Signal Zerg Cloud Abstraction

Core Accomplishments

• Multi-Cloud Provisioning Gateway: Designed and developed Zerg, a custom Python/Flask application wrapping Apache Libcloud that provided a unified API and web panel to create, bootstrap, and terminate virtual machines, while automating DNS record sync across environments.
• Unified Configuration Management: Restructured Signal's Puppet configs so that development, staging, and production environments shared the same base classes.
• Local Sandboxing: Built a local development virtual machine workflow using VirtualBox, allowing developers to test infrastructure changes locally via git branches before deploying to AWS or OpenStack.
