Coupa Software
- Drove the adoption of AWS EKS and supporting tooling, replacing LLamasoft’s kOps and Jenkins orchestrated platform with Terraform (Terragrunt), Helmfile, and ArgoCD. This design has been adopted by the wider Coupa organization and is now the standard for deploying and managing Kubernetes company-wide.
- Primary technical point of contact for all post-acquisition integrations between Coupa and LLamasoft infrastructure and systems.
- Project lead for an initiative to reproduce and provision the entire Supply Chain cloud platform in an arbitrary number of regions around the world. The largest and most ambitious project undertaken by my team in 3 years, my design dramatically slashed the effort curve for production deployments. From requiring 6 weeks for a team of 10, new environments can now be orchestrated by one person in under a day with minimal manual intervention.
- Introduced AWX (the open-source equivalent of Ansible Tower) to supplement our orchestration capabilities and ultimately replace Chef as our configuration management tool of choice. AWX jobs now perform automated patch management, security-suite installation and auditing, and general operational tasks in a heterogeneous OS environment that has historically been resistant to automation.
