Wrote my 3rd Java commit, this time a lambda function to handle type encapsulation. Tested parallel streams (it wasn't faster for today's scale) and eliminated manual List<String> maintenance. ☕

Became an AWS Operational Champion, shepherding teams through pre-launch, region expansion, and recurring reviews of best practices. Externally, this is very similar to the AWS Well-architected Pro...

Formalized a Change Management program with my organization. Became one of our first three Change Management Bar-raisers.

Wrote a doc, reviewed with leadership, and published my organization's tenets. This was key to formalizing our culture and is a mechanism for making decisions when there seems to be no alternative.

Read The Phoenix Project, finally. It crystalized the focus my team needed to excel at our work. I changed how I prioritized, individually.

Read Culture Making: Recovering Our Creative Calling by Andy Crouch. Highly recommended!

First Java commit (with unit tests), used globally by Amazon internal deployment service. Implementation prevented host PKI in new regions from breaking.

Automated 100% (5/5) of my customer's pipeline deployments. 🏁🏆

Wrote net-new package to automatically provision secure host configurations for global datacenter expansions. This eliminated about 25% of manual activities during a service build. 🔥📃

Refactored infrastructure as code to the point that one commit made 36 services safer to deploy.

Got called "Code Batman" when accidentally solving a problem that was plaguing Amazon Retail. My code reviewer also promised cookies. No cookies were delivered. 🚫🍪
