Experienced software engineer specializing in cloud-native architectures, data pipelines, and automated deployment systems. Proven track record of architecting scalable backend systems, leading infrastructure migrations to AWS, and implementing robust CI/CD pipelines that enable continuous delivery and rapid experimentation.
Architected and built the comprehensive back-office system for Talos Digital, a web-based railroad fleet management platform managing AI-automated train handling software. Developed a complete data pipeline ingesting fleet locomotive data to hot storage and data lakes for advanced reporting. Built high-performance API layer serving internal and external web applications with real-time locomotive status and telemetry replay capabilities. Implemented fully automated CI/CD pipeline with comprehensive testing, deploying entire back-office stack across dev, staging, and production environments. Designed cloud-native architecture enabling local development without cloud dependencies, with infrastructure abstraction supporting seamless cloud provider migration. Established infrastructure-as-code practices ensuring consistent environments and simplified monitoring/observability with intelligent alerting.
Built fully automated CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, providing comprehensive visibility into build status, integration tests, end-to-end testing, and production deployments. Established comprehensive E2E and unit testing frameworks, successfully transitioning the team from a 2-week release cycle to continuous delivery. Re-architected backend API service architecture to accelerate development and deployment cycles, incorporating A/B testing and feature flag capabilities for rapid experimentation. Led the initial migration of applications from legacy data center infrastructure to AWS through containerized lift-and-shift approach.
