What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters innovation and allows me to leverage my software development and DevOps expertise to drive impactful solutions.

As a Senior Software Engineer with over 15 years of experience, I have honed my skills in software development and DevOps, specializing in microservices and cloud infrastructure. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including the development of standardized infrastructure to facilitate a transition to microservices at Domino Data Lab. I also successfully integrated the Dragos platform with Fortinet Firewall using the ELK stack, showcasing my ability to bridge complex systems and enhance operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have consistently delivered results that drive innovation and improve technology solutions. At Domino Data Lab, I played a pivotal role in creating discovery and design documents, implementing CI pipelines in CircleCI, and optimizing AWS EKS-based remote development environments. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to lower costs and improve developer productivity through the development of essential tooling and automation scripts.
