Technical lead for backend services. Designed, implemented, operationalized, and owned various services from the ground up. Deeply involved in systems design and a heavy contributor of RFCs and ERDs to define the technical roadmap for the team. Champion of Operational Excellence through instrumentation, SLI and SLO definition and enforcement. Mentor for junior and early-career engineers.

Services sprawled different system design patterns such as: API design, asynchronous processing, resource contention, optimistic and pessimistic locking, fault tolerance, relational databases, object storage, ACL and IAM based authorization. Services were built on Golang, Docker, Kubernetes, in house services and AWS services (SQS, S3, EC2, etc.), as well as open source projects (Prometheus, Opentracing).

Tooling used includes Bazel, Git, Makefiles, Gitlab CI/CD, Splunk.

Intimate knowledge and experience in CI/CD using various tooling such as Docker, Jenkins, Gitlab CI, Codeship, and deploying into various cloud solutions such as AWS and Kubernetes. Currently working on a service that provides developers a REST interface to manage applications that wish to control access via the OpenID Connect and OAuth2 protocols. The project is deployed on Kubernetes, written in in Go, and powered by an RDS-backed Postgres instance and Okta as its identity provider.

Worked on a NodeJS backend service that provides developers with a versioned persistence service which leverages JSON patches for JSON store, with support for all major filetypes. The persistence service simulates a filesystem and allows individual objects to be modified with a built-in mechanism to share changes on a hierarchical structure. The service is RFC6902 compliant and is written in Typescript, deployed on Kubernetes, and powered by AWS DynamoDB.

Worked on a microservice architecture serving Splunk in a cloud environment for customers. Designed and developed services with various AWS tools and services, including, but not limited to, SWF, RDS, Lambdas, EC2, Cloudformation, DynamoDB, S3, IAM. Maintained and supported the CI/CD pipeline serviced on top of Jenkins and Ansible.
