• Creating and mentoring an Engineering team to help migrate Accelerate Learning to AWS and build the future for the STEMScopes platform.• Created a cost model to show migrating the public cloud can save the company significant costs while increasing agility.• Delivered a strategic plan for migrating to the public cloud that provides a high level of security while increasing developer efficiency and has the eventual goal of achieving SOC 2 compliance.• Designed and built a GitOps based platform using EKS, ArgoCD, Istio and Pulumi to automate building highly secure Kubernetes clusters that audit all approvals and changes to infrastructure.• Created processes for automating the creation of GitHub repos via Pulumi to meet security standards and ensure that best practices for source control are followed.• Created automation with GitHub workflows to automate testing, approval and deployment of AWS infrastructure using Pulumi.• Created developer pipelines to build, test and deployment software as container images with code and container level scanning for vulnerabilities and SDLC compliance.• Enabled SSO for many vendor products to allow centralized management of users across platforms.

• Leading the engineering team that builds the core infrastructure security blocks to allow Equifax to migrate to the Google Cloud Platform and comply with FedRAMP standards.• Established best practices for managing Google Kubernetes Engine and created Terraform automation that teams can use create clusters that meet high Equifax security standards. Continuing to bring new functionality such as Anthos Service Mesh and Anthos Configuration Manger as part of the Equifax standard for GKE.• Designed configuration in GKE and ASM that support observability requirements to run GKE at global scale for our SRE leads. • Developed an internal container image catalog to support the SDLC standards for all development teams. Container images are regularly scanned for vulnerabilities and updated daily to ensure we have tight control over our Software Supply Chain. Containers are tested to ensure functionality within the tightly controlled IT environment at Equifax. This catalog covers a wide variety of technologies such as C#, Java, Go, NodeJS, Python, PowerShell, Terraform, Istio, Prometheus, Grafana, PostgreSQL and more.• Designed automation to build server images as well as the policies to ensure cloud servers meet Equifax security standard. Created automation that software teams can use to automate server rebuilds on a frequent basis without application downtime and eliminate traditional patching.• Designed Equifax Shell, a cloud resource where developers and software engineers can work that is kept up to date with the latest security patches and tool versions. It ensures teams are always on the same versions of toolsets but can work with familiar development platforms like Visual Studio Code. It greatly speeds the time it takes for a new employee to be productive.• A key member of the “Crusade Against Bureaucracy” initiative to remove the blockers that keep employees from being efficient while still maintaining high security standards across the company.

• I led the Crossroad development team that developed a new broadcast scheduling and advertising management system which handles over 40% of the revenue of the company. I introduced agile development methodologies to the company as part of this effort. The system is licensed to other companies and was awarded an EMMY for its technological achievement.• I developed the automation to deploy the Crossroad system across hundreds of servers and reduced deployment time from over a day to less than an hour and reduced the errors introduced from manual configuration. It automates all the auditing need to prove compliance with SOX standards.• I created a plan to save money and increase productivity by using senior resources that could apply automation to routine DBA tasks. I was able to bring back several people who were laid off and I improved our level of service.• During a critical data center failure, which included the DR site, I was able to use automation to build out a new production environment in our development data center and have Crossroad operational before the next schedule was due in the morning. This prevented us from having no media to air on over 14 networks which would have results in millions of dollars of lost revenue.• I worked with the NBA to transition their Sybase servers to cloud based SQL Servers for replication of statistics data and saved over $400K in annual licensing costs.• I managed vendor relationships with cloud and tool vendors that supported our development efforts. I worked with vendors of public clouds, development tools and databases including Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, GitHub, Mongo, Tableau, Qlik, Elastic, JetBrains and Pluralsight and millions of dollars in budgets.• I introduced Power BI across the corporation to replace Power Pivot, Tableau and Qlik which saved over $250K in annual license costs.• I built Kubernetes systems in the AWS and Azure that met the SOX compliance needed for revenue critical systems.
