Experience
Senior Principal Site Reliability Engineer
Jul 2023 — Present · San Francisco, CA, US
Led critical reliability and resilience initiatives across Autodesk’s Tier0 platforms, focusing on disaster recovery, observability, CI/CD hardening, and game day simulations. Played a pivotal role in advancing architectural robustness and service continuity across 500+ applications and AWS accounts.Architected and implemented a multi-region disaster recovery framework using AWS Failover Manager (FOM), guiding the successful region failover testing of 13 Tier-0 services. Collaborated with engineering, leadership, and program management teams from planning through execution—fine-tuning failover sequences, latency tolerances, and SLAs. This work established Autodesk’s first production-validated, auto-triggered failover strategy, improving resiliency posture across business-critical systems.Spearheaded chaos engineering and game day programs using AWS Fault Injection Simulator. Conducted 23+ simulated failure events across Tier-0 services, yielding over 100 architectural improvements, 35% of which addressed critical failure modes. Benchmarked against AWS School of Resilience to validate enterprise-grade fault tolerance.Led latency optimization for Apigee X on GCP, exposing bottlenecks caused by public internet routing between services. Proposed solutions including private links and AWS-native gateways, supported by global synthetic testing via Catchpoint Sonar.Introduced an Embedded SRE model and built executive and engineering dashboards in Dynatrace to deliver actionable observability insights without requiring AWS Console access. Diagnosed and resolved critical CI/CD pipeline failures in Spinnaker, fixing rollback logic to avoid double-deployment risks.Improved incident response maturity with fire drills, JIRPs, vendor coordination, and customer comms playbooks: Elevated Autodesk’s operational readiness, embedding reliability culture into engineering DNA.
