At Community.com, I have played a pivotal role in shaping infrastructure and platform strategies, embracing multiple roles, from backend engineering to security and architecture. I've led transformative projects, such as migrating the platform from Mesos to Kubernetes and implementing self-service infrastructure provisioning through Terraform and Atlantis. I also developed innovative solutions, like an AI-powered on-call helper for incident debugging. This is a role where I have to adapt and wear many hats, this type of environment is where I thrive.

- With the VP of Architecture, lead the strategy for Infrastructure and Platform engineering.
- Maintain all of Community's platform, systems, software and external vendors.
- This role requires me to wear many hats: backend engineer, security, sre, platform engineering, architechture, devops etc.
- Notable projects:
- Platform migration from Mesos to Kubernetes (EKS)
- Self-service infrastructure provisioning via github pull-request powered by terraform and atlantis.
- on-call ai helper (interface to OpenAI to support on-call engineers with debugging incidents)
- RabbitMQ zero-dewntime event-bus migration from AmazonMQ -> Kubernetes (huge cost and reliability savings)
- Lots of tooling in Golang to keep system parity between dev and prod. Env comparators, CI pipeline comparator, Github pull-request monoitoring etc.

- **Platform Migration Mastery:** Led a successful migration initiative, transitioning our platform from Mesos to Kubernetes (EKS). This strategic move optimized our infrastructure for enhanced scalability and efficiency.

- **Seamless RabbitMQ Migration:** Orchestrated a zero-downtime migration of our event-bus system from AmazonMQ to Kubernetes. This migration not only significantly reduced costs but also enhanced system reliability.
- **Seamless RabbitMQ Migration:** Orchestrated a zero-downtime migration of our event-bus system from AmazonMQ to Kubernetes. This migration not only significantly reduced costs but also enhanced system reliability. We havei successfully migrated RabbitMQ provider multiple times, often seeking higher throughput and stability.

- **Golang Tooling Expertise:** Developed a suite of Golang-based tools, including environment comparators, CI pipeline comparators, and GitHub pull-request monitoring solutions. These tools maintain system parity between development and production environments, fostering robust system integrity.
- **Golang Tooling Expertise:** Developed a suite of Golang-based tools, including environment comparators, CI pipeline comparators, and GitHub pull-request monitoring solutions. These tools maintain system parity between development and production environments, fostering less man hours spent managing system parity.

In this dynamic role, I have consistently demonstrated the ability to drive impactful change, implement innovative solutions, and maintain the highest standards of system integrity. My dedication to enhancing efficiency and optimizing infrastructure has been instrumental in advancing Community.com's technological landscape.
