Seattle, Washington, Us

Technical lead overseeing backend API development and infrastructure. Implementing automated build, deployment, and testing pipelines to enhance development efficiency, minimize downtime, and improve system scalability and reliability. Researching and implementing cross-cloud service management and on-prem hardware utilization for a distributed and resilient architecture in alignment with company objectives.Utilizing Docker and Nomad to streamline platform readiness, allowing the company to focus on customer acquisition without infrastructure concerns. Providing mentorship and technical guidance to the engineering team, assisting with code changes, addressing technical inquiries, and facilitating collaborative problem-solving sessions to foster developer trust and facilitate continuous learning and growth.Notable Projects:- Achieved significant performance improvement by reducing the P99 latency of the API from 4 seconds to 240 milliseconds.- Enhanced scalability and redundancy of Celery infrastructure.- Implemented AWS AMI creation using Packer and deployed a more disposable architecture for improved reliability.- Utilized Nomad to dynamically scale backend services and manage ingest queues efficiently.

Boston, Massachusetts, Us

Working on maintaining and supporting previous projects throughout the Threat Stack infrastructure.

Boston, Massachusetts, Us

Backend Engineer that worked on improving the infrastructure and helped migrate key portions of the stack from node.js to scala. Designed and implemented the Threat Intelligence product. Worked on efficiency of IP matching through billions of event's per day against lists of tens of thousands of potentially malicious IP's gathered through third and first party sources. Implemented bloomfilter and hyperloglog algorithms to facilitate the performance needed to scale with event ingest growth as well as to ensure the accuracy of the matching.Worked on a near real time event de-duplication algorithm that would potentially saved hundreds of gigabytes of bandwidth per month, this project was side lined to be pushed into future storage.Helped with maintaining and optimizing the Elasticsearch ingest pipeline as well as tweaking the systems that fed into this pipeline to increase efficiency and work through issues that arose.

I worked on the Sidekick (HubSpot Sales) and HubSpot CRM (also HubSpot Sales) teams working on various aspects of the platform. For Sidekick I worked on the ingestion of data and storing the data into Elasticsearch for more flexible searching for internal customers, this was used to find emails that did not notify correctly as well as for instances that email's did not notify at all but should have. On the HubSpot Sales team I worked on the backbone.js and react.js portions of the front end to implement new features for the CRM portions of the product.I helped to design and implement, a now defunct, product that was designed to facilitate the presentation of PDF's as well as Powerpoints for use during sales calls. During the implementation I worked on a failover system that used Redis to ensure that our websocket connections could handle client/server failures. This allowed us to do rolling deploys without interrupting any on going sales calls using the platform. I also worked on the pipeline that the PDF's and Powerpoints went through that would strip out the metadata as well as create images of each page and slide for use in the platform ensuring image quality as well as being as feature complete with the Powerpoint and PDF formats as possible to make sure that we could give the presenters as much information from their slide as possible.

My intern project was to design and implement a pilot for automated device testing. This project consisted of three parts. The first was learning and control various Android and Apple devices in a generic manner through the use of a scripting language. The second part consisted of created an abstraction over these devices so that they could be pooled together in a manner that allowed for checking in and out devices during testing phases. The third part was integrating this service into the testing framework that was, at the time, in use by Amazon. By completing this project the hope was to improve the workflow and further improve testing at Amazon to ensure that the customer experience was retained as the interfaces and software was changed.Technologies used were Android SDK, Apple IOS SDK, and Java.

Silver Spring, Maryland, Us

My work ranged from bug fixes to internal tools. My first task was starting the conversion to Gradle as the build system from maven. The bug fixes I performed dealt with email security and various other small tweaks or inconsistencies. My final project consisted of graphing and determining the velocity of the team as a whole to try and figure out points where the team was having problems and to help solve these problems as they are or before they occur rather than after.Technologies used were Gradle, Java, Ruby on Rails, and MySql
