* Work Experience
|
|
** Senior Devops Engineer, D-Wave Systems (2023 - Present)
|
|
*** Platform, D-Wave Systems
|
|
- 2024 D-Wave Hackathon Winner
|
|
- Lead the strategic design of a global quantum computing platform that enables fleet-level scaling and calibration. Spearheaded the first major infrastructure expansion in 5
|
|
years by deploying a new US-East quantum compute region, directly supporting international operational growth.
|
|
- Engineered the novel integration of Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) into Kubernetes, enabling direct, high-performance access from the container orchestrator. This was
|
|
achieved by developing a proprietary driver stack and contributing key upstream enhancements to Talos Linux, creating a new paradigm for quantum workloads analogous to GPU
|
|
utilization in Machine Learning.
|
|
- Resolved a critical performance bottleneck in a low-level driver stack that had historically plagued both deployment velocity and quarterly maintenance cycles, resulting in
|
|
a more stable, incident-free system that consistently meets uptime targets
|
|
*** Processor Development Software, D-Wave Systems
|
|
- Managed the development, maintenance, and operation of all quantum computers in the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Canada, and North America
|
|
- Created a containerized development environment reducing developer onboarding time from weeks to a day.
|
|
- Improved workload scheduling and end-user problem submission by developing a kubernetes operator
|
|
*** Development Operations, D-Wave Systems
|
|
- Increase deploy frequency by 50% by implementing zero-downtime deployments with CI/CD best practices
|
|
- Provided a self-service platform for teams by designing and deploying bare-metal GPU clusters into production.
|
|
- Oversee a junior developer team and interns, including hiring and conducting interviews
|
|
** DevOps Engineer, Enterprise Container Management, SUSE (2021 - 2023)
|
|
- Oversaw the release process as the primary release captain of k3s with 100% KPI success
|
|
- Operated production infrastructure across hybrid cloud environments (AWS, GCP, Equinix, and On-prem)
|
|
- Designed a suite of internal tools to unify team efforts and automate the release process
|
|
- Developed a SLSA Compliant CI/CD System
|
|
- Fostered a culture of safety around critical operations
|
|
** Software Developer, DevOps Department, cPanel - Houston, TX (2020 - 2021)
|
|
- Developed a containerized development environment that decreased onboarding time by over 90%
|
|
- Automated existing production deployments with GitLab CI/CD that increased deploy frequency from quarterly to daily/at will
|
|
- Captured metrics (DORA) in an ELK/Influx stack on multiple projects
|
|
- Created a reliable and repeatable process for delivering software efficiently by standardizing infrastructure with infrastructure-as-code principles
|
|
- Cultivated test driven developments for infrastructure to ensure developers' success in building robust, high-quality software
|
|
** Software Engineering Consultant / IT Operations Manager, Ergosphere LLC - Houston, TX (2018 - 2021)
|
|
- Implemented company-wide security protocols and technologies
|
|
- Optimized clients' daily business transactions by developing and maintaining websites and by deploying highly reliable technology
|
|
- Decreased clients' operating costs by facilitating cloud migration to the cloud [AWS, DO, GCP, Azure]
|
|
- Developed a Python program which automated data migration into a centralized platform to consolidate, structure, and organize data from 20+ partner carriers
|
|
- Digitized over 20+ years of paper records into a searchable, cloud-based office suite
|
|
** University of West Florida - Pensacola, FL (2015 - 2018)
|
|
*** Research Assistant, Cybersecurity & Mechanical Engineering
|
|
- Developed forensic procedures by testing industry toolsets on smart devices
|
|
- Developed a cyber-range for security training, competition, and research in collaboration with IHMC
|
|
- Aided in the development of a Software Assembly Pipeline
|
|
- Designed and administrated a 32 Node cluster-computer
|
|
- Fabricated 3D food printing mechanisms
|
|
- Modeled hydrodynamic drag forces of satellite tags on marine life
|
|
