  During my time on Data Reliability (known as D8A), I accomplished a lot: * Operated and administered our remaining store of self-managed Postgres clusters * Developed products which helped service teams take ownership of their data- I discussed our process on the Twitch Engineering Blog, linked below. * Provisioned servers with Terraform, configured them with Puppet, and engineered self-service and database operation tools in Go. * Architected a developer reporting product in Airflow that delivers tens of thousands of viewership reports daily. * Mentored junior hires in our technologies and best practices.In late 2017, the reporting product mentioned above gained enough traction with our customers that it was spun off into its own Insights team where I serve now in a senior role.
