Work
Distinguished Engineer at GEICO - Sept 2024 - Present
Rebuilt GEICO's infrastructure-as-a-service platform across AWS, Azure and On-prem datacenters, from soup-to-nuts-to-production, in 18 months.
Too many technologies to list, but I became an expert in zero-trust enterprise networks, SPIFFE/SPIRE, Apache Cassandra, TPMs, and not too shabby at writing Rust.
Senior && Principal Software Engineer at solo.io - Feb 2022 - Sept 2024
I work on Service Mesh and API gateways for Kubernetes.
