Goals

My time at Oracle has given me the opportunity to contribute across multiple layers of cloud services, from API and front-end development to DevOps, infrastructure automation, and live-service incident resolution. After several years working within well-established internal frameworks and patterns, I’m eager to take on new challenges: learning a new tech stack, tackling unfamiliar problem domains, and delivering end-to-end solutions in a fresh environment.

Work

2020-Present IC3 Software Developer, Oracle

I joined Oracle Cloud at the start of 2020 and advanced from IC2 -> IC3 through consistent delivery during the shift to full-time remote work. I have invested the majority of my time into a mix of DevOps, infrastructure automation, and ownership of various service user interfaces.

• Contributed to the Application Migration, Vizualization, Data Transfer, Multicloud, Roving Edge, Compute Cloud @ Customer, and Personal Cloud Appliance services and maintenance thereof.
• Delivered across the full stack using bash, ansible, Docker, Java, Python, TypeScript, React, Terraform and a variety of internal OCI tools.
• Participated in on-call rotation, diagnosing production issues via metrics, internal logs, and direct host access, while coordinating mitigations with partner teams.
• Led end-to-end setup of multi-environment infrastructures for multiple services (including VCNs, Subnets, Seclists, Load Balancers, deployment pipelines, service host instances, etc) making use of Terraform (IAC). This included deployments and deliveries to Government realms with stricter compliance and release requirements, as well as meeting internal Corporate Security Solution Assurance Process (CSSAP) standards.
• Re-implemented and modernized multiple front-end codebases using Oracle’s MAUI Typescript framework, ensured VPAT accessibility standards met, and met UX review board requirements.
• Following the most recent re-organization, I maintain responsibility for C3, PCA and Roving Edge with a small team - owning feature delivery, support tickets, and security and maintenance requirements.
