+ Designed and implemented full-stack high scale production systems at + every position held. +
++ Deep understanding of language semantics, exception handling, + runtimes, performance characteristics and tooling. +
++ Architected & implemented complex production interfaces in React, as + well as angular, vue and svelte. Deep experience using hooks & + functional components to manage state and complexity as the product + scales. +
++ Guided teams to best practices, building systems with 5-40 active + contributors handling 1MM requests / second with %99.999 uptime +
++ Active Open Source community member; language contributions and + discussions. +
++ Deep understanding of language semantics, exception handling, + runtimes, performance characteristics and tooling. +
++ Owner of the primary implementation of the CoAP networking protocol, + which brings high performance REST semantics to bare metal and + distributed systems. +
++ Built teams using the language, training teammates reaching productive + and capable in <2mo. +
++ Active Open Source community member; language contributions, + discussions, discord member. +
+Owner of many popular packages and abstractions.
++ Deep understanding of language semantics, exception handling, + runtimes, performance characteristics, abstractions and tooling. +
++ Built teams using the language, training teammates reaching productive + and capable in <2mo. +
++ Manage 100s of open source repositories, highly active open source + member and contributor. +
++ Managed & built git teams at scale, with some repos having hundreds of + daily contributors. +
++ Have designed, implemented and modified systems across scales and + stacks. +
++ Have designed and implemented Distributed (Microservices or Services), + Monolithic, and Event Driven systems - choosing the model based on the + product and organization’s requirements, capacity, and time + constraints. +
++ Use docker in most projects for 4 years for making version management, + reproducible deploy artifacts, pull-based deployment models and + security isolation. +
++ Have used kubernetes to manage deployments of complex distributed + systems handling millions of requests and $500K MRR with high + reliability. +
++ Use comprehensive automated testing and CI platforms to automate + quality checks and deployment, significantly accelerating product + development. +
++ Have used linux personally & in production. Choose VMs (EC2) in lieu + of kubernetes or managed environments for almost all production needs + for many reasons. +
++ Deep understanding of systems semantics, filesystems, security model, + networking, resource management, shells, scripting and tooling. +
++ Guided teams to best practices, building systems with 5-40 active + contributors handling 1MM requests / second with %99.999 uptime +
++ Have designed & implemented highly normalized and scalable relational + schemas (both for monolithic and distributed systems) +
++ Have used read replication, partitioning and indexing to manage pain + points inherent in maintaining a relational database while the product + and organization scale. +
++ Have used many strategies to integrate relational databases with + dynamic and strongly-typed business logic layers from highly-managed + ORMs (ex. Flask, Entity Framework, PrismaJS) to mini-ORMs. +
++ Have managed teams of sizes 3-10 as a team lead (player-coach), + accountable for success of individual team members as well as the + team. Able to consistenly make & meet data-driven commitments, develop + and maintain excellent relationships with team members and + stakeholders based on accountability, candor and transparency. +
++ Use tools like CICD, Scrum, TDD and pair programming to increase team + velocity without applying pressure to individual team members. +
++ Use frequent touchpoints with team members and a shared understanding + of my expectations and their goals, decomposing them into measurable + actionable steps and holding them accountable. +
++ Have used AWS to deploy and manage systems at scale, both persistent + and on-demand (serverless) applications. +
++ Deep understanding of networking model (VPC), database hosting (RDS), + persistent managed or unmanaged servers (EC2), on-demand compute + (Lambda), event-driven architecture (SQS), machine learning + (SageMaker), permissions management (IAM). +
++ Have led 5 scrum-informed process transformations to improve team + performance, transparency and clarity. +
++ Trained and mentored product managers on their role and + responsibilities, solving many sources of friction and conflict on + under-performing teams. +
++ Have filled roles of scrum master and product owner on several product + teams to much success. +
