At MyCase, I've been a big part of our DevOps journey over the past few years.

Using tools like Terraform, Docker, and Jenkins, I've helped our software teams develop tools and processes that have taken us from shipping code just once every two weeks, to 3+ times a week.

Based on the work I've done, some of our newer services have a fully realized Continuous Delivery pipeline, where all they do to ship to production is merge to master, anytime.

We're always looking for ways to get our teams shipping code faster, safely. We're trying to scale our entire Engineering organization without scaling up our dedicated Ops team linearly.

Our next big project is to codify our remaining infrastructure with Terraform, and move our older services from long-lived EC2 instances to containers.

For my first year, I worked on MyCase's Payments team.

We built the MyCase Payments Platform, which enables lawyers to accept credit card and eCheck (ACH) payments from their clients. Using a microservice-based approach, we integrated the features of third-party payment processor platforms, and made our business into a Payment Facilitator.

I worked closely with our Operations team to help build the architecture that runs our credit card processing microservice.

At present, I have joined our Cloud Ops team full-time. We're working to continuously improve the AWS cloud infrastructure that runs MyCase, and enable our development teams to use the latest technology to move fast.

Over the past year, I've worked at DI to build a solid custom Linux distribution, which we currently ship on our small-form-factor hardware platform. Labs use our embedded computers to integrate all sorts of medical devices into one combined system.

Recently, I've been working more heavily on the DevOps side of things. I've done some awesome work automating our build systems, and done a lot to help my current team move to a Continuous Integration solution using Ant, Maven, and Jenkins.

Along with that, I've worked with the rest of our Java team to build a nice new web API into one of our flagship products, using Embedded Jetty. We've laid the foundation for an excellent new web frontend.

Before Dawning got bought by DI, I wore different hats. I did debugging, drivers, and core fixes for our flagship Java app, a lot of database programming/design(PostgreSQL & Hibernate), and most of Dawning's Linux platform/embedded firmware development (filesystem, scripts, Kernel & drivers) on their custom ARM and PowerPC boards.

At Cisco, I kept our segment of R&D's dev machines running, among other things. Hardware maintenance, networking work, and a little bit of development with super-secret new routing software.

My priority there was to provide an excellent level of service for the R&D team's developers who work remotely.
