Cloud & Dev/Ops Engineer: Phoenix, AZ. Sep 2015 to Current TE Connectivity: Cloud & Dev/Ops Engineer

Platforms/Environment: Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure Services. o Designed Dev/Ops solutions to manage and extend the AWS and Azure Cloud native capabilities. o Implemented solutions to handle the backup/recycling of EBS volumes (scheduled/event-driven) when a new VPC/EC2 instance is created or an EBS volume is attached. All actions are dynamically tracked and maintained into DynamoDB. o Designed a Git driven package management workflow where packages are distributed via AWS S3-based repositories and version controlled.

o Engineered a subset of management tools to handle auto-configuration and deployment processes. o Contributed to the development of an unique management process to handle ADFS authentication. We have expanded the use of Machine/System IAM Roles to empower the use of Application Roles. Service Accounts can dynamically assume multiple fine-tuned roles to perform diverse operations. This changes the operation’s landscape for Dev/Ops because with a more granular level of control. o The “Application Stacks” defines the environment and server’s configurations for the parallel-deployment of services. The deployment components are platform dependent and deployed via the “Custom Scripts” extension defined in the Azure

“Custom Templates”. We leverage the power of Azure Functions to provision Windows/Linux machines, deploy Puppet and register them into Active Directory. Creating and managing Active Directory Groups (AWS & Azure). o Contributed to the automated creation and configuration of Azure Resource Groups (JSON-based configurations) and the provisioning of Networks, Subnets, NICs, Storage Accounts and other resources. o Researched/Prototyped the implementation of automated configurations and deployment of Docker Containers. We have explored Kubernetes and documented critical flaws in the AWS ECS/ECR framework. o Designed tools to process ad-hoc queries against CloudTrail as a cost effective alternative to CloudSearch to identify specific patterns for debugging purposes.

I.T. Training Courses Diploma/Certification 2004–2010 Advanced Networking & InterNET Engineering CompuTeach College Diploma 1998–1999 Interactive Multimedia Developer Computer Technologies Certification 1985–1995 Assembler, Basic, C/C++, Pascal Developer Systems & Dev/Ops Engineer: Phoenix, AZ. Mar 2014 to Jun 2015 Be Healthy & Be Active: Consulting services: Enterprise Tools Automation and Application & Systems Administration Platforms/Environment: Amazon Web Services. Linux Debian & Ubuntu. L.A.M.P. & M.A.M.P. o Designing and Implementing Cloud-based solutions (M/L.A.M.P. environment: PHP, Apache and MySQL Servers, etc.) for both Amazon AWS. Including support for Linode infrastructure services. o Designed and prototyped an SQL-based solution for a search engine based on an algorithm that implements a Binary- Profiling to allow absolute, partial or relative matching with 100% accuracy. The solution renders results instantaneously at lightning speeds. Because the framework is based in self-contained blocks any changes made to the pseudo-schema's structure are applied atomically. The data is continuously restructured giving the profiles a highly dynamic nature.
