2023 — Now
As a Principal Engineer, I have driven innovation by transforming legacy systems originally built in C++ and C into modern web frameworks and technologies. I have led cross-functional teams to design, develop, and maintain scalable, secure cloud infrastructures on AWS, Kubernetes, and OpenShift using a diverse tech stack including Python, C++, Golang, TypeScript, Java, and C#. My work spans developing RESTful APIs, automating deployments with Ansible, Docker, and Terraform, and integrating advanced AI/ML algorithms—such as in the Bounty Hunter project, which enhanced satellite communications security through sophisticated interference detection. Additionally, I have extensive experience implementing MLOps practices and rigorous CI/CD pipelines to ensure optimal performance, scalability, and security in both DoD and commercial environments.
2021 — 2023
At INTURN I operated as a platform engineering leader who was responsible for the performance, scalability, security, and stability of INTURN's infrastructure. I was responsible for designing, building, deploying, and maintaining the infrastructure on AWS. Creating tools to automate and scale the infrastructure. Maintain stability and uptime through best practices of distributed systems. And last but not least, designing the architecture of INTURN's infrastructure with security in mind.
