Infrastructure at Flock encompasses Developer Experience, SRE, and Machine Learning Infra. While I partake in all of these buckets to some extent I have a greater focus on the Developer Experience bucket.

This includes CI/CD, Local Development, and productivity tooling.

Outside of DevEx I play a key role in maintaining the budget for our largest line items (Cloud, Monitoring, and CI).

Over the last year and a half, the most impactful project I executed on was to scale our CI system from 25 -> 100 engineers. We did this by improving an in-house metric called PRs/hr (rate of how many Pull Requests we can merge in an hour) from a max rate of 4 to a max rate of 9 through a batch merging process, without decreasing on the quality gates required for merge.

Flock Freight, a 2021 CNBC Disruptor 50 winner, is a technology company that’s reducing waste and inefficiency by reinventing the supply chain.

First to market with advanced algorithms that enable supply chain optimization by pooling shipments, Flock Freight creates a new standard of service for shippers, increases revenue for carriers, and eliminates the impact of carbon emissions through shared truckload service.

Flock Freight is the only company that offers carbon neutral shared truckload shipping at point of sale — for free. We’re also the first in the freight space to earn a B Corporation certification, which serves as evidence of our dedication to our team, our community, and our planet.
