@danielforsyth
Systems Development Engineer specializing in automation, Python scripting, and cloud infrastructure.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Systems Development Engineer with 6+ years of experience automating manual workflows, building CI/CD pipelines, and improving operational infrastructure at scale. I specialize in Python scripting to convert repetitive tasks into maintainable, auditable automation.
My work includes vendor segmentation across hundreds of sites, dramatically reducing processing times, and designing AWS-based solutions that removed onsite servers while cutting operational costs. I deliver data validation, transformation, and integrity assurance as part of robust automation playbooks.
I collaborate closely with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to troubleshoot, monitor, and continuously improve systems, applying infrastructure-as-code and secure access patterns. I have practical experience with AWS services, CDK, TypeScript frontends, and Django backends to accelerate development and deployment.
I hold a master's in Cyber Security, multiple AWS and Cisco certifications, and a strong commitment to operational excellence, security compliance, and measurable efficiency gains in fast-paced environments.
