My role was a tech lead for the Release & Delivery Engineering (RDE) team to provide service teams a paved road onto our platform, which powered such brands as Max, Bleacher Report, and CNN. Also part of my role was to mentor and lead other engineers in their career journey.

Architected and led the implementation of our platform’s CI/CD process from repository structure, GitHub Actions workflow to interacting with our internal K8s deployment API.

I also architected and managed a handful of internal APIs and services built on AWS services

• Centralized eventing service built using API Gateway, Lambda & EventBridge which powered activities such as deployments, metrics, and quality gates across our organization. Currently processing over 2.5 million internal events each day.

• Release Orchestrator service built using a typical serverless stack (API Gateway, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS), which provided quality gates for each deployment to ensure the required testing has passed before promoting to the next environment

Technical lead for the Direct to Consumer DevOps team, helping establish best practices around AWS deployments, infrastructure, and observability.

Developed internal platform tooling and services to help engineering teams in their mission to safely ship amazing products to our favorite brands like Food Network Kitchen, Magnolia, and HGTV.

Design, implement, and maintain cloud systems to process data from IoT devices. I used nearly every AWS service to run the systems which were powered by Docker (ECS) and serverless (Lambda).

Lead the efforts in designing best practices around application, infrastructure, and IoT device security.

Two of the main pillars I designed and implemented were an automated CI/CD process through Jenkins & CodePipeline and a standardized authentication system using API Gateway + Lambda authorizers.
