I am the technical lead for the FinOps program at Sumo Logic.

• Responsible for devising and implementing cloud rate-optimization strategy

• Responsible for reliability and accuracy of FinOps data pipelines

• Collaborates closely with FP&A team to understand company strategy and roadmap around cloud financial targets

Since Fall 2022, I teach Web Programming in the Fall semester and Web Applications in the Spring semester.

Web programming focuses on the fundamentals of server-rendered websites using PHP and MySQL on the backend, and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (progressive enhancing) on the frontend.

Web Applications focuses on single page applications leveraging full stack JavaScript with React on the frontend and Express on the backend.

Spring 2022:

CSCI446 Web Applications

Rebuilt the curriculum for the Spring 2022 semester and taught the course.

Fall 2021:

CSCI370 Advanced Software Engineering

I advised a couple teams of students on their capstone projects for this class.

I researched and executed on projects designed to reduce our overall cloud spend. This work spanned from optimizing existing services to use fewer resources to migrating resources across IaaS providers to researching ways to rearchitect our implementation of services all in service of reducing cost without compromising performance or reliability.

I was reclassified into the senior software engineer position based on previous successes in anchoring teams and continued technical growth.

In this role, I:

• Lead the effort to migrate our data services off of VMs (deployed with BOSH) and onto Kubernetes

I was reclassified into this position due to professional growth and an increase in abilities and responsibilities. I continued specializing in operations and infrastructure and helped implement features on the backend of the app in Ruby.

Additionally, I served as an anchor of the virtual devops team and the infrastructure pod. My duties as anchor for the devops group includes:

• Onboarding new engineers to the on-call rotation

• Chairing a weekly status meeting to discuss incidents and prep the upcoming on-call pair

• Advising the team on any devops related areas of concern with the running app

As the anchor for the infrastructure team, I was responsible for advocating for engineering concerns with the product owner, assisting in keeping the engineering team productive, and ensuring regular processes occur such as periodic retrospectives.
