Positions
Senior Software Engineer, Processing Platform · Alert Logic
May 2015 — Nov 2017
- Erlang engineer on the original Processing Platform: a distributed-Erlang cluster over Riak doing big-data packet and log processing for real-time exploit and vulnerability detection
- Architected and developed its ground-up replacement from the lessons of the first: serverless Erlang on AWS, with a custom bootstrap that brought an Erlang VM up inside a Lambda function and kept it warm for thirty minutes, fed by Kinesis and SQS, so capacity scaled horizontally with the firehose
- Mentored an intern through building a GraphQL-based incident-analysis platform
