About

Engineering Leader in Infrastructure and Platform Engineering focused on cost efficient scalability and reliability As an engineering leader with a strong background in full-cycle development, I specialize in building and maintaining distributed systems that are scalable, resilient, and secure. My expertise spans cloud and infrastructure technologies, with a focus on AWS and Azure, alongside extensive experience in disaster recovery planning and execution. I lead teams with a code-first approach to problem-solving, ensuring that solutions are efficient and maintainable from the ground up. I am also a firm believer in first principles thinking, breaking down complex challenges to their fundamental truths and innovating from there. Originally a full-stack developer, my career has evolved into a leadership role centered on systems, networking, and large-scale infrastructure. I have successfully guided teams in managing infrastructures that handle over 10 million requests per minute, maintaining high availability and performance. Leadership and Technical Expertise: - Infrastructure & Systems Management: Leading teams in Kubernetes adoption, including operator and CI/CD pipeline development. - Clustering & Orchestration: Expertise in guiding the use of Kubernetes, Mesos, Marathon, Chronos, and containerization technologies. - Programming: Proficient in driving development using Python, Golang, C, and JavaScript. - Configuration Management: Experienced in implementing and managing Chef and Ansible. - Monitoring & Observability: Leading the deployment of monitoring solutions with Prometheus, Grafana, Thanos, and Graphite. - Disaster Recovery & Distributed Systems: Specialized in developing robust disaster recovery strategies for distributed systems to ensure resilience and rapid recovery. - Code-First Problem Solving & First Principles Thinking: Advocate for a code-first approach, coupled with a commitment to first principles thinking to tackle challenges at their core. - Additional Tools: Proficient in Terraform, Jenkins, and Rundeck. I am passionate about empowering teams to leverage cutting-edge tools and methodologies, driving the creation of distributed, high-performance systems with robust disaster recovery capabilities, while always approaching challenges with a code-first and first principles mindset.
