Lead engineer on a small self-guided team focused on introducing and building self-service tools as entry points into public cloud platforms. Largely focused on automating business logic and hardened standards, we're API focused. We have written countless endpoints and pipelines to increase developer speed and effectiveness when writing applications for cloud platforms. Some of the tools we have written automation around allow end users to create and manage resources in Terraform Enterprise, Hashicorp Vault and GitHub Enterprise for use with AWS, Azure and GCP. More recently I am focused on writing APIs for OpenShift project management to reduce a developers mean time to deploy new code on containers. My team and I are responsible for the uptime of Terraform Enterprise, Vault and Consul. We have leveraged some tools like Ansible Tower, Jenkins, Packer and AWS services to fully automate and manage the state of these applications so that they are ephemeral and self-healing. I have driven the full automation of unit and integration testing around releasing Python modules as well as API builds using Jenkins and Jfrog Artifactory.
