Experience.

Infrastructure, developer tooling, and AI systems measured by the work they changed.

  • Led a Java/Spring Boot application migration from AWS ECS to EKS, redesigning backend, frontend, API-gateway, and deployment configuration for 5,000+ Chewy agents while cutting costs by $100K per year.
  • Built and validated Docker/EKS CI/CD workflows for a phased cutover across 18 environments with zero downtime.
  • Engineered an AI on-call agent that monitors Slack incidents and inspects code and logs, reducing root-cause response time from 2 hours to 5 minutes and saving 10+ hours per week.
