Infrastructure team! Did a variety of projects around keeping the stack compatible with Kubernetes version updates, and a bunch of automating processes.

San Francisco, California, Us

Infrastructure team. Managed integration between AWS and GCP sections of the platform, specifically services and microservices outside the monolithic core, and supported the adoption and usage of Kubernetes for those services. Also provided support to Data Scientists (especially around their tools, like Domino Data Lab, and how they integrated with existing infrastructure), and did some data pipeline work with Flume/Google Dataflow/Apache Beam.Python, Google Cloud Platform/GCP, Kubernetes, Dataflow/Apache Beam, Amazon Web Services/AWS, Terraform

I worked on everything related to PWS's flagship product, Robiis. This includes:* Electrical & Hardware Engineering (Motors, sensors, communication, power, cooling)* Software Engineering (Embedded systems, firmware, Android/iOS app development, cloud services, website design, scalability, payment processing)* Game Design (Puzzles, game environments, rules, single and multi-player dynamics, robot customizability)* Creative Development (Story, mostly in terms of integrating relevant scientific facts into the game story as accurately as possible, as well as developing the story to include more educational information)* Research & Development (Always trying to innovate cheaper, more reliable robots with "cool" functionality)* Presentation and Public Speaking* Education (Teaching children how to use the robots, app, and play our game, plus answering questions about how the robots and game pieces work. Also more fundamental principles of education, including some developmental psychology and formation of identity and stereotypes)

Google Docs (2010-2013), ended because team was "defragged" out of KirklandGoogle Sites & Calendar (2013-2014), "this should've been in the first defrag"My responsibilities centered mostly around traffic management and capacity planning, which was crucial for the launch of new features and services, as well as scaling up existing services as their popularity grew.I also spent substantial time working on backups and restores for these services. Like most anything else at Google, the solutions to these problems were constantly changing/improving, but independent services were responsible for compatibility with the ever-changing "best practices".I participated in a 24/7 on-call rotation (typically split into shifts between 72-96 hours, though later we moved to week-long 12-on/12-off shifts with a partner office on the other side of the planet).I did a lot of "glue work": https://noidea.dog/glueBorg (Google-only, 95% of my "code" changes were in borgcfg or "borg config"), Python2

I worked on the rules engine for Magic: The Gathering Online.Basically, making sure that the behavior of the online game matched the 200-page comprehensive rulebook for MTG as closely as possible.
