Zume, Inc
September 2019 - January 2020
DevOps Engineer (Software Engineer I)
Working at Zume before the Seattle office was laid off, I gained hands-on experience with the full DevOps pipeline of code deployment from a local environment to production clusters. I created Kubernetes clusters from scratch in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and installed Helm as well as ingress load balancers. I wrote my own Helm charts and Dockerfiles and created webhooks to trigger the Docker image build process in Jenkins. The process of installing services to different cluster environments (dev / perf / staging / prod) was automated by Spinnaker pipelines that I wrote. I carried a security mindset throughout all my work, setting up alert monitoring and handling cluster authorization. place Seattle, WA | Zume, Inc

Quality Assurance Engineer Intern
MoxiWorks is a real estate tech startup located in Seattle, WA. As a QA engineer, I wrote automated testing software in Java to cover the Moxi suite of web products as well as their external API.
