There is a ton of specialized "space" - related equipment here that presents interesting problems. Beyond that, I've learned a ton about - embedded computers (RPis), networking and network automation, which has opened my world up to - cool home projects for which I am very grateful for. So far, I've been responsible for the - following:</p> - <ul> - <li>Implementing a net-boot infrastructure using Packer, PXE, Awx (Ansible Tower) to keep our - RPi fleet OS images and configurations in-sync and up-to-date.</li> - <li>Built a custom Linux router to support our lab's hardware testing requirements for on-demand - subnet generation/teardown, and Ansible roles for our managed switch inventory required our - ethernet related workloads.</li> - <li>Completely revised our test-automation infrastructure by building a hardware-management - portal using Django with a RESTful Api (DRF) to facilitate reservation, as well as <a - href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-in-the-loop_simulation" - target="_blank">HITL</a> (Hardware-in-the-loop) testing to allow us to more reliably, - and frequently test our HW.</li> - <li>Designed and deployed a production-ready on-prem Kubernetes cluster to be our software - platform going forward, while facilitating the migration to Kubernetes for all pre-existing - workloads, including (but not limited to) our various distributed databases.</li> - </ul> - <p>Beyond my work as an Individual Contributor, I've also been responsible for instilling "DevOps" - principles within our team and projects on our road to maturity.</p> - </p> - </li> - <li> - <p> - <em>[2019 - 2020]</em> - <p>Worked as a <strong> DevOps Engineer </strong> at <a target="_blank" - href="https://acuityads.com"> AcuityAds </a> in Toronto. The main selling point for me to - work here is that Acuity does not use Amazon or Google or MS (or whatever other 'cloud - platform') to host its infrastructure, it has its own private Linux based 'cloud'. This presents - a substantial set of challenges for us as DevOps Engineers that would normally be handled by a - 3rd party provider. </p> - - <p>Apart from this, due to the nature of adtech, we deal with a massive amount of data, which forces - us to be very specific about the types of technologies we use. Here is a subset of what we use - across multiple data-centers, often in multiple clusters:</p> - <ul> - <li><strong>Infrastructure</strong>: VMWare, Physical</li> - <li><strong>Provisioning</strong>: Ansible, Terraform, Cobbler</li> - <li><strong>Containerization</strong>: Docker, Kubernetes</li> - <li><strong>CI/CD</strong>: Git, BitBucket, Bamboo (we host the entire Atlassian suite in-house) - </li> - <li><strong>Monitoring</strong>: - <ul> - <li>TICK (Telegraf, Influxdb, Chronograf, Kapacitor)</li> - <li>ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), with filebeat and metricbeat beats</li> - <li>Prometheus</li> - <li>Grafana</li> - <li>Nagios, Pagerduty, Pingdom</li> - </ul> - </li> - <li><strong>Data</strong>: MySql, Aerospike, Kafka, HDFS, Druid</li> - <li><strong>Scripting</strong>: Golang, Bash, Python. <em>Some</em> of my work can be on my - Gitlab profile: - <ul> - <li>Golang: - <ul> - <li> a fast, containerized <a - href="https://gitlab.com/kdam0/go-druid-mysql-influx" - target="_blank">Cronjob</a> that interacts with Druid, MySql, and - Influxdb written in Go. Basic unit testing included. This is a job that - powers one of our major alerting dashboards. - </li> - <li> a containerized highly modular <a target="_blank" - href="https://gitlab.com/kdam0/devops-api">Rest api</a> that writes to - Influxdb: .
