I'm a software engineer based in Seattle, Washington, with experience in JavaScript/Node.js, React, Ruby, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, and Go. Most recently, I built Constellation, an open-source, serverless framework that simplifies geographically distributed API load testing.

Constellation automates scalable, geo-distributed API load testing to allow developers to test how their system responds to requests from all over the globe.

Architected a serverless load-generation framework with the capability to simultaneously simulate, record, store, and visualize metrics for up to 10,000 virtual users from 26 distinct geographical locations

Automated and streamlined the deployment of cloud infrastructure based on user input, reducing dozens of complex AWS actions to two Constellation commands.

Developed a command line interface that provides real-time status for multi-regional deployment.

Wrote and containerized components that support load generation and monitoring including:

a load generation engine that generates and monitors HTTP traffic following a user-defined test script by utilizing Node.js promises and Axios instances

a data collection ELT pipeline that provides a single stream of data to a central AWS Timestream database

a data visualization tool that provides detailed visibility for convenient performance analysis of test results

Authored the Constellation case study: https://constellation-load-testing.github.io/case-study.html

Collaborated remotely with an international team of four engineers across four timezones
