STRENGTHS

       
Production Ownership

During regional events, failure controls and health signals kept tier one services stable. Teams gained confidence in live operations.

Distributed Systems

Tenant configuration and discovery work made cross cluster state dependable. Peers often sought advice on consistency and latency choices.

Technical Leadership

Architecture reviews used prototypes and service data to build agreement. Tough decisions became clearer for engineers and stakeholders.

Incident Response

A recurring failure became monitors, runbooks, tests, and backlog work. That practical loop improved follow through after incidents.

Delivery Discipline

Terraform modules, deployment checks, and release verification brought more consistency. Safer changes made daily delivery feel manageable.

MY CAREER

    
6.1Years
  • Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure at BlueMesa Cloudworks (2.6 Years)
  • Software Engineer II at Redwood Platform Labs (2 Years)
  • Software Engineer at Granite Peak Software (1.5 Years)

SUMMARY

Senior software engineer with six years building, shipping, and operating distributed cloud infrastructure and security sensitive services. Works across Java and Go, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Linux, SQL, NoSQL, networking, observability, and incident response. Current work centers on multi tenant gateway services that protect business critical workloads through policy enforcement, traffic routing, failure isolation, retry controls, backpressure, and health management. Leads architecture reviews, production investigations, and incremental modernization using operational data and practical prototypes. Career growth includes full software development lifecycle ownership, from object oriented design and implementation through deployment, testing, live site diagnosis, and post incident improvement. Brings clear technical communication and steady ownership to mission critical systems where reliability, security, performance, and customer impact must guide every decision.

EXPERIENCE

Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure

BlueMesa Cloudworks
 February 2024 - Present
 Austin, Texas

Owns architecture, implementation, deployment, and live operation for multi tenant gateway services across a distributed cloud control plane. Provides technical direction on security, scalability, reliability, and incremental platform change while coaching engineers through production ownership.

  • Architected Java and Go gateway services for tenant traffic policy, improving isolation across cloud workloads
  • Built Kubernetes services with Terraform environments, giving teams repeatable deployment and safer infrastructure changes
  • Added retry, backpressure, and health controls during regional events, preserving tier one service behavior
  • Traced HTTP, DNS, TCP/IP, Linux, container, and database failures into monitors and operational runbooks
  • Led architecture reviews with prototypes and service data, building consensus around security and scalability changes
  • Coached engineers through on call readiness, code reviews, and post incident learning for stronger ownership

Software Engineer II

Redwood Platform Labs
 January 2022 - January 2024
 Denver, Colorado

Delivered distributed platform services for tenant configuration and service discovery across clusters and availability zones. Owned features from design through production operation, combining container orchestration, infrastructure as code, data access, troubleshooting, testing, and release verification.

  • Built Java services for tenant configuration and discovery, coordinating state across clusters and availability zones
  • Containerized platform components with Docker and Kubernetes, adding readiness checks for dependency failures
  • Created Terraform modules for networking, compute, and service dependencies across development and production
  • Diagnosed Linux, DNS, routing, and TCP issues through logs, metrics, traces, and system tools
  • Selected SQL and NoSQL indexing patterns using latency, consistency, durability, and operational requirements
  • Delivered releases with automated tests, dashboards, runbooks, and post deployment verification for production confidence

Software Engineer

Granite Peak Software
 June 2020 - December 2021
 Boise, Idaho

Developed object oriented Java services and internal APIs, supporting production delivery through testing, container operations, incident investigation, database changes, and operational documentation. Built practical foundations for dependable software ownership across application and infrastructure boundaries.

  • Developed object oriented Java services and internal APIs, translating product needs into tested production interfaces
  • Implemented HTTP integrations with asynchronous processing, protecting workflows from variable latency dependencies
  • Maintained Docker environments and Kubernetes deployments, addressing configuration, resource, and health constraints
  • Investigated Linux incidents through logs, network behavior, database queries, and deployment changes
  • Added SQL schema migrations and NoSQL access paths with rollback tests for safer releases
  • Expanded unit, integration, and service tests while documenting procedures for production ownership

PROJECTS

Multi Tenant Gateway Reliability
 2024

Created a reliability improvement program for gateway services using failure isolation, retry controls, backpressure, health checks, and operational data. The work connected architecture decisions with safer production behavior during dependency degradation and regional events.

Infrastructure Delivery Standardization
 2023

Built reusable Terraform modules and Kubernetes delivery checks for networking, compute, service dependencies, and realistic readiness conditions. The effort gave engineering teams repeatable environments and clearer release verification across development and production.

LEADERSHIP & AWARDS

  • Recognized by engineering leadership for guiding secure gateway architecture through data driven design reviews.
  • Selected as a trusted production partner after resolving recurring Linux, networking, and service reliability issues.
  • Earned peer recognition for coaching engineers through on call readiness and post incident learning.
