Experience
Principal Platform Engineer — Surescripts
Oct 2016 – Present · Portland, OR area
I set the architecture and direction for platform infrastructure across our datacenters: how systems get provisioned, configured, deployed, and kept highly available.
- Infrastructure architecture: Own the design and long-term strategy for multi-datacenter provisioning, configuration, and application high availability, built on Terraform, Packer, and Ansible alongside orchestration tooling we develop in-house.
- Technical leadership: Run the operational standups and cross-team project syncs that keep work moving: triaging high-severity blockers, deciding where engineering time goes, and clearing the path for other teams.
- AI & automation: Design and run autonomous AI agent systems and automated pipelines for internal data processing and alerting. Work that used to consume engineering hours now runs itself, with fewer manual errors.
- Platform health: Lead platform audits that find and remove deployment bottlenecks, shortening cycle times and cutting operational overhead across multi-tenant infrastructure.
