2023-Present Experimentation platform.

2021-2023 Tech Lead on the Returnly Infra team. All things infra.

Early employee at seed stage startup focusing on talent risk management.

• Architected and built analytics backend on Elastic.

• Automated data ingestion on Airflow.

• Built essential data integrations that allowed us to close the first few customers and seed funding.

• Instituted engineering best practices: architecture design docs, automated testing, logging, and alerting.

I decided to take a sabbatical starting in Oct 2019. I wanted to spend some time strategizing, learning, and exploring potential roles that might fit as the next big step in my career. In that respect, it seems like it was pretty productive!

I also enjoyed spending more time with friends and family, cultivating new hobbies, and simply getting some R&R.

Log Search (Observability):

• Log indexing service used throughout Uber Engineering. Built and scaled several components of the stack, with a focus on data ingestion.

• Built infrastructure to orchestrate thousands of varying data streams across 10k streaming data pipeline instances (Logstash) ingesting log data at 2.5GB/sec.

• Built infrastructure to automate new customer onboarding: reducing weekly on-call engineer toil and reducing turnaround time from 7d to hours or minutes.

• Instructed over 1000 new engineers about the importance of observability and the available tooling during new-hire onboarding.

Elastic Stack as a Service:

• Built Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana infrastructure, monitoring, and self-service tooling to 30+ engineering teams.

• Designed and implemented multiple key components.

• Key point of contact for both teammates and stakeholders across multiple projects. Led several efforts within the team.

• Mentored more junior engineers on their projects.
