* Service to Service communication paradigms and tooling (gRPC / REST / internal RPC library)

* CI/CD pipeline and Automated Canary Analysis

* An Envoy + Redis + Nomad orchestrated storage system that acts as our primary on premise caching system, often fronting GCP Big Table - currently this system handles over 1 Million commands per second

* Management of AWS and Akamai infrastructure that supports Sirius XMs music and content catalog

* Primary developer of Pandora’s commerce systems for 2 years. Separated commerce system into its own service, transitioned to a new payment processor, adding distributed transactions across internal and external services.

* Designed and implemented Pandora's core Analytics data reporting system for Sales and Business Analysts.
