Work History

MTS 1, Software Engineer

PayPal Inc.
Scottsdale, AZ
10.2018 - Current
  • Work under Agile methodology to design and develop modules and functionalities for multiple applications to perform administrative operations around Load Balancer, DNS, Certificate and Bare Metal Provisioning.
  • Implement REST Web Services for managing F5/AVI Load Balancer related entities like Server, Service, Pool, VIP, Profile, Policy, Monitors, etc on CRUD operations with Spring framework.
  • Refactored logic around synchronizing data from Maria DB cluster to CMS(Content Management System) to improve stability and performance for new metric requirements.
  • Implemented Keystone client library which is used by multiple applications to perform Keystone authentication.
  • Implemented Authentication Filter library which is used by multiple applications to perform authentication using either LDAP or Keystone or No-Auth, and integrated with Spring Security to do role validation based on scope of Web Services endpoints.
  • Initialized and implemented IRE application to gather and present consolidated reports regarding of multiple types of metric data generated by our applications using AngualrJS and NodeJS.
  • Led the team in removing distributed lock from Skynet(Load Balancer as as service) and replace with generic optimistic lock detection and retry mechanism integrated with JPA to improve performance, reliability to get application ready for higher volume of traffic using by other teams.
  • Designed and developed functionalities and DB schema for fetching real-time statistics including status and connection total from Load Balancer for entities like VIP, Server, Pool, and Service.
  • Designed and implemented Certificate Management suites (Compass, Certificate Management Portal and Hub and Meridian, Certificate as a service) which is the one-stop shop for TLS/SSL certificates life-cycle management and deployment. Customers could utilize the suites to rotate certificates on VIPs in few clicks with fully automated processes, and customers are provided with granular controls over the events including immediate rollback ability. The application is now widely used and contributes significantly in completing the ecosystem built around our applications in PayPal and GoPay, China.
  • Enhanced Vault Client for Secret Server and integrated it with our application. Designed and initialized the first implementation of Vault Client for Hashicorp Vault.
  • Independently implemented Single-Transaction module in Skynet to boost performance in large amount of concurrent service addition/deletion calls (up to 500 concurrent hosts sending multiple requests concurrently to shared pools on a single load balancer) to accommodate with requirements got from upstream customers under the circumstances that load balancer itself becomes the performance bottleneck, which is critical in integrating Skynet into service flex-up automation process.
  • Designed and implemented Bare Metal Daemon(BAMD) application for agnostic bare metal provisioning/de-provisioning service for multiple vendors(Supermicro, Dell, HP and Lenovo) and SKUs which servers for 55K+ assets in PROD to enable automation in setting up new asset or repurposing any existing asset to ready-to-use state.
  • Mainly responsible for managing DHCP services in PROD for ILO subnets in high availability mode to enable BAMD for bare metal provisioning/de-provisioning.
  • Collaborated with OSCAR team to get the automated OS image publishing process in-place to reduce the overhead and make the new images available immediately for bare metal provisioning.
  • Collaborated with the ecosystem and drove the solution of designing and implementing DNS notify message based automated CMS ILOM update workflow in UnifiedDNS to cover the ILO NULL ownership gap, which frees the onboarding team from manually performing certification and validation for SecOps team. CMS ILOM entities are now dynamically updated whenever the IP of it changes in near real time.
  • Contributed to build all base(DB, Tomcat, Redis) and application(Skynet, UnifiedDNS, Compass, Meridian and Hawkeye) docker images for the team and complete deployment processes with native docker and docker-compose. Solely responsible for implementing StatefulSet for BAMD/DHCP deployment process to PROD Kubernetes clusters.
  • Collaborated with GoPay SAEO team to design and implement the Hashicorp Vault based Certificate Inventory as the replacement of Meridian in GoPay, Chine due to ecosystem differences and challenges.
  • Engaged and contributed to GoPay environment setup including repository mirroring, application deployment and troubleshooting, knowledge transfer and support for counter party, process was delivered prior to deadline with all applications working as expected.
  • Helped with patching docker images for vulnerabilities based on scanned report generated by TwistLock in time manner.
  • Contributed to all phases of development cycle including planning, design discussion, implementation, testing, deployment and monitoring.
  • Stayed on 24/7 on-call rotation for application support during normal days and holiday-readiness seasons.
  • Wrote functional test cases using JMeter and Apache Groovy which is executed in high frequency in UAT environment 24/7 to make sure applications are running properly and efficiently. Introduced live functional tests in PROD for all our applications and made them available through Jenkins instances as part of the weekly deployment process.
  • Perform trouble shooting directly for teams that use our applications. Diagnose and fix defect in timely manner.
  • Collaborate with cross-functioning teams to maintain Infrastructure operations are executed successfully.
