• Designed and implemented a feature for Docker containerized software to deploy and run on 700+ customer machines to achieve a more secure, reliable and scalable satellite data distribution architecture over secure TCP and SFTP connections. Integrated client software with rsyslog, ZooKeeper, and Qpid

• Developed a website using Django to allow hundreds of customers to request off-cycle changes to their connection configuration, saving our site operators the time and effort to implement these changes themselves. Used Nginx as a reverse proxy and to allow secure HTTP connection

• Improved the validation process of 500+ configuration files in an XML database by writing an XML parser in Python, catching 20+ customer connection errors and saving the team 10+ hours of faulty manual validation every month when changes are entered

• Showcased 5 technical demos for system status GUIs with Kibana and Docker containerized client software in a test environment to stakeholders and customers for the final signoff and completion of 5 major features

• Headed performance improvement initiative on our Elastic Stack to reduce storage size of Elasticsearch database by 25% and optimized data lifecycle for 60% less indices and 80% faster database queries. Automated setup with Ansible

• Maintained and enhanced mission critical features in C++ and Python by conducting code reviews, writing unit tests for 90% coverage, developing automated tests, and collaborated with site operators for 4 software releases

• Built an HTTP Ruby on Rails web service to connect a mature Ruby on Rails codebase to Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter’s RESTful APIs allowing customers to interact with their social media

• Designed the front end UX/UI using React and Bootstrap to create a positive customer experience while they interact with the web service while collaborating with the Design Team and Head of Engineering

• Investigated Docker in a Linux environment for use in running 200+ tests in parallel to cut down on test execution time and isolate environment breaking test failures

• Integrated Docker into existing Jenkins testing architecture using Dockerfiles and Docker Compose
