Riot Acquired WargamingI developed a compatibility layer that allowed the old and new game replication systems to work in parallel, making it easier to compare bandwidth, test state replication updates, and phase out the old system. To enhance server stability, I added a packet filtering system that disincentivized DDoS attacks. I also implemented a network protocol hash check to ensure the game server and clients used the same version, which helped identify issues early and maintain consistency. Additionally, I resolved security vulnerabilities like buffer overflows and uninitialized memory, strengthening the system's security. Furthermore, I developed in-game debugging and state verification tools that streamlined troubleshooting and were adopted across teams.

I developed and integrated RESTful APIs within a multi-container application, using Python and deploying through Amazon EKS with Skaffold. I also enhanced observability by integrating OpenTelemetry, which improved troubleshooting and monitoring. Additionally, I led a large-scale refactoring of the application, introducing new services and restructuring existing ones to improve modularity, maintainability, and scalability, all managed through Kubernetes.

I enhanced inventory tracking for Pentalym by developing a web-based solution for QR code product information, leveraging TypeScript and AWS CDK for seamless, serverless deployment. For the Clean Energy Regulator, I modernized a legacy .NET portal, improving the user interface and reducing technical debt. At the Australian Bureau of Statistics, I implemented an AWS data lake with integrated security measures to protect against malicious uploads. Additionally, I automated CI/CD pipelines for 2Pi Software's Customer Relationship Management product on AWS, improving deployment efficiency and reliability, with the project featured at the Canberra AWS User Group.

I developed GitLab pipelines that automated testing and code promotion, enhancing code quality and standardizing deployments in Product-as-a-Service environments. Additionally, I created Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation modules using Ansible, VMware Tooling, and Terraform, which ensured consistent and reliable deployments by eliminating configuration drift and reducing manual errors. I also automated middleware testing by developing a Java application integrated with SoapUI, which streamlined the testing of Oracle Fusion Middleware Services, improving the efficiency and reliability of test executions.

I served as a Policy Officer in Indigenous Drugs and Alcohol Programs.
