Infrastructure Engineering

I am currently an Infrastructure Engineer at Lyft.


At my previous company, Simple, I lead our Infrastructure Engineering team during our transition to Kubernetes. I wrote provisioning tools and automation systems for our AWS-based infrastructure.

Open Source

I've made small contributions to open source projects on Github.
