Internal only: 📂 Red Hat Contributions Portfolio
💼 In April, 2026, I transitioned to a startup, ACA Global, working on preventing financial crimes in their new Anti-Money Laundering department.
From December 2024 until April 2026 , I worked as a Principal Software Engineer at Red Hat. Onboarded into the Ansible Controller team for first three months. Then assigned to the new Ansible Inframesh team integrating with all things Hashicorp in Golang on Linux.
💼 September 2024, I concluded my role as a Principal Software Engineer at Dell Technologies. This position included:
-
🌱 Building control planes for two different golang gRPC prototypes. One using microservices deployed on Kubernetes and one with a mono-repo with microservices. Learned how to monitor complex hardware/software systems using Open Telemetry.
-
🌱 Led a six-person team to become finalists in the 2023 ISG (Infrastructure Services Group) Hackathon with a solar-powered edge computing proposal.
📚 I earned a Master’s in Liberal Studies, specializing in Computer Science, Innovation, and Sustainability, from NCSU in May 2023. Previously I graduated with a Bachelors in Computer Science with a minor in biology from UMaine.
