• Backend software engineer in Software Engineering (SWE) org

• Owned web service which processed 100 logs/second coming off device 24x7

• Owned Jenkins batch job service processing 1000 batch jobs per day

• Led our transition from on-prem to cloud based Kubernetes deployments

• Built CICD pipelines to support cloud migration, automated unit testing and linting

• Created an integration test suite for the web service. Created a culture of test driven development (TDD) and code reviews. Created a playbook for the team and our sibling SRE team to handle production incidents

• Refactored web service code base to support batched API calls thus reducing cross data center networking and speeding up log processing by 20%

• Built and migrated new backend API across 3 webservices to speed up log processing by 10% and transitioned 93% of calls to old endpoint to new endpoint.

• Split apart our monolith into 5 separate services and migrated 2 of them from Python2 to Python3

• Tech stack - Python, Flask APIs, SQL, Kubernetes, Docker, Docker, Grafana, Hubble, Splunk, Jenkins, Object Store
