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, or 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
