Hired to solve specific testing architecture scaling challenge for Alexa and Amazon on 80,000+ devices for Cruise Ships, Hotel Resorts, Homes and Parks.

It was very challenging finding all the data we needed to power Alexa. Executive decisions were made against allowing currated content. I left them with a solution and strong recommendation to invest in sensors and hardware including hardware for the engineers.

Leading on code.

I did work for private side of the NSA for Amazon Gov Cloud and Booz Allen Hamilton through a startup that was later sold for $300M after running out of runway.

Worked on AWS GovCloud for private side of the NSA for Amazon as a preferred partner through a startup funded by In-Q-Tel which is the private equity fund for NSA and CIA related investments.

We had a private deal to scan all of Amazon's infrastructure for cyber security and were heavily tied into the InfoSec community.

Amazon had offered us $20M but leadership turned it down. They sold later after I was already working on a new opportunity.

Example Work: Built a PDF cyber security export compliance reporting system for 1000+ page reports on a backend processing 20,000 messages per minute.

The startup later exited for $300M to Palo Alto Networks.

Worked in banking, data centers, startups in roles from Senior Engineer to Manager.
