking, systems, database, and software engineering to up their DevOps modernization journey. Foster GitOps practices and culture. Work within and across engineering teams to design, develop, test, implement, and support technical solutions across a full-stack development tool and technologies. - Bring a passion to stay on top of tech trends, experiment with and learn new technologies, participate in internal & external technology communities, and mentor other members of the engineering community. Develop the technical strategy, roadmap and vision for the infrastructure that operates Surescripts systems.- Responsible for the uptime of operational environments and ensure all modifications are managed, planned and coordinated in order to facilitate a smooth transition to live operation and manage risks relating to new, changed or retired infrastructure.

DevOps enthusiast working to create scalable, reliable and repeatable software and resource delivery.Project highlights:- Developed service discovery/registration platform for c# and java based microservices using consul. Removed the need for manual load balancer configuration, easing the rollout of a microservice architecture and improving application monitoring.- Developed build/test/deploy platform that managed the full life cycle of applications from development through production using Jenkinsfiles (Jenkins 2). Including integrations with ansible tower (automation), service now (change management), zenoss (monitoring). Allowed Surescripts to scale frequency of deployments from quarterly to dozens per day.- Architected and implemented the creation of a time series data platform for performance data based upon the tick stack. Created tooling to simplify using this data for alerting, dashboards, and ad hoc troubleshooting- Developed network automation for managing F5/Consul/Dynect gear to manage commissioning/decommissioning datacenters and created self service tooling for on call staff. Contributor to the open source ansible f5 libraries.- Developed secret management platform and dynamic CA based upon Hashicorp Vault used by microservices, Kafka, and Cloudera.- Developer of ansible automation for a vast variety of maintenance tasks (server creation/configuration, application management, etc)- Mentored a team of operations engineer of about 20. Lead technical interviewing process creation.Technologies used: ansible, influx, terraform, packer, vault, splunk, python, groovy, powershell, C#, nuget, gradle, git, yaml, json

Design power distribution systems for utility balance of plant (BOP) systems. Tasks include responding to design questions, interfacing with clients, generating electrical design drawings and reviewing vendor drawing submittals. Also, complete design calculations, electrical studies and prepare technical reports. Project experience includes Gainesville and Nacogdoches 100MW Woody Biomass plants and Preferred Sands Frac Sand Plant Expansion. Performed field engineering and start-up/commissioning duties for Jones 4 simple cycle power plant in Lubbock Texas.

As a Project Engineer, I was responsible for the design, integration, testing, training, and commissioning of the hardware and software requirements for large-scale electrical, water and gas SCADA systems.

I assisted in the accumulation of data on large structures subjected to lateral and axial loads in an effort to predict their behavior during earthquakes and other extreme events.
