Making easy to manage access to critical cloud systems and resources.

Minneapolis, Minnesota, Us

Built a resilient & highly scalable task queue in Go & MySQL to reliably deliver millions of daily notifications while meeting strict requirements of introducing no additional infrastructure.

Boston, Massachusetts, Us

- Feature Lead for several facets of the Snyk Cloud and Snyk IaC plus.- Converted and improved the Fugue Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) tool from AWS (step functions, Lambda functions, ECS, etc) to Kubernetes.- Built the API using OpenAPI standards using Go and Postgresql deployed to Kubernetes.- Developed ETL processes and data pipelines using Temporal.- Optimized the performance and availability of microservices, ensuring smooth operation and high uptime.- Replaced a standard Debezium CDC (change data capture) connector utilizing the database commit log with a novel implementation based on the highly adaptable Outbox Pattern.- Re-architected the DW and reduced the costs by a factor of 3.

Frederick, Maryland, Us

- Developed the Fugue, a highly scalable and dependable CSPM tool that utilized the Terraform providers from the three leading cloud providers and conducted security vulnerability assessments of customer cloud environments.- Implemented a modular monolith-based architecture using Python and Go on AWS proprietary services such as Lambda, ECS, SNS/SQS, Aurora ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.- Developed an Role-based access control (RBAC) for the CSPM app.- Collaborated closely with security and compliance teams to define and implement custom rules and policies aligned with industry standards and regulatory requirements.- Developed the Data Warehouse using AWS Glue to build ETL pipelines and Redshift and S3 Parquet to store the data.- The absence of customer churn and the platform's significant growth led to its acquisition by Snyk.

Oak Ridge, Tn, Us

- Architected and developed the Neutron Reduction Web Portal (Python Django with Celery-Redis backed by PostgreSQL and deployed with Docker with ETL jobs running on a in-house cluster)- Blue Sky research projects using AI, Machine Learning (Scikit Learn and TensorFlow) to classify and predict experimental data, and GPU processing (CUDA) of mathematical models.- Active contributor to the open source scientific projects Mantid (www.mantidproject.org) and SasView (www.sasview.org).
