Summary

Experienced Senior Software Engineer with Lead/Manager experience, working in-industry for over 20 years. Tons of experience building high-scale distributed-systems and service- oriented architectures, with a passion for low-level system development and application design, networking protocols, reverse engineering, and audio/video processing and delivery. Other interests include electronics (at the moment FPGAs / DSP), embedded, and digital audio.

Work Experience

For all Amazon positions below, as is typical for all service owners at Amazon, responsibilities include ownership and responsibility for the full service lifecycle from design and development; working with QA; production deployments, management, servicing, and maintenance; realtime monitoring and alarming, including 24x7 oncall pager duty rotations; “gameday” planning and drills to prepare and test for readiness for known seasonal peak periods; around-the-clock war room engagement during significant launch events, seasonal peak loads, and post-monitoring; weekly analysis and review of service and business metrics; and incremental service evolution within a highly dynamic agile environment. Ownership implies full access to, and responsibility for, live production systems. Oct 2019 – Oct 2022

Performed code and security reviews for many PullRequest.com clients, under an à la carte model. Later transitioned to mostly purely security reviews for clients, leveraging my former years in the security (cryptography), PKI (X509), and anti-malware spaces. These were bigger booked projects, taking anywhere from a week to a month to complete, such as OpenMC. Apr 2017 – Nov 2018

Performed - Development consulting/of contract website, work API, remotely and backend for two services clients: to provide a monitoring, tracking, reporting, and administration portal for real time data from IoT devices in the field, to secure and tamper protect them. (Angular 2, NodeJS, ASP.NET, C#, T-SQL).

- Harvesting of data via scraping of various public and private web portals and use of documented APIs provided by Amazon in order to provide reporting and analytics to vendors and sellers on the Amazon platform(s). (Javascript, PhantomJS, CasperJS, Ruby, Python, Bash, C#, T-SQL). Building out Azure infrastructure to support data analysis.

Oct 2013 - Apr 2017

Senior Software Engineer, Microsoft; Operating Systems Group (OSG), One Protection;

(2016-2017: Redmond, WA; 2013-2016: Melbourne, Australia) Designed, implemented, and deployed Machine Learning / Big Data based clustering and classification of incoming software vectors for aiding researcher activities and blocking malware via cloud protection mechanisms and client-side real-time protection. Utilized Azure Cosmos for ML toolkit and job hosting (not Cosmos DB, that name was reused when Azure released a new DB publicly, but it's seems to be unrelated). Drove a peer project forward (SAR) for unsupervised classification and clustering of a vastly fragmented feature set, automatically engineered from many diverse data sources.

Senior SDE III, Amazon Silk; Amazon Web Services (AWS); Amazon.com; Seattle, WA, USA
