2. Professional Experience:
Tech Start-up, New York, NY: Head of Engineering
March 2021 - September 2021
● Contributed Terraform code to Microsoft’s Azure Landing Zone (ALZ) repositories. Leveraged the ALZ
framework to create a robust, scalable, and secure infrastructure for a large pharmaceutical
company. Helped migrate applications and data to Azure, ensuring HIPAA compliance. [Azure,
Terraform, Github Actions, Golang, Open Source]
● Enforced the Agile methodology throughout the engineering department. Promoted accountability
among engineers and project managers for creating detailed tickets and documentation, resulting in
more efficient sprints, faster deliverables, and higher code quality. [Jira, Agile, Confluence, Scrum]
● Collaborated with clients, engineers, and project managers to gather project and technical
requirements. Used requirements to generate a statement of work (SOW), plan resources, and set
realistic expectations. [Project Management, Requirement Gathering]
● Implemented Tempo (a Jira Add-on) for accurate time tracking and project planning. Leveraged data
captured in Tempo to create reports, manage resources, plan projects, track a project's financial
health, and bill clients for services accurately. [Jira, Tempo]
● Mentored engineers by knowledge sharing, investing in their growth and taking a hands-on
approach. Encouraged them to experiment with new technologies and allocate time for learning
while producing deliverables and adhering to deadlines.
Tech Giant, New York, NY: Software Engineer
November 2019 - January 2021
● Developed applications and scripts for monitoring, releases, and data migration. Provided meaningful
contributions to the data pipeline, network applications, internal applications, and client-facing
applications. [Python, Golang, Lua, Travis-CI, Pandas, NumPy, Airflow, Pyspark]
● Utilized NGINX Plus and containerization to migrate legacy, client-facing applications to AKS (Azure
Kubernetes Service). [NGINX Plus, Python, Docker, AKS, Kubernetes, Helm]
