### Senior Site Reliability Engineer @ Patreon
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco Bay Area
- Brought much of our AWS infrastructure into version control by introducing Terraform to our stack and writing utilities to
facilitate easier management of our services and our cloud resources.
- Improved the speed and reliability of our release process by adding safety checks into our Circle CI workflows and introducing
build artifacts to our backend release process.
- Improved the observability and maintainability of our Zookeeper and Kafka clusters by adding instrumentation and writing
documentation. I created client code in our application and promoted best practices for using these services.

### Senior Software Engineer @ Patreon
Jan 2017 – Jan 2018 | San Francisco, California
- Designed and implemented a distributed asynchronous task processing framework using Zookeeper, Redis, SQS, and S3. Its
features include dynamic reconfiguration, rate limiting, and test utilities that make it easier to not mix up synchronous with
asynchronous code.
- Collaborated closely with the data science team to design and build the data pipeline for getting application events into
Redshift (via Kafka, Secor, and S3). I helped design an experimentation framework that supported multiple randomization
units, two or more variants, and safe ramping up/down.
– Mentored engineers and non-engineers in areas like design patterns, observability, and incident response

### Software Engineer @ Patreon
