Present)\n\n#### Platform, D-Wave Systems\n\n- 2024 D-Wave Hackathon Winner\n- Lead the strategic design of a global quantum computing platform\n that enables fleet-level scaling and calibration. \n- Spearheaded the first major infrastructure expansion in 5 years by deploying a new US-East quantum compute region, directly supporting internationaloperational growth.\n- Ingtegrated Quantum Processing Units (QPUs)\n into Kubernetes, enabling direct, high-performance access from the\n container orchestrator.\n- Contributed upstream enhancements to Talos Linux, creating a new paradigm for quantum workloads analogous to GPU utilization in Machine Learning.\n- Resolved a critical performance bottleneck in a low-level driver\n stack that had historically plagued both deployment velocity and\n quarterly maintenance cycles, resulting in a more stable,\n incident-free system that consistently meets uptime targets\n\n#### Processor Development Software, D-Wave Systems\n\n- Managed the development, maintenance, and operation of all quantum\n computers in the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Canada, and North\n America\n- Created a containerized development environment reducing developer\n onboarding time from weeks to a day.\n- Improved workload scheduling and end-user problem submission by\n developing a kubernetes operator\n\n#### Development Operations, D-Wave Systems\n\n- Increase deploy frequency by 50% by implementing zero-downtime\n deployments with CI/CD best practices\n- Provided a self-service platform for teams by designing and\n deploying bare-metal GPU clusters into production.\n- Oversee junior developers and interns, including hiring and\n conducting interviews\n\n### DevOps Engineer, Enterprise Container Management, SUSE (2021 - 2023)\n\n- Oversaw the release process as the primary release captain of k3s\n with 100% KPI success\n- Operated production infrastructure across hybrid cloud environments\n (AWS, GCP, Equinix, and On-prem)\n- Designed a suite of internal tools to unify team efforts and\n automate the release process\n- Developed a SLSA Compliant CI/CD System\n- Fostered a culture of safety around critical operations\n\n### Software Developer, DevOps Department, cPanel - Houston, TX (2020 - 2021)\n\n- Developed a containerized development environment that decreased\n onboarding time by over 90%\n- Automated existing production deployments with GitLab CI/CD that\n increased deploy frequency from quarterly to daily/at will\n- Captured metrics (DORA) in an ELK/Influx stack on multiple projects\n- Created a reliable and repeatable process for delivering software\n efficiently by standardizing infrastructure with\n infrastructure-as-code principles\n- Cultivated test driven developments for infrastructure to ensure\n developers\\' success in building robust, high-quality software\n\n### Software Engineering Consultant / IT Operations Manager, Ergosphere LLC - Houston, TX (2018 - 2021)\n\n- Implemented company-wide security protocols and technologies\n- Optimized clients\\' daily business transactions by developing and\n maintaining websites and by deploying highly reliable technology\n- Decreased clients\\' operating costs by facilitating cloud migration\n to the cloud\n- Developed a microservice that automated data migration into a\n centralized platform to consolidate, structure, and normalize data\n from 20+ partner carriers\n- Digitized over 20+ years of paper records into a searchable,\n cloud-based office suite\n\n### Research Assistant, University of West Florida - Pensacola, FL (2015 - 2018)\n\n- Developed forensic procedures by testing industry toolsets on smart\n devices\n- Developed a cyber-range for security training, competition, and research in collaboration with IHMC\n- Aided in the development of a Software Assembly Pipeline\n- Designed and administrated a 32 Node cluster-computer\n- Fabricated 3D food printing mechanisms\n- Modeled hydrodynamic drag forces of satellite tags on marine life\n- Manufactured and designed application specific tools using CNC\n machines & 3D printers\n\n## Publications\n[~P1]: **Design Opportunities for Sea Turtle Satellite Tracking Devices**\n\n *ASME 2018 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, 2018*\n\n[~P2]: **A Pilot Study on Introducing Continuous Integration and Delivery into Undergraduate Software Engineering Courses**\n \n *2017 IEEE 30th Conference on Software Engineering Education and Training (CSEE&T), 2017*\n\n## Education\n**Western Governors University**\n\nPursuit of B.S. in Software Engineering\n ~ 0X/20XX -
