Peter W.

Summary: • Pragmatic security/ops/automation-minded problem solver. • 30+ years of software development & architecture experience, spanning numerous programming languages and databases (SQL & NoSQL). • 12+ years of DevOps/SRE and Technical Operations experience. • 15+ years of leadership experience (managing & mentoring) with Software Engineering, QA/QE, and DevOps/SRE teams. • Equally comfortable with, and capable of, operating in an individual contributor or leadership capacity; as well as on highly autonomous solo R&D projects, highly collaborative cross-functional team projects leveraging external partners and/or vendors, and everything in-between. • Managed local and geographically distributed teams of up to 20-30 people. • Enjoy developing talent as much as code. Current Role: DevSecOps Current Environment/Tooling: Kubernetes/GKE, GCP, Terraform Previous Role: DevOps/SRE, Kubernetes Cluster Administrator (I managed 20+ clusters of varying scale & configurations), Developer Support, Dockerhub Administrator, VPN Administrator Previous Environment/Tooling: Kubernetes/kOps (helm, prometheus, alertmanager, grafana, ingress-nginx controller, certmanager, kube2iam, calico, fluentd, etc.), AWS (EC2, IAM, S3, Route53, SQS, Lambda, CloudWatch, GuardDuty), RabbitMQ, MongoDB, HiveMR3, Okta, ElasticSearch, Docker, Jenkins, Terraform Notable projects @ previous client: • Assumed ownership of the monitoring stack during my first on-call rotation as a direct result of being unnecessarily paged multiple times per night throughout the week - I transformed a fragile monitoring stack into one that was stable and only paged for issues that required immediate DevOps/SRE intervention to remediate. • Created and successfully executed a migration strategy for zero-downtime MongoDB migrations from non-containerized MongoDB to containerized MongoDB for our largest customers. • Created EBS snapshot-based kubernetes-native backup and restore strategy for containerized MongoDB clusters. • Led Kubernetes/kOps upgrade effort over several releases, including breaking releases that removed deprecated kubernetes APIs.
