LLamasoft

• Principal DevOps asset and evangelist for all Kubernetes initiatives, including the implementation of ingress controllers, service meshes, custom operators — among them one that unified multiple sources of truth (Consul, relational databases, and flat files) into a single universal “LLamaConfig” configuration scheme — and new microservices.
• Architect and project leader behind the adoption of HashiCorp Vault for secret management across the entire engineering organization. Using custom Terraform modules, highly available Vault clusters are rendered trivial to deploy, manage, and extend, which greatly improved LLamasoft’s security practices while easing developer compliance burdens.
• Primary force in the (re)design of artifact building and deployment pipelines using Packer, Docker, and declarative Jenkinsfiles to construct both AMIs and containers. Using Artifactory as a source of truth, container images may be automatically scanned, signed, and synchronized with ECR and/or Harbor.
• Wrote Python scripts that leveraged serverless platforms (AWS Lambda, OpenFaaS) to completely eliminate numerous manual processes, including fully autonomous TLS certificate generation and renewal for the Apigee API gateway.
• Greatly enhanced LLamasoft’s operational awareness by implementing a number of observability tools, including Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger tracing. Fully automated Filebeat deployments capable of feeding logs to both self-managed and externally managed ELK stacks.
• Created a LLamasoft SDK that allowed developers and DevOps to program sophisticated API interactions in the language(s) of their choice, including Python, Go, C#, PowerShell, Bash, and Groovy.
