I'm a senior DevOps engineer working for GDIT on a contract for NIAID. I am part of a team of engineers who build and support a custom platform for IT services delivery. We integrate several tools and services to provide a secure, cloud-based, infrastructure and application deployments incorporating infrastructure as code and providing CI/CD tools and practices for our users. I'm personally responsible for leading a small part of our team responsible for the web-services side of our operations; I currently spend most of my time architecting and writing new and expanded microservices in Javascript (NodeJS).

Additionally, a large part of what we do is customer outreach; our team hosts monthly webinars to discuss methods and practices both within our platform as well the industry.
