At LogDNA, I work with our ingestion and integration services and systems to ensure our processing pipeline is running reliably.

In this position, I lead a team of engineers that develop & operate core services which allow our infrastructure to operate effectively. When not working directly on these services I’m lending my development expertise to other operations teams, facilitating the growth of my reports’ skill sets and knowledge, planning future initiatives, and recruiting.

• Developed a set of applications for our networking team to perform low-level maintenance tasks in AWS to provide deterministic results that could be more easily & consistently verified than with manual methods.

• Nearly eliminated all manual account creations by working to develop software pipelines which integrated SSO into our AWS accounts. In tangent advocating for easier policies to manage so that personnel could have access to the tools they need to perform optimally.

• Improve software automation for our current centralized logging infrastructure, being the primary person responsible for the entirety of the system spanning multiple datacenters and AWS VPCs.

This role allowed me to evangelize best practices through leveraging software to automate procedures. I handled the day-to-day tactical goals as well as worked with our internal security team to create a more effective operating model, which improved deliverables on both sides.

• Relied on as the primary technical resource for preparation and execution of FedRAMP audits.

• Coached the team by showing examples of how spending time on automation would reduce many mistakes made by manual processes

• Consult with security engineers on how to effectively manage CVE vulnerabilities, patching strategies, and analysis

• Helped to create a long-term roadmap for a more manageable infrastructure which adhered to our compliance standards yet allowed engineers access to perform tasks on their infrastructure.
