Axon

• Built local-development tooling for the team's Jenkins shared library across 18 merged PRs, enabling engineers to run, seed, and deploy CI pipelines locally with live version and status checks and automatic per-environment credential resolution
• Designed a lightweight cascade orchestrator that decomposes monolithic Jenkins pipelines into modular, dependency-aware pipelines with isolated failure domains and faster per-change feedback
• Optimized the shared CI build image, restructuring a monolithic Dockerfile into eight parallel multi-stage BuildKit builds and streamlining the publishing workflows to cut build time and eliminate redundant work
• Extended the team's Go-based Infrastructure-as-Code CLI across 15 merged PRs, adding pillar-config validation, a structured lint-rule registry, Terragrunt dependency-graph cycle detection, expanded AI-integration support, and a streamlined initialization process
• Re-architected AI-agent guidance in the primary infrastructure repo, applying progressive-disclosure principles to split a monolithic CLAUDE.md into path-triggered rules and on-demand skills so agents load only relevant context

Salesloft

• Automated the management of GitHub organization (120+ repositories, 100+ teams, 290+ users) using custom scripts, Terraform, and SCIM / Okta, standardizing repository setup and streamlining user lifecycle management
• Facilitated a critical AWS to GCP migration for 16 Kubernetes environments by providing SME guidance and rapidly developing tooling across the full stack (Python, Go, TypeScript) to mitigate downtime
• Led a security initiative to eradicate plaintext secrets from QA environments by scripting the encryption and consolidation of all secrets using SOPS/KSOPS, eliminating an entire class of security vulnerabilities
• Plan and scope interdepartmental projects and work assignments, drive adoption of engineering best practices across platform teams

Salesloft

• Authored a suite of standardized reusable GitHub Actions workflows to enable rapid, org-wide response to security threats and compliance updates
• Internal Developer Portal Owner & SME (Python BE, TS / React / Remix FE). Developed a full-featured companion CLI in Go (Cobra), enabling developers to manage app deployments and securely interact with platform resources
• Refactored the engineering onboarding process with a task-based automation suite (go-task, Bash), cutting setup from 3 days to under 3 hours
• Managed company GitHub Organization using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Applied Lean Six Sigma Poka Yoke techniques to eliminate process variance

Salesloft

• Security hardened Docker builds by hardening base images and templating multi-stage app builds, resulting in eradication of >95% of vulnerabilities
• Pioneered a proprietary shift-left CI/CD production deployment audit and gating mechanism, integrating signals from GitHub, Slack, Kubernetes, QA Wolf, and Allure, reducing Sev 1 incidents by >75%
• Maintained >99% uptime across 20 production-like QA Kubernetes environments via proactive monitoring and automated health checks
• Built full-featured CLI applications and shell scripts for task automation
• Contributed to GitHub Organization management and access controls
