Head Of Core InfrastructureCoinbase Feb 2023 - Aug 2024Remote First, UsI created and lead the Core Infrastructure group (which I ultimately grew to over 60 people, making up over half of the Infrastructure team at Coinbase), a collection of subteams with a common mission to scale and modernize core infrastructure concerns at the company (Routing, Compute, and Datastores, and later incorporating Networking, Observability, SRE, Incident Command) in order to achieve the next level of scale, cost efficiency, and reliability.Supported teams in Core Infrastructure in executing several major modernization efforts from end to end: addition of managed L7 ingress routing layer with reliability and resilience features, migration from a home-grown service identity solution to SPIFFE/SPIRE, creation of a modern compute platform (on Kubernetes), migration to that platform of 1000 services / 3500 deployment targets, saving >$15M annually and reducing deployment times by over 60%.Set the example for managers at Coinbase by being in the details on major projects and operationally engaged by sitting on the Major Incident Command team's pager rotation, with direct responsibility for resolving the most severe production incidents at the company.Awarded Company Astronaut award (1 per quarter) for leading from the front in incidents and beyond, setting an example, and consistently being in the details. -

Senior Engineering ManagerCoinbase Jul 2020 - Feb 2022Remote First, UsI joined Coinbase to lead its Reliability Engineering team, where I focused on scaling Coinbase systems in preparation for and through its direct public offering and in order to support the sudden and huge increases in traffic that are common in crypto.I led a key effort at a critical time for the company by creating and operationalizing a scaling approach that included identification of bottlenecks through load testing, the addressing of those bottlenecks across through tuning and rearchitecture across the company (hundreds of bottlenecks across around one hundred teams), and ultimately a shift in focus to resiliency. I did this by leading from the front, attending almost every load test for 8 months straight, keeping the momentum of the effort up and teams unblocked. We achieved our ultimate goal of increasing the throughput of Coinbase's systems by a factor of 10 and eliminated a major class of system failures as a result.
