<p>Full-stack engineering for a 3D printing creator economy organization, currently focused on integrations, infrastructure, and automation.</p>

Principal Software Engineer

<ul><li>Observe ALL THE THINGS (by way of Grafana, Prometheus, Thanos, graphite, statsd, Kubernetes, Amazon Web Services Elastic Kubernetes Service/CloudFormation, and more).</li><li>Participate in the &quot;triage&quot; sprint rotations (one week of answering questions directed at Observability and resolving &quot;working hours&quot; incidents).</li></ul>

Senior Platform & Infrastructure Developer - Observability

<ul><li>Freelance consulting on everything from system building to network installation; app development to automation; illustration to audio production.</li><li>Legendary Wisdom represents all of my various skills: maker, builder, geek, poet...</li></ul>

Operator / Consultant

<ul><li>Working on the Developer Experience team, my primary work centered around automated documentation for the IoT platform. We achieved this using novel publishing techniques, automating beautiful, functional documentation generation for repositories across the organization.</li><li>Early in my time at Yonomi, I repaired a long-failing automation feature originally implemented by a long-departed developer, dramatically increasing the trust in and support for the DX team across the organization.</li></ul>

Senior Software Engineer - TypeScript, Flutter, Hugo, bash

<ul><li>I assisted the CTO in his work building updating mustache templates and backing Ruby code for the next generation of internal tooling wrapping the API for our support team.</li><li>I ramped up rusty Ruby skills to help serve the startup-paced team to the best of my ability. This often came with updating “onboarding” documentation that was missing or outdated, or writing “setup” scripts to offload tasks prone to human error during that process.</li></ul>

Senior Software Engineer - Ruby on Rails, rspec, capybara, bash

<ul><li>I reduced the company’s outsized AWS spend by an order of magnitude through better management of cloud assets, deployment practices, and other streamlining.</li><li>I engineered a Consul/Traefik-fronted Docker Swarm (AWS EC2) using custom images from a self-hosted private registry, with deployment triggered by CI, for the company’s WordPress sites.</li><li>I deployed and maintained self-hosted Jenkins and Sonarqube, along with associated “infrastructure as code” (terraform, make), for CI/CD and code quality improvement.</li><li>I developed and deployed numerous node.js APIs for provision of critical data to diverse services as well as a C#.NET Windows Forms application for “single-click” harvesting of Excel worksheet data from a remote system into a node.js API’s SQLite data store.</li></ul>

Senior Software Architect - Web, WordPress, Amazon Web Services, Docker, CI/CD, DevEx, DevOps, mentorship
