Lead development of AWS integration infrastructure powering telemetry ingestion, metadata enrichment, and regional deployment systems for enterprise-scale customer environments. Drive cross-team initiatives to standardize infrastructure, improve reliability, and accelerate delivery of new regions and services.
Led org-wide automation for provisioning isolated AWS regions, standardizing configuration, deployment, scaling, and monitoring across teams. Reduced new region launch time from weeks to 1–2 days and enabled repeatable, reliable expansion into new geographic regions
Owned and executed migration of AWS metadata ingestion workers across 6 production data centers, implementing validation systems and rollout safeguards to achieve near-zero downtime while reducing infrastructure costs by 67%
Coordinated cross-team migration of high-volume ingestion services to a new secure data access framework, aligning multiple platform teams, resolving ownership gaps, and unblocking technical challenges to enable early production rollout and streamline future adoption
Led deployment of telemetry ingestion services into a new data center, establishing scalable deployment processes and enabling onboarding of enterprise customers in a new region
Identified inconsistencies in AWS resource tagging across teams and drove redesign of metadata ingestion pipeline, introducing standardized interfaces and improved failure reporting to increase reliability and data quality
Implemented granular access control systems for AWS integrations, enabling large enterprise customers to securely manage monitoring and log collection across hundreds of cloud accounts
