I build cloud-based systems for startups and enterprises. My background in operations gives me a unique focus on writing observable, reliable software and automating maintenance work.
I love learning and teaching about Amazon Web Services, automation tools such as Ansible, and the serverless ecosystem. I most often write code in Python, TypeScript, and Rust.
B.S. Applied Networking and Systems Administration, minor in Software Engineering from Rochester Institute of Technology.
Desktop app to manage sessions and roles for one or more AWS IAM Identity Center domains. Built in Rust, the app surfaces frequently used accounts, caches available accounts and roles, and opens isolated browser sessions to simplify multi-account operations.
Extensions for PynamoDB to support single-table design in
DynamoDB. pynamodb-polymorph adds compound keys, compressed attributes, and
automatically counted set sizes for PynamoDB models and is available on
PyPi.
A tool to speed up Lambda cold-starts that use AWS APIs. The layer optimizer strips down Boto3 data files to minimize their size and loading time. Given a list of services the function uses, it removes JSON service definitions and adds caching to the session loader.
Engineering Enablement team lead, with scope to work across the Product & Engineering organization on developer experience, platform, and process problems. Took over incident review and operations review processes and drove improvements in site reliability.
Enabled pay-per-use billing for Stedi services and reduced API latency by re-architecting billing to remove billing calls from customer request paths. Designed fraud prevention and entitlement checking tools to prevent malicious usage of Stedi resources. Built telemetry and billing Lambda Extensions in Rust. Used AWS CDK, TypeScript, and Github Actions to maintain Kinesis streams, Athena/Glue tables, and Lambda functions supporting BI and billing.
Implemented features and managed infrastructure underlying Vendia’s distributed ledger on AWS. Split time between features on the GraphQL engine for customer data plane and control-plane features for managing AWS accounts, security boundaries, and continuous delivery.
Led design & implementation of complex AWS projects in multiple verticals for F100 and startup clients. Technically, focused on serverless technologies, infrastructure-as-code, and security.
