Site reliability engineer

In my role as a site reliability engineer (SRE), I contributed & lead the development, maintenance, & operation of a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) utilizing the open-source software Cloud Foundry. This involved overseeing the creation & management of a robust infrastructure to support the platform’s functionalities. To effectively deploy Cloud Foundry, we leveraged Bosh for VM orchestration & ConcourseCI for delivering updates to the PaaS.

As part of my responsibilities, I managed a team comprising 8 engineers with diverse specializations. My aim was to help coordinate their efforts towards the successful implementation & enhancement of our PaaS solution. This involved delegating tasks, providing guidance, & ensuring smooth collaboration among team members.

Additionally, I took charge of designing & publishing compliance diagrams essential for securing FedRamp JAB Authorization. These diagrams outlined our adherence to stringent regulatory standards, ensuring the platform’s suitability for hosting sensitive government systems.

To facilitate broader adoption of our platform across the US federal government, I led training sessions & workshops focused on showcasing cloud.gov features. These sessions were designed to educate stakeholders about the capabilities & benefits of our PaaS solution, encouraging its integration into various government agencies.

I actively participated in on-call rotations & incident response training to ensure the platform’s reliability & resilience. This involved promptly addressing any issues or emergencies that arose, implementing effective solutions, & refining incident response procedures for future incidents.

Through our concerted efforts, we successfully built & maintained a robust PaaS solution using Cloud Foundry. By managing a skilled team of engineers, designing compliance diagrams, conducting training sessions, & actively participating in incident response activities, we achieved broader adoption of cloud.gov across the US federal government. Our platform’s reliability, security, & user-friendly features positioned it as a trusted choice for hosting critical government systems, contributing to the modernization of digital services in the public sector.
