# Chandler Ferry > Platform Engineer | Automation, Tools, Infra Location: Seattle, Washington, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/chandler Software Engineer Technical Leader with 8+ years of experience leading the design, development, and deployment of innovative automation tools and infrastructure that drives efficiency and productivity. ## Work Experience ### Founder @ QuoteTurn Jan 2026 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area AI for Industrial Equipment RFQs ### Platform Engineer Consultant | Healthcare Technology @ Clincove Jan 2024 – Present Engineered a scalable local development environment using Skaffold and Kubernetes, reducing onboarding time for new developers by 1 hour. Spearheaded migration from self-hosted to a cost-effective authentication solution (Clerk/NextJS Auth), enabling MFA and outsourcing password vulnerabilities. Modernized NestJS backend authentication systems to enhance security and scalability, aligning with HIPAA compliance standards. Consolidated Client and Admin Portal UIs into an NX monorepo, eliminating 30%+ code duplication and streamlining CI/CD pipelines. Established Swagger as the single source of truth for APIs, auto-generating SDKs and data models to standardize frontend-backend integration and prevent data leakage with openapi validator. Architected extensible platform design to future-proof integration of FHIR/HL7 healthcare data standards and rules engines. ### Platform Engineer Consultant | Compliance @ SingleKey Jan 2024 – Present Spearheaded AWS infrastructure modernization by replacing manual CloudFormation with AWS CDK pipelines, enforcing SOC-2 compliant architecture patterns through automated deployment guardrails and eliminating 100+ legacy CloudFormation scripts. Developed end-to-end SOC-2 disaster recovery program including engineering reference architecture, BCDR plan, tabletop exercises, compliance forms, and production runbook for full infrastructure rebuilds. Led SOC-2 Type II compliance validation through practical testing frameworks (including multi-account strategies), gap remediation of AWS security controls, and cross-functional team training on audit processes. Established infrastructure-as-code governance by migrating all core applications to CDK, implementing mandatory platform review for new services, and training engineering teams on standardized repository patterns. Instituted ongoing compliance maintenance through theoretical/practical analysis cycles, security control monitoring, and disaster recovery documentation versioning. ### Senior Software Engineer @ Xealth Jan 2024 – Present | Seattle, Washington, United States • SME in ECMAScript, driving initiatives to standardize codebases and ensure seamless interoperability between ESM and CJS modules through training and documentation. • Transitioned the automation framework from CodePipeline to Kubernetes, developing tools to boost developer efficiency and streamline on-demand test workflows. This initiative is aimed at leveraging vCluster container orchestration for improved scalability, reliability, and maintainability of automated processes. • Implemented K6, Postman, WebdriverIO, Cypress all into one user interface that is delivered using TestKube & Argo Events ### Founder @ Signet Trade Jan 2022 – Jan 2024 | Seattle, Washington, United States Creating the only secure & automated escrow system for emerging digital communities ### Senior Software Engineer, Tools & Infra @ DexCare Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Seattle, Washington, United States • Invented and developed a novel, integral automated test orchestrator in TypeScript which created two U.S. patents, removing workload growth on test creation per environment and solving the requirement to test across 20+ unique environments without the overhead of creating test api libraries, individual tests, and configurations. This is the evolution of the knowledge I built at Xealth, with additional challenges including hiring and leading 5 SDETs to assist in developing the project. • Identified a need for company-wide standardization, resulting in singlehandedly changing 50+ GitHub repos to increase developer velocity and setting a uniform direction for engineering by creating a common package monorepo and refactoring GitHub CI/CD Actions, Swagger docs, Datadog logging/tracing/monitoring, Sonarqube integration, semantic versioning, Docker containers, NPM package management, tool configuration, repository structure (NX), and more. Prior to this work, all repositories were created organically; now tools and common packages can be leveraged to keep these projects up to date. • Built several internal tools in TypeScript, Python, and Bash for daily tasks and releases including SAML logins (AWS, 1Password), Database Schema Migrations (db-migrate, Terraform), ArgoCD (Kubernetes, Docker), LaunchDarkly difference checks, Release Changelist creation, Release Notes generation, etc. These tools are the backbone of my efforts to encourage developer productivity through removing toil, saving thousands of engineering hours. Launching these tools and ensuring company-wide adoption is the largest challenge, involving demos, brownbags, and the required passion to drive solutions home. ### Software Development Engineer @ Xealth Jan 2019 – Jan 2021 • Developed a Hybrid Test Automation Framework and a data-driven Framework hooked into both the UI and Keyword data that reduced the time needed for creating UI, REST API, and HL7/FHIR API tests from 2 hours to 5 mins for the QA team. • Implemented a framework that allows all tests to exist in a TypeScript Data Format, eliminating the need for mass maintenance of Specification Files and allowing for End to End UI, HL7/FHIR API, and Partner API Tests. • Developed a library that eliminates manual test writing for 20+ unique vendors with 1.6MM+ programs. ### Lead Developer @ Median XL Jan 2018 – Jan 2019 • Developed Median XL Launcher, for a Diablo II overhaul modification that has received 300,000+ unique downloads and has 30,000+ weekly users, to install & update Median XL, resolve compatibility & file version issues, & manipulate game settings. • Increased stability and maintainability and allowed for multiplatform releases by refactoring the Median XL Launcher from Javascript into Typescript for the Sigma release using Node.js, Electron, Vue.js, REST, and Jest. • Integrated a multi-platform distribution system via Webpack, NSIS, DMG, and AppImages. ### Software Engineer II @ CDK Global Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 • Led the design, development, and deployment of web-based automation projects with a team of 5 developers. • Developed and delivered a React Web Application using Node.js, TypeScript, SASS, Jest, Selenium, Bamboo, and Docker that tracked and displayed user web behavior data on CDK websites to allow car dealers to secure potential leads. • Reduced costs, optimized resource management, and increased efficiency for the launch of the dealer Partner Program that generated $2MM in annual revenue, by creating Launchpad, an application that automatically migrated 9,000+ websites. ### Software Engineer @ Novo Nordisk Jan 2015 – Jan 2016 • Designed and created CAD automation for creating metal parts and components in smithies that eliminated the need for manual computer processing and met technical and time-sensitive client requirements. • Automated laser cutter engraving machines that increased efficiency >10x and saved 3 months of work upon launch. ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/chandlerferry - GitHub: https://github.com/ChandlerFerry --- Source: https://flows.cv/chandler JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/chandler/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
