# Devon Grove > Senior Software Engineer at Pulumi Location: San Diego, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/devon More than anything, I'm passionate about making sure everyone's time is spent well, on things they enjoy doing and that are high value. As a Software Engineer of six years, this manifests in a desire for highly readable, non-repeated code, and a development process that is as painless and automated as possible. My background in ops scripting, and a look at my Bash profile, backs this up! I am a full-stack engineer with a diverse background in development, though I am especially passionate about building well-structured and scalable frontends with modern frameworks and TypeScript. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in December 2018, where I was a Division I scholarship athlete on the Track & Field/Cross Country teams. I also minored in Economics. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Pulumi Jan 2023 – Present | Seattle, Washington, United States ### Software Engineer II @ Pulumi Jan 2021 – Jan 2023 | Seattle, Washington, United States ### Software Development Engineer II @ Apptio Jan 2020 – Jan 2021 | Bellevue, Washington, United States ### Software Development Engineer I @ Apptio Jan 2019 – Jan 2020 | Bellevue, Washington ### Senior Student Developer @ Cal Poly Information Technology Services Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | San Luis Obispo, California Area • Led project to containerize Drupal application using Docker to allow for local developer environments, improve workflows. • Automated manual stages of deployment process by writing dozens of PHP and Bash scripts to improve team efficiency and ticket throughput. • Identified and recommended important system updates to modules and libraries, oversaw testing procedures to avoid use of deprecated third-party tools. • Maintained usability standards for 150+ Drupal-managed sites using Regular Expressions, Drupal API, and MySQL queries to correct broken content. • Wrote extensive Wiki documentation and comments to develop reusable code. ### Student-Athlete @ Cal Poly Men's Cross Country/Track and Field Jan 2014 – Jan 2018 | San Luis Obispo, California • Devoted 20 hours per week to running and ancillary training • Proactively planned academic, sports, and personal schedules to balance my athletic commitments with a full course academic load • Communicated with peers and attended regular team meetings, including leadership role as a representative on Student-Athlete Advisory Committee ### Software Engineering Intern @ DASH Platform Jan 2016 – Jan 2016 | Bellevue, WA • Development work was done in LAMP stack web application using CakePHP-based MVC framework. • Implemented 5 new features and fixed dozens of bugs. • Focused on server-side and client-side debugging with IntelliJ/xDebug and JavaScript console, respectively, to quickly learn project codebase and architecture. • Was first developer on team to host development environment on Windows machine, using Vagrant. • Collaborated using Agile methods in Atlassian Jira project tracking and Git. ### Software Engineering Intern @ Sports-IT/DASH Platform Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Bellevue, Washington ### Sales Associate @ Everyday Athlete Jan 2012 – Jan 2014 | Kirkland, WA Everyday Athlete is a running and triathlon specialty store centered around the goal of matching customers with the ideal apparel based on their fitness needs.
