12+ years as a platform engineer -> SRE at a number of top-tier startups or PaaS companies. Currently seeking my next senior or staff level SRE/DevOps/Platform Engineer position from Chicago or beyond!

A few projects I'm proudest of recently:

* Successfully planned & executed a six-month migration to EKS most recently at Sprout Social using custom-built pipelines which improved overall reliability and scalability for 150-ish microservices.

* Achieved a 75% reduction in AWS costs for the Moovweb (now Edgio/Akamai) Mobile Edge CDN by optimizing Node.js runtimes for use with Kubernetes.

* Helped develop two internal Go web apps used by the AWS EC2 CSET team to assist with enterprise client support engagements and dependencies.

* A couple years ago, I was instrumental in iteratively upgrading Hotel Tonight's core API backend from Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 2.3 with zero downtime, reducing endpoint response times by 45% and improving overall system performance.

Looking forward to hearing about any opportunities! Thanks!
