PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Sovrn Holdings, Boulder, CO
SOFTWARE ENGINEER I, II, III (June 2022 – Present)
I support and improve the performance, uptime, efficiency, and cost of a global digital Ad Exchange that processes and serves over 100 billion requests per day. I help address hardware and cost constraints, vendor product constraints, deployment turbulence, and I address and monitor incidents as they arise. I write terraform, kubernetes manifests, deployment scripts, and mainly java as an engineer on the Exchange team.
Key Roles
- As SE I, Build and deploy a new ‘instance’ of the digital Ad Exchange in our Seattle datacenter. Led an effort to add a redundancy to the existing exchange for high availability and load shedding on the west coast. Stood up bare metal servers and led the ansible installation, configuration, and testing of 15+ internal and external applications.
- As SE II, Migrate the exchange from bare metal infrastructure into AWS. Responsible for redesigning core functionality of our java applications for implementation onto EKS clusters. Migrated our supporting stack -unmanaged- Kafka clusters, MySQL instances, Redis clusters, and HAProxy Load Balancers to their managed AWS equivalents. Designed and implemented our RDS replication strategy from the ground up in the new AWS environment. Built a widely used GitHub Actions workflow for applying terraform and kubernetes manifests.
- As SE III, Rewrite the existing exchange to fit the new AWS and Ad Tech landscape. Pioneered a new way of organizing our suite of applications away from our monolithic implementation into Java microservices designed to be lightweight and portable. Utilized ArgoCD and helm for advanced EKS pipelines. Led a group to design a new way of monitoring and alerting our infrastructure and applications with Grafana after a migration away from Datadog.
