Leading Container Orchestration architecture and design on premises and in AWS.

Working on Infrastructure as a Service / R&D- Container Orchestration - Bare-metal provisioning- Configuration Management and Automation with Ansible- Deploy and Maintain Openstack with Kolla- Container Persistence

Working on persistence and data services for container architectures. Focused on the developer tooling, integrations and overall experience.Responsibilities include:- Python development and testing using Twisted, Pyrsistent, Hypothesis and others.- Bash, and python scripting for automation.- Minimal Golang development- Microservice example application development in node.js, python, and ruby.- Running Kubernetes, Mesos, Swarm(UCP) in real world application examples.- Technical solutions management for customer deployments and support.- Deploy and prototype Kubernetes with Flocker at scale for production stateful services- User and customer based debugging and support engineering- Technical writing / Blogging- Speaking / Presenting (examples: Dockercon 15/16, NYC Kubernetes, ContainerDays NYC)The above responsibilities include deploying infrastructure with Terraform, Ansible and custom scripts as well as using Amazon Web Services, Google Compute Engine, Digital Ocean, and Rackspace cloud infrastructures to deploy container based architectures for Mesos, Swarm(UCP) and Kubernetes with Docker and storage.
