Keeping security and observability as shift-left and forefront concerns, I've successfully implemented projects that need to adhere to strict compliance standards including SOC 2, HIPAA and PCI.
From hands-on experience with penetration testing tools and remediation to directing teams on managing risk, I have well-rounded knowledge in keeping systems and applications secure.

With regards to containerization, I have experience with Docker Compose, turning applications into services that are easily scaled up/down.
I have extensive experience with Linux Redhat and Debian-based systems, as well as provisioning tools such as Ansible and AWS CloudFormation.

The highly-performant platform manages dynamic Interactive Voice Response (IVR) applications in real time, handling hundreds of incoming calls per second using Asterisk PBX, Adhearsion, and JRuby.
