= Highlights
Established GitOps as a means of auditable, reproducible,
transparent changes by implementing the
#link("https://github.com/akuity/rendered-manifest-pattern/tree/main")[rendered manifests]
pattern with change management for compliant deployments for our Constellation
Management software.
Led enterprise-wide adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC),
standardizing deployment workflows and infrastructure management across
on-prem, and hybrid environments.
Developed and maintained a critical internal-tool
responsible for lab inventory management, configuration,
resource allocation (aka. the
#link("https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dga/papers/ntm-tridentcom2010.pdf")[Testbed Mapping Problem])
to facilitate hardware test automation.
Implemented a self-service infrastructure model that
significantly improved development, and QA experience in a
microservice architecture.
Supported multi-region, high-volume production systems handling 1B+
requests per day requiring sub-30ms latency, while delivering
reliable, robust deployments.
