Tesla Intern

At Tesla, I was a silicon validation engineer. However, my team needed a devops engineer, so that is what I became. They needed to convert their test suite to be more scalable and portable, so I taught myself Docker and Ansible to containerize their suite and automatically deploy/update/destroy it on as many systems as necessary. I also wrote several tests in Python that were added to the testing suite.

MITRE Internship

MITRE hired me as a software engineering intern, and allowed me to increase my knowledge of devops. I created a portable development platform in AWS EKS using Terraform as IaC. The platform offered teams automatically generated accounts, Kubernetes environments, access to a pipelining tool called Concourse with custom made templates, and a monitoring solution called Grafana. Upon completing my internship, my prototype was put into production and is still being run today.

MITRE Full-Time

MITRE was so impressed with my performance as an intern that they hired me directly into a Level 2 position as an intermediate software engineer. My next projects allowed me to actually use the platform I had created and develop several internal websites to be hosted on Kubernetes. I developed 3 React applications. An internal documentation search that indexed multiple documentation sites into a single searchable registry, a schema site for searching and viewing schema data in a tree format, and a landing site for my division that showcased our products and services.
