I'm a software engineer specializing in building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Looking for consulting or contract work, working solo or with a team. Some previous projects:
- Built a comprehensive CI ecosystem for a 30+ app polygot environment using Jenkins, Docker and Github. Reduced test suite run time in their monolith from 25 minutes to 10.
- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events https://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-s...

I'm a software engineer specializing in designing and building stable, scalable consumer-facing websites and refactoring large codebases. Currently, I'm helping clients with dev ops problems like setting up web apps to scale for 10x more traffic, profiling/optimizing slow code paths, and building analytics pipelines with AWS.
Before that, I was a principal engineer at Vox Media, and worked on some notable projects:
- Simultaneously upgraded their 81k LOC monolith to Ruby 2.1 and Rails 3.2 with no downtime http://product.voxmedia.com/2014/5/29/5759244/vox-media-ruby...
- Built a live blog for The Verge that handles 1.2 million uniques during iPhone events http://product.voxmedia.com/2012/6/15/5426782/introducing-sy...
- Converted all image processing to Thumbor (https://github.com/thumbor), and scaled it to resize 1.3 million images a day
