I have a strong and log history of working with businesses to establish or grow cohesive systems, helping teams to align development processes to inherent challenges of evolving platforms. I draw on a broad spectrum of experience ranging from embedded systems, UNIX kernel development, developer tooling, application servers (JEE/container models), REST/web services/IDLs, and distributed solutions. Recent forays involve leading teams to build web apps backed by (scalable, redundant, reliable) microservices, distributed relational and document storage, reliable synchronous protocols (circuit breakers, idempotency), async behaviors via messaging and data loggers, distributed caching and configuration, monitoring, and such. CI/CD pipelines, backed by quality practices to ensure systems work.
