## Work Experience
### Senior Software Engineer @ Okta, Inc.
Jan 2020 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area
Fall, Winter 2023: 
- Make transitional changes for cell infra architecture -- e.g. ensure that periodic / cron jobs would be replicated consistently across environments (and could be specified cleanly), ensure that there was service / config parity between old and new infra  
- Make Datadog Monitor pattern that could also be applied across cells 
- Worked on pod deployment health check

Summer 2023:
- Got up to speed on new cell infra architecture, followed patterns to instantiate production cell (staging and testing had already been created) 
- Worked on various improvements across environments / cells 

Spring 2023: 
- Achieve Datadog parity with Prometheus (which entailed adding full tracing, metrics support to between 10-15 services, many of which were quite complex)  

Fall, Winter 2022: 
- Begin process of swapping observability stack from Prometheus to Datadog 
- Polished hackathon project for Support Dashboard, shipped it

June 2022: 
- Publish PAM Terraform Provider (https://github.com/okta/terraform-provider-oktapam)   

Spring 2022: 
- Begin work on PAM Terraform Provider
- Improvements to existing services (Job, CA), features (Server Discovery), and Tilt-based development environment (these kinds of improvements occur in the background constantly, simply because I had a lot of context of these services). 

Fall, Winter 2021: 
- Frontend and UX of Server Discovery feature 
- In hackathon used existing customer Dashboard frontend patterns for Support Dashboard. Achieved parity during the hackathon (pretty proud of that given how much functionality there was in Support). Net effect was that shared code lowered the barrier to entry to extending Support. 

Summer 2021: 
- Design of Server Discovery feature (adding several jobs that together automatically detect new customer AWS servers) 
- Implement backend logic 

Spring 2021:
- Extending and improving CA and Job Services
- Polish Tilt-based development environment from prior hackathon, shipped it
