Technical Lead supporting custom DOD cloud system, Managing a team of 8 on Data Ingestion. I developed a custom headless web browser to navigate many http, https sites. In addition developed ways to connect to ftp, file shares and exchange servers. All done completely automated. Each containing a level of complexity using PKI, Username/Token, as well as understanding network traffic and identifying ways to gain access to the data.Since the COVID stay at home, I have taken more of an admin role, managing a new way to proceed on ELT. As a team I have supported the migration of the ingest software to use Spring Boot, Kubernetes, Kafka Streams, Redis, Helm, and containerization of our applications.
