SEEKING WORK — Remote Only — (Philadelphian living abroad)
Happy New Year! I’m an established backend and DevOps engineer with experience building sophisticated products in the startup world. My experience includes being a full-stack engineer across 3 different product companies as well as managing a high-performing, agile team of 9 engineers building across various technology stacks.
Let me tell you why I’m the right person to hire for your project's needs:
- From my experience as a project manager I know how to accurately gather requirements, and architect solutions to meet your business needs. 
- I’m well versed in efficiently crafting bullet-proof software that solves the problem at hand. 
- I know the fine balance between the need to ship and the need for maintainable software that is ready for the next iteration. 
- I have in-depth knowledge on all the auxiliary pieces that software projects need to stay successful including unit testing, continuous integration, and deployment automation. I know how to architect solutions for these challenges, build them, and then maintain them.
- I intimately know what happens after code is pushed and needs to live in AWS or Docker or Heroku.
- I’ve worked and managed remotely and know the ins and outs of how to make that relationship work efficiently and effectively.
Here are the languages, frameworks, and tools that I’m proficient with and focused on: Ruby, Rails, AWS (EC2, ElastiCache, Lambda, Route53, ECS, SQS, ect.), Docker, Ansible, and K8ns. I also have experience with the following in production (don't reach for these as often): Java Spring, HBase, Hadoop/MapReduce, Aerospike, Kafka, and Storm.
Get in touch and we’ll build something awesome together.
