Team Overview: Lead routing and security for outbound PSTN voice calls, optimizing carrier selection for call completion while enforcing global regulatory compliance and fraud prevention.
Core Impact & Achievements:
Systems Resilience & High Availability
Architected an End-to-End Resiliency Strategy; authored the company-wide "Resilience by Design" playbook for load shedding and backpressure.
Implemented adaptive load-shedding (AIMD algorithm) across core voice services, successfully stabilizing the platform during Sev0 traffic surges.
Designed a Quality of Service (QoS) system to prioritize retail traffic over wholesale during peak events, ensuring critical SLAs remain intact.
Developed a "Degraded Mode" fail-open architecture for attestation services, ensuring 99.99%+ availability during downstream outages.
Platform Modernization & Cloud Infrastructure
Led the zero-downtime migration of configuration databases from self-managed MySQL to AWS Aurora for 8 distinct service roles.
Spearheaded the containerization of the Neustar stack, migrating legacy services to Amazon Linux 2023 and modernizing task scheduling.
Upgraded core services to Java 21 and modernized CI/CD pipelines to Buildkite with specialized Maven plugins.
Global Compliance & Security
Engineered a Transit Caller ID Restriction framework to meet international regulations (ACMA, ANATEL), protecting $80M+ in global revenue.
Developed a High-Capacity Failover system that automatically quarantines unhealthy carrier endpoints, reducing manual intervention.
Integrated STIR/SHAKEN attestation filtering for Tier-1 US peering trunks (Verizon/AT&T).
Operational Excellence
Transformed the Do Not Originate (DNO) platform into a self-service UI for Compliance Ops, eliminating weekly engineering toil.
Achieved the first production integration of Amazon MSK (Kafka) for Proxy Core (US-East), enabling real-time analytics for outbound routing.
