Six-month intensive, full-time, hands-on, fast-moving and rigorous study of software engineering. Emphasis is placed on building database driven applications, and working with other students while immersed in new and challenging material.
Key contributor in planning, designing, architecting, and rollout to multiple environments of multi region/ multi cluster Service Mesh within our Kubernetes Ecosystem:
Tech Lead in modernizing Edge architecture, which includes:
MLOps:
Build reliable, resilient, and immutable infrastructure and networking components:
Responsible for owning creation, maintenance, and mastery of lower level networking which includes:
Main point of contact and Lead for working with stakeholders with regards to 3rd party vendor integrations; which includes determining project feasibility, timeline, requirements, planning, communication, and technical implementation.
Work closely with SRE to ensure reliability of infrastructure and proper capturing of necessary metrics (4 Golden Signals) by building monitoring, alerting, and logging around infrastructure resources.
Planned, developed, and created automated tooling infrastructure for end-to-end tests and procedures.
Was able to lead a small SRE team, where responsibilities could range from optimizing existing infrastructure to supporting removing technical debt and preventing future incidents, tracking core metrics and solving bottlenecks proactively, building and/ or improving tools and features that refine or enhance sustainability, monitoring, and logging.
Built and/or enhanced developer tooling and features that refine or improve sustainability, reliability, availability, and redundancy through monitoring, logging, automation, and DevOps tooling for continuity and speed of product development and delivery.
Optimized existing and new infrastructure for micro-services architecture to support removing technical debt, preventing future incidents, and resolving RCAs with focus on customer value and risk reduction as well as defining SLO's.
Had a strong focus on system reliability and availably through optimizing existing and new infrastructure for large micro-services architecture, with focus on revenue producing key transactions which must be always available.
Codify operations and automate delivery of products, and eliminate toil.
Worked with various Engineering teams to decouple dependencies, and assist in the creation of fully automated immutable infrastructure based on the team's needs.
Participated and consulted in sprint planning, design, storyboarding, and deployment of all new features, architecture decisions, and system design.
Assisted in making systems more resilient, reliable, and scalable in a fast paced start-up environment, as well as increased application's test coverage by 40%.
Led new feature implementation(s) Including:
Cleared backlog of known bugs for web scraper and multitude of API integrations.
Refactored client side Javascript to better manage state and increase performance, as well as for optimization of code and code re-usability (DRY).
Managed redirection of BMG deals by building a thorough plan to implement with high attention to detail. Increased automation of process, therefore increasing number of notices sent and yearly income received as a result of redirection from $800k to over $1.5 million.
Acted as Project Manager in working with developers for multiple projects from inception to implementation and roll out.
Successfully wrote scripts and used third party services to call the various API’s, extracting data to better access song meta-data for specific departmental needs.
Took initiative to teach myself Python for the purposes of writing various scripts for ETL, data ingestion and transformation, data analysis, and statistical purposes.
Worked with large amounts of data to regularly access, manipulate, and extract data from database systems like Hadoop, using software like Tableau, and open- source SQL engines like Apache Hive and Impala, as well as query assistants like Hue.
Continued to work closely with, and was lead analyst on multiple projects with creative management on potential deals by performing pipeline analysis to determine the value of specific artist, entity, or catalog for advance, purchase, or acquisition.
Continued to manage client inquiries using JIRA.
PyTn is hosted at Nashville School of Law and is is a yearly regional Python conference that is a developer-focused Python conference with talk topics running the gamut between beginner and advanced, and from web development to data science and machine learning. I was responsible for possibly the most important part of the conference--giving the speakers the help they needed and keeping the conference moving smoothly. I participated in helping in set-up, tear down, checking guests in, and moving items as necessary.
The Music City Tech conference is held at Nossi College of Art in Nashville, TN and is a conference that caters to developers and touches on all aspects of software and website development. The Conference is focused on quality over quantity, with three sub-conferences: Music City Code, Music City Agile, and Music City Data. As a volunteer, I was responsible for set-up before the conference and checking guests in, as well as catering to the speakers, making sure they had what they needed for their talks, getting them set up for their talks, as well as any duty necessary to make sure the conference ran as smoothly as possible.
Worked closely with community chair to to recruit speakers, volunteers, and visitors for the conference.
