Defense Unicorns - UDS Core
UDS Core is an airgap ready Kubernetes baseline that provides core functionality (logging, security, authentication, security/compliance) out of the box, providing a cloud agnostic foundation for delivering software to the DoD.
Leveraging lessons learned from experiences at Platform One, I was excited to partipate in a re-imagined implementation of a secure Kubernetes platform. Focusing prominently on an ease of integration and reducing the maintenance burden we built a Kubernetes operator to compliment a strong suite of open source tools.
My areas of focus were on implementing UDS Core's seamless single sign on, which provided applications with a dummy-proof way to provide secure access to their users.

During my time at Defense Unicorns I was honored to be working on Platform One's Big Bang on the Core Security team, which was dedicated enhancing the security posture of the platform.
My contributions included maintaining and implementing Kyverno policies to enforce compliance and best practices, introducing NeuVector as our runtime security tool to bolster container protection, and ensuring mutual TLS (mTLS) across the cluster to safeguard communication integrity.

Concert Genetics - Genetic Test Ordering Platform
Ordering Platform for Genetic Tests - My primary focus during my time at Concert Genetics. I worked extensively
on the Search, Compare, and Ordering components of Concert Genetic's online platform for ordering genetic tests.
My immediate technical focus was on the JavaScript development, but I was also the engineering project owner and
worked extensively to drive engineering planning as well as engage product owners.
Tech: Angular single page application deployed on S3, backed by APIs in NodeJS, C#, utilizing PostgreSQl,
RethinkdDB and Elasticsearch.
Nightwatcher - Home Automation Dashboard
My personal home automation dashboard. Used primarily as a way of exploring new technology with a real world
problem. Also I use it regularly as it is hooked into my home automation setup.
Tech: Angular application written with a NodeJS backend API, communicating to a MQTT server with persistence in
RethinkDB. Deployed on Google Cloud using Kubernetes.
