I’ve been working at various startups or consulting for the past 8 years, building everything from mobile apps for NBA teams, to rewriting mission critical software for natural gas conglomerates, to creating realtime healthcare systems that have a five 9’s uptime requirement.
I worked full time a healthcare start up for years, on a rotating 24/7, week long, oncall shift. I’ve navigated serious system outages caused by both internal, and external integration issues. I’ve written numerous retrospectives after incidents, documenting what happened, why and how it happened, and what measure we can take to ensure it doesn’t happen again. I’ve built integrations with various observability platforms, and created internal tools where integrations weren’t an option.
In these positions I’ve set up CI/CD platforms, designed numerous webs systems that were fully documented using infrastructure as code tools, integrated notification and observability platforms, regularly preformed PR reviews, pushed to establish better engineer practices (automated formatting, static typing, dependency management, coding style, etc), and have lead teams of other engineers on many projects.
I’m currently consulting on a few short term contracts and am looking to take on long term employment for an interesting project.
