Cloud Engineering Technical Leader and Incident Commander for the Central Operations SRE/PbM team, working on FedRAMP projects.

Levrraged my expertise with Terraform, Cloud Functions, Puppet, and Ruby on-the-fly in this chill but fast-paced environment. This place is awesome, and the other engineers are top-notch!

The go-to guy for almost every aspect of the company's web sites and web services and their interactions with middle-ware and networking. From advanced troubleshooting, SEO and Apache Rewrite Rules to Memcache and MongoDB and everything in-between. I liaise and coordinate between departments and teams, and I've been instrumental in making sure systems are kept running smoothly and optimally.

As a co-founder and the CTO of this start-up, I designed the architecture and developed the company’s secure, e-commerce-driven platform and administration systems. The site integrates with various third-party providers, including FedEx for shipping and Authorize.Net for credit card processing.

Engineer for Emerging Markets, responsible for the development and integration of new technologies into a new version of a sports site for Emerging Markets Soccer and beyond.

Worked with an architect and the Zend PHP Framework to create an asset management system with built-in access control system, customer response system, import/export and reports.

As a co-founder of this VC-backed start-up (Renamed to Visual Media), I designed the architecture and developed the company’s secure, e-commerce-driven platform and administration systems, powering the entire enterprise. The sites’ scalable design allows all sites to share data, as well as integrates them with various third-party providers, including FedEx and Authorize.Net for shipping and credit card processing. By also building the administration system, I succeeded in exceeding the company’s goals by creating a truly robust content management system. I also developed the content delivery system and administrative back-ends for the developers of the products sold throughout the conglomerate, including automatic sign-ups, recurring billing, and statistic reporting. I was also responsible for architecture planning for the “video blogging” site, where users could sell their media to one another. I directed the architecture according to budget and storage needs and reported directly to the CEO.

Created and maintained Perl and Shell scripts that aided in the administration and deployment of over 1,000 servers, as well as to keep CVS source-trees under control. In this role, I learned a great deal more about RedHat system administration, Kickstart deployment, CFEngine, and backup practices. I also provided guidance to other members of the Systems Administration team to make their jobs easier through more efficient coding. I also created the department’s contact database and a NOC checklist using Perl, as well as re-engineered the company’s Intranet using Mambo (PHP CMS system), combined with a PHP script to display company contact/location/birthday information. This information required a nightly export from a GreatPlains (MS SQL Server) database into MySQL, also configured by me through my middle-ware skills.

Restructured the development department of this Internet start-up and supported a four-person team, assisting in the development life-cycle of the front- and back-ends of many web-applications, including:Par-Chem.com: Responsible for the design of the database schema and the programming of the front-end, back-end, and scripts and stored procedures in this SQL2000 Database-driven, ASP/VB Application. During this project, I helped to ensure consistent and reliable information architecture, code optimization, modularity and reusability. RadioElectronica.com: Developed this web-portal, including a database-driven catalog of information on clubs, events and DJs in cities spanning the globe. This site integrated real-time streaming media with a bandwidth detection algorithm. In addition, Windows Media Event Scripting technologies and DHTML are used to affect a real-time play-list with affiliate links. RapNetwork.com: Lead the development team and designed the information architecture and infrastructure of this database-driven, graphically intense catalog of information on artists, music, and videos, in under three weeks. I later assisted them in porting this entire web-portal to PHP. BelAmiOnline.com: Designed and implemented the membership section of this highly trafficked, adult-entertainment site, using ASP and SQL Server 7. Integration with Authorize.net for Credit Card processing and a robust back-end allows administrators to modify access-rights, subscription expirations, and other account information on the fly.

Designed, developed, coded, and tested a streamlined, modular document delivery system used by editors. This part of their web-portal derived DHTML templates from HTML pages, and used custom ColdFusion and Perl scripts for retrieving from and modifying information in an Oracle content repository. The homepage and the search functionality were redesigned using dynamic HTML and advanced JavaScript techniques for cross-browser compatibility, as well as designed a membership section with e-mail/wireless alerts.
