  An intership position that was gained through the Summer of Tech program in Wellington. This involved working on infrastructure projects with my manager, providing new tools or processes for use by the rest of the team. The technical side involved deeper dives into AWS and Docker, introductions to technologies like AWS Elastic Container Service, Puppet and Serverless Framework, and building on development languages like Ruby, NodeJS and Bash scripting.My first large project involved the creation of an Elastic Stack (Logstash, Elasticsearch, Kibana). We logged into AWS Cloudwatch at the time, but it was a difficult interface for team members to search through. While this task was my first with a large infrastructure design component, this was also an opportunity to bring together experience from nearly every minor task up to that point; Serverless Framework, configuration management, and networking inside AWS to name a few. In the end, with great management and feedback from the team, I could present a system design that can scale as needed for log ingestion, split logging by staging/production, and generally be a friendlier experience to diagnose platform issues with thanks to Kibana. This project, along with most others like it during my internship, was something I was glad to be able to see used and improved upon even well into my continuing position at Sailthru Mobile.
