    Sep, 2021 - Present

    Led the architecture and development of Open Source platform ENBUILD a human-centered UI accelerator that simplifies and automates the deployment of P1's Big Bang DevSecOps platform enabling secure, compliant, and rapid Kubernetes-based software factory setups across cloud or on-premises environments

    • Architected, built, and stabilized the ENBUILD platform as part of the VivSoft Platform Team to support secure deployment of Kubernetes clusters and solutions on kubernetes.

    • Integrated opinionated installations of DoD's Platform One Big Bang and Kubeflow into the ENBUILD platform to accelerate secure, ML-ready environments.

    • Developed backend microservices in Golang for the ENBUILD platform, including LLM-powered chatbots and Terraform code generators

    • Designed and implemented the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to integrate AI-driven insights with observability tools such as Grafana.

    • Created infrastructure-as-code (IaC) using Terraform, Helm Charts, and Crossplane Packages to deliver reusable ENBUILD Catalog items for federal clients.

    • Built and later transitioned from a custom Kubernetes operator in Golang to Crossplane to streamline application deployments.

    • Implemented GitOps workflows using Argo CD and Flux CD for consistent, version-controlled CI/CD across multiple Kubernetes clusters.

    • Created and maintained hardened AMIs and Docker images aligned with federal security standards to ensure secure software deployments.

    • Secured ENBUILD containers and achieved Iron Bank approval, meeting stringent DoD compliance requirements.

    • Deployed robust monitoring and alerting solutions using Prometheus and Grafana to support real-time observability of platform services.
