I am a technical lead for Watson Ads Weather Targeting, a product that offers high-volume, low-latency services to support targeted advertising based on weather conditions. We have a small team, so I wear many hats, among which are system and application architecture, technical design, application development, build automation, production operations, and agile process management.TypeScript, Java, Kubernetes, AWS, IBM Cloud, Microservices, CDN, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ

I led a team comprising senior software and devops engineers to deliver a horizontally scalable data access service for IBM’s Watson Data Platform. I was responsible for software design and systems architecture on this project, and I spent most of my time coding. We developed with Clojure, interacted with a variety of data stores (Redis, Kafka, and many more), and deployed with Docker on Kubernetes.Async/Rx, Clojure, Docker, Functional, Hazelcast, Java, Kafka, Kubernetes, Linux, Redis, REST

I automated deployments of weather.com’s API services, which ran on thousands of servers worldwide and served tens of billions of requests daily. We used Chef and Terraform to build and deploy AMIs on EC2 autoscaling groups. Later, I drove the adoption of Docker for the API platform and built a deployment framework that reduced deployment times from hours to seconds.AWS, Cassandra, Chef, Consul, Docker, Go, Linux, RabbitMQ, Redis, Ruby, Shell

I oversaw a scrum team of 7 developers to produce a Direct Project secure clinical email transport system based on open standards (SMTP, S/MIME, X.509). We outperformed many competitors with greater resources by passing accreditation on the first attempt, getting us to market well ahead of the horde. I also represented the company’s interests in Direct Project open workgroup meetings where the direction of the technology was decided.AWS, C#, Linux, MongoDB, MySQL, Puppet, RabbitMQ, RPM, Ruby, Shell, Windows
