* Championed the migration to disposable environments constructed via CloudFormation in AWS, which enabled simple disaster recovery. Eventually this was all refactored to terraform.* Spearheaded the modernization efforts from monolith to containerized microservices, allowing developers to deliver iterative changes every sprint.* Through the adoption of just 3 applications, the Technology Group's work was directly responsible for 2 championship wins, several manufacturer records, and many smaller victories.* Conceptualized, and implemented a high level dashboard to aid in observability, and monitoring, which became the hub for engineers to troubleshoot issues. Utilized html, css, react, express, and PostgreSQL.* Pushed for the adoption of authentication via federated identity in AWS, with app based authorization being handled via jwt tokens, and resource based authorization via STS tokens.* Responded to security incidents which involved triage, action, remediation, post mortem, and preventative measures.* AWS solicited, and approved a talk about our containerized architecture solution for Re:Invent in 2017.* Led initial design, and development surrounding the Apex Motorsports platform which is a platform enabling simple deployment of motorsports applications to the cloud. It is utilizes kubernetes as the orchestration layer, with the core functionality built in current web technologies.* Worked directly with ProServe on the Core Data Platform initiative, which ingested, centralized, and transformed data in TRD into a common format for BI, AI, and other use cases. This work enabled data science to provide actionable results/inferences. Utilized Airflow, python3, and many AWS services.* Led development of the following applications: Atlas, Apex, Calendar, Chassis Tuner, ECU Compare, Finance, Hydra, Model licensing, Tire Scaling, and more.
