Staff Platform Engineer
A developer platform that abstracts away infrastructure and operational concerns so engineers can focus solely on writing code. In contrast, the platform team manages everything else needed to get applications to production.
- Deployed and automated a microservices infrastructure for a fast food enterprise, building a GitOps-based self-service digital platform on Amazon EKS and Amazon ECS running 10 Kubernetes clusters, 100+ microservices, and 200+ repositories.
- Provisioned the underlying AWS footprint as code using Terraform and Terragrunt, standardizing environment creation across 15 engineering teams and eliminating manual provisioning.
- Built the delivery layer and automated operational tooling in Python and Typescript, reducing deployment lead time for platform consumer teams.
- Instrumented the platform with Datadog dashboards, monitors, and alerts, reducing mean time to detect production incidents.
- Engineered resilient AWS and Kubernetes infrastructure and implemented autoscaling and DNS resiliency improvements during critical production incidents.
- Deployed and operated a self-service Apache Airflow platform on Kubernetes, enabling data teams to ship their own DAGs by pull request.
- Built an LLM-based log analysis stage into CI/CD pipelines using AWS Bedrock and Python to detect failures and summarize root causes.
- Built the monitoring and observability stack for an early-stage AI startup using Prometheus and Grafana, and owned AWS and GCP infrastructure as code with Terraform and Python.
- Rebuilt the Infrastructure as Code foundation for an agricultural company using AWS CDK in Python and standardized Kubernetes clusters under a GitOps workflow.
- Deployed and maintained blockchain node networks using Amazon EKS, Amazon S3, Pulumi, Typescript, and GitHub Actions.
