SEEKING WORK
Location: Washington DC and remote
I'm a software engineer specializing in designing and building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Currently, I'm helping clients with dev ops problems like setting up web apps to scale for 10x more traffic, profiling/optimizing slow code paths, and building analytics pipelines with AWS.
Before that, I was a principal engineer at Vox Media, and worked on some notable projects:
- Simultaneously upgraded their 81k LOC monolith to Ruby 2.1 and Rails 3.2 with no downtime <a href="
- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events <a href="
- Converted all image processing to Thumbor (<a href="), and scaled it to resize 1.3 million images a day
Technologies: Ruby/Rails, Golang, Python/Django, AWS, Redis, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Chef, StatsD, Varnish, ElasticSearch, WebPageTest
