   Coinbase Cloud · Full-time

   • Platform Engineer

     Apr 2021 - Jul 2022 · 1 yr 4 mos

     Shifted away from my DevOps/SRE day-to-day as an Operator, to focus on longer term product development and platform engineering. Lots more coding and planning, less hacking (which I missed) but also less late night firefighting. Working on our Query Transact product from its early days, I joined as a developer on our shared version - opening up free access to the public. Our goal was to let anyone query or transact on any blockchain, easily.
