Seattle, Washington, United States
I am a Backend Software Engineer with eight years of industry experience. I am currently living in Seattle. I am currently seeking job opportunities! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I would love to get in touch! Skills: ❖ Go, Python, Java, Bash, SQL, JavaScript, C++ ❖ Cloud Platforms : AWS, GCP ❖ Infrastructure / DevOps : Nginx, Kubernetes, Gitlab, Docker, Linux, Terraform, Jenkins ❖ Frontend Web Development : React, Bootstrap, Angular, JQuery, HTML, CSS ❖ NoSQL : Redis, FireBase, Datastore ❖ Microservices, API Development, Distributed Systems, Web Security
Volterra Distributed Cloud, Nginx API config Manager, Nginx Controller, and Project Blue have all been initiatives of F5 to modernize networking solutions from physical on-premise products to Cloud-based infrastructure (split across multiple providers) managed by a controller with a containerized microservice architecture. API Config Manager was a bit more specialized and was essentially a REST API wrapper/facade that used JSON to more easily understand and manage the state of nginx config files for a fleet of nginx+ instances. Volterra Distributed Cloud (April 2023 - November 2024) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technologies : Go, gRPC ❖ Collaborated with UX designers and frontend developers to design and implement a complex backend API for a metrics dashboard for load balancers. ❖ Found and fixed bugs in server framework libraries using a debugger. ❖ Analyzed performance metrics on backend code using golang profiler in order to find and eliminate bottlenecks and optimize inefficient code. Nginx API Config Manager (April 2020 - April 2023) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technologies : Go, OpenAPI, PostgreSQL ❖ Designed and implemented an adapter which automatically generates njs (javascript) and acts as a soap-to-rest proxy on nginx servers. ❖ Added support for health check nginx directives through a JSON API. ❖ Converted legacy backend services from python into golang, including integration tests and database handler code with ORMs. ❖ Advocated for secure-by-default design in new features.
Nginx Controller (June 2019 - April 2020) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technologies : Go, Kubernetes, OpenAPI, PostgreSQL ❖ Investigated and experimented with several postgres-compatible ORMs in Golang, analyzed and compared results, and presented findings. ❖ Designed APIs and implemented services for managing configurations across cloud providers. ❖ Introduced a common server framework for validating requests and building responses, wrote tutorials with examples, and personally coached other developers with implementation. Project Blue (May 2018 - June 2019) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Technologies : Go, Kubernetes, AWS, Gitlab, Bash, Python, gRPC, Terraform ❖ Implemented a microservice from scratch as an infrastructure-as-code facade for other services. ❖ Fixed race conditions in a microservice framework in Golang by adding locks. ❖ Refactored a containerized API binding generation command-line tool written in Bash to operate 80X faster and integrate into CI pipelines. ❖ Pioneered conversion of integration tests from Bash to a containerized infrastructure with common libraries in Python using pytest. ❖ Researched solutions to microservice dependency issues and presented the findings to the team, impacting the direction of the project. ❖ Prototyped infrastructure for backward-compatibility contract testing for Protocol Buffers. ❖ Found, debugged, and fixed Terraform issues with an infrastructure scaling controller.
Software Engineering Residency is a full-time, year-long program broken up into two six-month rotations where recent graduates are placed on teams in two different products or domains. Google Cloud Platform - Deployment Manager Service -------------------------------------------------- Technologies : Google Cloud Platform, Python, Java, Protocol Buffers, Mockito Deployment Manager is GCP's Infrastructure-As-Code service (like CloudFormation for AWS). Users can deploy a complex infrastructure of GCP resources from configuration files instead of creating each manually. I worked on both the command-line interface (Python) and the backend (Java). ❖ Reworked a cloud service’s data model and transaction pipeline to store auto-generated deployment outputs, then coordinated a phased rollout with frontend engineers and tech writers. ❖ Modified GCP’s gcloud command-line tool to let users deploy remote config files more easily. ❖ Configured a Jenkins server to continuously run a testing suite of live PaaS deployments in order to check for breaking changes in Deployment Manager and API changes in underlying services. ❖ Found and fixed an error causing the CLI to return successful error codes for failed commands. ❖ Found over a dozen errors in public documentation and code samples, and coordinated fixes both as an author and reviewer. Chrome - Site Isolation -------------------------------------------------- Technologies : C++, JavaScript The Site Isolation team makes Chrome more secure by moving a website’s data into a separate process from its nested IFrames (a webpage within a webpage). ❖ Increased security by moving Iframes within devtools extensions outside of the devtools process. ❖ Fixed broken external protocol links (like 'mailto:') in out-of-process Iframes. ❖ Refactored Chrome to prevent infinite loops in pages that nest each other within Iframes. ❖ Discovered and fixed an error that granted all Chrome extensions restricted devtools permissions.
❖ Configured an AMI using Packer and Ansible to run a code analysis tool with Jenkins that pulls the company-wide BitBucket Git repository and offers readability suggestions. ❖ Reworked a cloud monitoring Python app using Flask and PostgreSQL through SQLAlchemy to offer additional metrics on builds in different environments.
Technologies : SQLServer DB, Google Maps JS API, Twilio API Fitzmark is a third-party logistics company. I worked on an internal product / application that helps the sales team match up trucks with goods to be shipped, then helps them manage the transactions. ❖ Integrated an application with the Twilio API to make automated phone calls. ❖ Embedded a map-rendering feature in an application using the Google Maps JS API. ❖ Added functionality for importing data from Excel files into a SQLServer DB. ❖ Wrote programs to aggregate data and then generate reports and invoices.
