As part of the Platform Engineering team, I work on tools, services, and infrastructure to ensure the safety and reliability of Venmo.

At DigitalOcean I worked on control plane infrastructure; automated a bunch of things; and helped build new edge services to improve the reliability, safety, and performance of customer-facing features.

As an ops engineer, I automated, monitored, and maintained Offerpop's infrastructure. I helped move Offerpop toward more modern continuous integration, deployment, and configuration management practices.

I developed code and infrastructure for self-serve social marketing applications, TDDing all the things with Flask, Angular, MongoDB, Chef, and AWS.

I built Web applications in Python with tools like Django and SQLAlchemy. I advocated for strong unit testing and TDD. A big chunk of my time was spent aiding the transition from Microsoft and "legacy" tools to open source software, as well as fostering and encouraging contributions to the open source community.
