I started working with AWS products in 2013. I work with AWS products every day and have used over 65% of their services in production environments. I have by far most experience with AWS, but can use other infrastructure as well (GCP and Azure).
My first and only language is English.
I work with my clients to determine the correct cost/effort/availability tradeoffs for services using the AWS Well-Architected Framework. I manage or help manage AWS infrastructure for 9 accounts. My total AWS client spend is over $25k/mo. I work with AWS tools for the majority of my work day, every day.
I have these Amazon Web Services (AWS) certifications:
- Certified Solutions Architect - Professional
- Certified DevOps Engineer – Professional
- Certified Big Data - Specialty
- Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty
- Certified Machine Learning - Specialty
I use both Terraform and CloudFormation for Infrastructure as Code. I have some open source projects that use Terraform to get started with AWS quickly.
I have about 3 years of experience with Docker, deploying locally and using AWS ECS. I know ECS, Fargate, Docker, and Linux internals very well. I currently manage multiple production ECS clusters. I’ve done containerization of existing systems, and developed new systems from scratch to run in containers directly. I have transitioned them from non-AWS infrastructure to an AWS-only infrastructure, while still meeting all SLAs during the process.
I've set up a few CI/CD systems on AWS using CodePipeline and its family of tools. I’ve setup HA Jenkins in AWS as well. I’ve done CI jobs that deployed to Lambda from changes to a Cloud9+CodeCommit setup. Another is a far more extensive system using a dev/prod infrastructure and deploying multiple docker containers to ECS via ECR with Github as a source.
Types of work I do:
- Consulting: How to solve a problem, without actually solving it.
- Doing: Solving your problem based on your existing understanding of how to solve it.
- Concept: Exploring how to get the result you are interested in.
- Research: Finding out what is possible, given a limited scope (time, money) and your resources.
- Validation: Providing guidance that your existing or new team is going to solve your problem.
I'm looking for one-time and ongoing projects.
I’m in St. Louis, and am generally available on short notice throughout the day, 9a-9p CST. I can also be scheduled to be available at specific times (holidays, weekend, nights, etc) and can share my calendar of availability.
