14 years of experience in startup software development and DevOps across web apps, cloud, and Linux networking. Six years of leadership in teams of up to 7 people.

Looking for an engineering manager or senior IC position to mentor your team and make something people want.

Here are a sample of my accomplishments:

* Built a platform for hosting web apps using Kubernetes at a major cloud provider and taught engineers to operate and improve it. Introduced Terraform, Helm, and incident management processes.

* Led a B2B SaaS company through their first SOC 2 Type II audit.

* Published and maintained the community Apt package for Helm, the Kubernetes package manager, which is downloaded more than 200,000 times per month.

* Trained a team of developers in software patterns, communication, and prioritizing work, leading to a 72% increase in velocity in two months.

* Improved performance of a proprietary VPN by adopting Cython, permitting use of C functions in Python, resulting in a 2.5x increase in network throughput when limited by CPU.

* Created a system to control calls in Asterisk with AI-trained voice commands ("hey asterisk, dial extension 1") https://github.com/mattfox/asterisk-voice-control

All of that? At an expert level? Could you say what are the main advantages/drawbacks of Scala typesytem in comparison with OCaml and Haskell?

I am a software engineer with mastery of the full software development lifecycle, from build systems to observability. I was most recently at Amazon for seven years, where I focused on designing, implementing, and operating tools and services that had organization- and company-wide impact, with my last four years focused on developer productivity and services. One of the achievements I am proud of was scaling the automated build fleet used for builds in CI/CD pipelines for all of Amazon four times, up to over 5,000 worker hosts, handling hundreds of millions of build tasks weekly.

I'm looking for my next challenge, and am looking to relocate to New York City for a hybrid/on-site role. My experience is varied, from devops to platform engineering to developer tools and services. I'm looking to level up my development skills and collaborate with talented people on challenging problems.
