° Architected reusable agentic LLM scanning of software output to detect leaks of contextually sensitive/secret material, including from dependencies.

° Optimized database indices/queries, deployment, and caching strategies to achieve hot path API throughput >5x higher than throughput SLA.

° From browser to database, I write, design, and help lead our team in creating performant, secure, observable, scalable, properly tested, and innovative software.

° Tech Lead with a team of 3 Senior Engineers owning significant breadth over platform administration of ABAC authz policy over TDF, key management, content handling, and platform extensibility/governance.

° I derisk project goals and define timelines by proving out system designs and new feature implementations before breaking them down into meaningful scopes of work.

° I scale impact and velocity by propagating knowledge/documentation throughout the Engineering organization to break down silos, spend attention on DX to reduce friction, and encourage best practices.

° I collaborate with our Architects to translate high-level product/engineering needs into sequenced and ownable work.

° Open Source key contributor to OpenTDF platform for data-centric security: https://github.com/opentdf/platform

° Open Source key contributor 'otdfctl' (administration UX of the platform): https://github.com/opentdf/otdfctl

° Contributor to various proprietary and premium product offerings built on top of the open platform

° Technologies: Go, PostgreSQL, gRPC, Buf, Docker, Github Actions, Cobra, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc

° Key member of a cross-team effort to upgrade our authentication protocol to OpenID Connect (OIDC) impacting and leading several company-wide architecture decisions resulting in a clean, scalable, secure, easy-to-adopt implemented system design supporting several disparate products

° Continuously stewarded our feature flagging efforts as usage expands throughout our Engineering organization

° Leader in bringing enhanced observability tooling to our front-end applications in a secure, scalable, cost-effective, and powerful manner resulting in improved experiences for Customer Support, Product, Engineering, and UX teams (including one key product several million sessions per month)

° Engaged and active contributor to Architecture, Security, Design System, and various Engineering Guild discussions

° Built and maintained multiple reusable GitHub Actions for usage across code base CI/CD pipelines

° Key contributor to the effort to migrate various internal JavaScript and TypeScript libraries from standalone repo's to a monorepo with a shared CI pipeline with the eventual goal of saving hundreds of engineering hours per year spent upgrading dependencies and resolving vulnerabilities

° Virtru hackathon People's Choice winning team member with a dynamic, generative AI-powered, schema-driven, product proof of concept

° Architected a new search microservice in Go, designing and implementing publicly exposed API with concurrency, integration with existing CI/CD and k8s infrastructure, production readiness, and ongoing performance monitoring

° Winner of a quarterly engineering award to recognize outstanding technical contributions

° Led an effort to evaluate paid and open source accessibility testing tools, then implemented e2e accessibility tests within the CI/CD pipeline for two products

° Utilized React, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.js, Go, and various YAML/config and script languages to support new feature development, bug fixes, and support of legacy codebase across multiple applications

° Spearheaded a feature-flagging SaaS-vendor evaluation, then built the internal company-wide process documentation and governance including the use of OpenFeature

° Hosted a feature flags knowledge-share across engineering/product/design orgs about best & worst practices of feature flags to minimize tech debt and utilize flags effectively

° Built a performant and optimization-focused caching dev tool for apps using GraphQL with a server running Oak/Deno with caching at the resolver-level to allow modularity and abstract away complexity

° Worked with Deno as an exciting alternative to Node with stronger security, native TypeScript, top-level await and ability to meaningfully contribute to a growing ecosystem without existing robust support

° Utilized TypeScript to develop the tool with strong, static typing for a more maintainable, scalable code base and useful IntelliSense to assist both our tool’s users during implementation and future contributors during development

° Architected DenoStore for use with Oak to leverage its middleware design pattern and popularity for maximum utility

° Incorporated Redis for the caching functionality of the DenoStore tool, taking advantage of its efficient in-memory storage resulting in incredibly performant API/server calls, reduction in total calls to external API’s from server due to cache, and excellent speed optimization along with optional cache expiration functionality

° Designed caching tool for and with GraphQL because of its strong query schema for clarity of data shape and type between client and server, and solution to over- and under-fetching data all at a single route endpoint

° Developed tool’s demo website in React for its client-side rendering React-Router, reusable components, state hooks

° Strongly typed app state, component props, and functionality of demo site components with TypeScript in React for improved readability and maintainability for future contributors

° Containerized demonstration web app with Docker to deploy Deno server and DenoStore cache

° Configured Webpack during buildout of DenoStore demo web app for hot module reloading on update

° Utilized D3.js library to build query time reduction demonstration visual to auto-scale and update with user interaction

° Developed DenoStore under the open source tech accelerator OSLabs
