Immediately after graduation I started at Cisco and rapidly learned Microservices and Go; traveled the world attending conferences, advocating for developers and gave my first presentation in Japan. Since then, I’ve collaborated with a variety of team sizes writing well documented and tested REST APIs. Also, focused on small details at every level from handling scale to UX/UI, trained ability to break down vague deliverables to actionable tasks. Thoroughly enjoyed all things craft ranging from coffee, wood-shop, and more. Physical and mental fitness are deeply important to me; always practicing lifelong learning.
Seeking new role that will challenge and expand my knowledge in iOS engineering, and further leadership and growth opportunities with a collaborative team.

- Finished and delivered Boarding Agent app used by 3,000+ CSA (Customer Service Agent), that is boarding over 2 million passengers each month.
- Jumped into major refactor of Layer0 to optimize performance and improve architecture for long-term stability. Removing 30% of the codebase as well as continued support of new AWS features.
- Developed platform to easily transition new and the existing 1,000+ services to Kubernetes on EKS.
- Tasked with building monitoring and logging to handle all services running in Cisco’s new cloud initiative. The product had to work with all services and handle different log types; it was packaged and configurable via Helm.
- Removed 20% of the code and reduced Docker image by 30%, all while improving Fluentd performance to 10,000+ messages per second in structured JSON analyzed by Kibana.
- Assigned with tracking down unidentifiable reliability issues. Lead and developed a monitoring system written entirely in Go. Discovered key areas of failure and was able to increase stability to 99% and convince leadership to migrate project to GKE for further stability.
- Developer Advocate for Shipped and Mantl, attended and spoke at many conferences.
- Lead developer on a small team, publishing many iOS apps including Wingman, Dawn to Dusk, and Too Sweet.
