Over seven months, contributed to the CMSgov/ab2d-bcda-dpc-platform by delivering 25 features focused on cloud infrastructure, security, and observability. Developed and modernized CI/CD pipelines using Terraform and GitHub Actions, standardized CloudFront and S3 deployments, and enhanced monitoring with Datadog and CloudWatch integrations. Implemented secure credential management via AWS Secrets Manager and SSM, improved incident response with Slack and VictorOps alerting, and enforced code quality through SonarQube and Snyk. Leveraged Python and JavaScript for scripting and automation, aligning infrastructure as code practices across environments. The work enabled more reliable, auditable, and secure deployments for multiple CMS cloud applications.
June 2026 performance summary for CMSgov/ab2d-bcda-dpc-platform focused on security-hardening of credentials provisioning and enhanced observability, enabling secure, auditable access to Datadog and more reliable incident response for BlueButton. Key work delivered included expanding Datadog credentials provisioning via AWS Secrets Manager with KMS-based sharing and creation of BluesButton keys, plus dedicated engineer/observer roles with read-only infrastructure access; implemented Slack and VictorOps alerting via webhooks with YAML-based monitors and validated end-to-end in test environments. These changes reduce blast radius, improve governance, and shorten incident response cycles.
