future goals as a software engineer. I've recently transitioned to a lead role within a DevOps group as part of a long term inititive to align the operations team with the technical architecture team. As a result of that role change I've been responsible for the analysis, triaging, and assignment of security issues to domain teams.

\noindent Over my last 8 years as a professional software engineer I have worked my way through testing, development, mentoring and leading positions at a variety of companies that specialize in unique market segments. In my most recent role, we've become dedicated users of Elastic products and I've come to appreciate the possabilities that ElasticSearch, Logstash, and Kibanna provide to search, consume, and visualize disparate sources of data in meaningful ways. I'd love to have an opportunity to become a member of the team involved in the production of the Elasticsearch component.
