As Netflix moves into the live streaming space it changes our surface area for security and reliability posture. I'm currently leading the rearchitecture of our CDN security DDoS detection and mitigation infrastructure.
I joined Coinbase as the most senior SRE IC in the company to double down on reliability and scalability and build out their SRE organization. I worked across the infrastructure and product teams to deliver new reliability primatives in the paved paths: Baseline Canaries, Auto Deployment rollbacks, Circuit Breaking, etc. I also rewrote the internal service registry (Golang, React) to achieve 100% coverage of service ownership and map to accountable pagerduty rotation.
Jarobe Labs is a startup focused on developing innovative solutions in the tech space.
As CTO and first engineering hire at eFuse, I was responsible for establishing a product and engineering organization from the ground up. During my 2.5 years at the company I wore virtually every hat to build a silicon-valley style company going from zero to 30 engineers, and zero to hundreds of thousands of users.
On the Network System Team I was working on our Network Disaster Recovery infrastructure.
On the Traffic/CDN team I was the TL on our embedded caching going from 0 servers to many thousands in dozens of countries.
The Site Reliability team was responsible for making sure facebook, messenger, etc, was online and reliable.
As a Linux Infrastructure Engineer at Nationwide, I was responsible for managing and maintaining the company's Linux infrastructure.
