A selection of my favorite contributions from various roles — not comprehensive, but representative.
Mentoring
Mentoring Engineers
I have mentored 10+ engineers in my career, helping them grow in their careers and achieve their goals. I take pride in fostering a culture of learning and growth, and seeing mentees go on to achieve their goals brings unimaginable joy.
Stripe
Customer & Payment Method Sharing
Led engineering efforts to launch customer and payment method sharing, previously thought to be impossible. After years of development, this product changed the trajectory of Organizations/enterprises on Stripe while capturing marquee new users and their business.
Ops & Reliability Lead
I served as the ops and reliability lead for taking a new service from 0 to 1 at Stripe, achieving 99.999% availability and sub-10ms p99 latency, scaling the service from 0 RPS to tens of thousands. I was initially brought onto Stripe to help move from monolithic architecture into SOA, and successfully launching and scaling this core data-providing service was incredibly fulfilling and reassuring.
Global Database Migration
Solo designed and executed the migration of 11 live PostgreSQL databases and 10+ TB of data from single primary/replica architecture to global cellular architectures while minimizing downtime and preventing data loss.
AWS
First Class Integrations
Designed, developed, and mentored 2 junior engineers to deliver parameter mapping and first-class integrations for HTTP APIs, improving developer experience and enabling powerful mapping/routing layers to users.
VPC Link V2
Developed VPC Link V2, enabling private integration connections for HTTP APIs, improving security and network architecture options. Included developing a "Reaper" to automatically deactivate unused integrations.
Multi-Tenant Infrastructure Migration
Consolidated over 10M live APIs from single-tenant to multi-tenant infrastructure, achieving significant cost savings on infrastructure and operational overhead.
Auto-Rotating Certificate Solution
Put plainly: rotating certs stinks. I developed a solution to migrate live ALBs supporting millions of RPS to auto-rotating ACM certificates, eliminating manual certificate rotation and preventing service disruptions.
Union Pacific
Simulation Cosmetic Immersion
Developed a system of comprehensive cosmetic improvements to ultra-realistic locomotive simulations, significantly improving immersion and providing reality-like training experiences for conductors.
