Professional evidence

Experience Digital

Full-stack, DevOps, and cloud-platform engineering across product modernization and delivery systems.

Mar 2022 - Oct 2024 Senior Software Engineer to DevOps Engineer | Full-time React / Next.js / TypeScript / Docker / Terraform / AWS / Azure
  • Worked across application modernization, frontend performance, backend delivery, and platform engineering.
  • Built and maintained deployment automation and cloud infrastructure using established infrastructure-as-code practices.
  • Supported observability and data-platform work across AWS and Azure.

Context

A cross-functional role that expanded from product engineering into delivery infrastructure, observability, and cloud-platform work.

Why it mattered

The role established hands-on range across product code, delivery systems, observability, and cloud infrastructure.

What I owned

  • Product implementation across legacy and modern application surfaces
  • CI/CD and infrastructure automation
  • Production monitoring and cloud-platform support

Constraints

  • Existing applications and databases that had to remain operational
  • Cross-cloud delivery and reporting requirements
  • Product and infrastructure changes with shared release consequences

What I changed

  • Modernized application code incrementally
  • Improved delivery repeatability through CI/CD and infrastructure automation
  • Supported monitoring, diagnostics, and cloud data workflows

Context

Experience Digital was a full-time role that progressed from senior software engineering into DevOps engineering. The work crossed product modernization, delivery automation, observability, and cloud-platform support.

Responsibility

  • Incremental modernization of existing web applications
  • Frontend, backend, and data-layer implementation
  • CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code work
  • Monitoring, logging, diagnostics, and cloud-platform support

Engineering contribution

The role required moving between product and platform concerns without treating them as separate worlds. Application changes had deployment consequences; infrastructure decisions affected delivery speed and operational visibility. The contribution was hands-on engineering across those boundaries.

Production constraint

The systems could not be paused for a clean rewrite. Modernization had to preserve existing behavior while improving application structure, release repeatability, and operational diagnostics.
