Senior Site Reliability Engineer | Platform & Infrastructure Automation
Senior site reliability and platform engineer specializing in production reliability, infrastructure automation, observability, and CI/CD across Kubernetes and legacy Linux environments. Builds Python tooling and Infrastructure as Code to modernize operational systems at scale, with recent work spanning centralized logging, configuration-management resilience, ephemeral integration environments, and Prometheus/Grafana observability.
Built and rolled out Vector-to-Elasticsearch logging across 700+ hosts, standardizing metadata and enabling efficient log search and analysis.
Made 600+ Salt agents self-recovering after master or network failures with version-aware systemd restart/backoff policies.
Designed GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline to provision ephemeral Kubernetes clusters for integration and smoke tests across three services, gating automated dependency merges and extending the pattern to legacy Salt infrastructure.
Automated TLS-authenticated Prometheus/Grafana observability for 30+ Kafka brokers across two data centers with Salt, giving operators their best visibility in years and exposing operational outliers.
Co-introduced and productionized code-search platform indexing 800+ repositories; automated deployments and CI tests, and it became integral to multiple engineers' workflows.
Refactored a large legacy Terraform codebase, cutting apply cycles ~30x and reducing monthly cloud costs.
Designed scalable Route 53 DNS management across AWS regions with active failover and geographic routing.
Containerized CUDA inference workloads for EKS and deployed Loki, Grafana, Tempo, and Mimir observability across EC2/RDS, EKS, and Lambda.
Modernized and consolidated Terraform-managed AWS infrastructure, reducing monthly cloud costs by thousands of dollars.
Architected CI/CD for infrastructure and Lambda functions, achieving a fastest merge-to-production time under 20 seconds.
Automated infrastructure documentation, standardized architecture decision records, and trained engineers on new IaC tooling.
Built automation for Cassandra cluster assembly, DNS, TLS certificate provisioning, and infrastructure documentation.
Modernized IAM and cross-account AWS resource management with Terraform and extended IaC practices to external services.
As the first dedicated Ops/Infra/SRE hire, expanded observability and incident reporting and initiated the migration from legacy AMI-based infrastructure to EKS.
Built tools that automated hardware deployment and remediation across hundreds of customer-site installations.
Led the transition to containerized infrastructure and Elasticsearch 7, applying Terraform, Packer, Consul, Vault, Prometheus, and Grafana across the platform.
Improved critical-incident response, modernized Puppet automation, and built tooling to integrate Vault with centralized authentication.
Designed AWS networking to securely connect Eventbrite and Ticketfly data lakes and coached engineers on networking and Terraform.
Led Ticketfly's data-center exit and migration to AWS, redesigning infrastructure and application architecture and implementing cloud networking across private fiber, VPNs, and automated security controls.
Rebuilt the DevOps team and authored Chef and Ruby automation for 24x7 Tier 4 operations spanning MongoDB, MySQL, and AWS.
