Field Engineer at ALTR
I work where enterprise customer needs meet software, data platforms, and security.
I turn unclear workflows into integrations, demos, and technical solutions—then bring what the field reveals back to the product.
How I work
At ALTR, I work directly with security, data, and engineering teams throughout technical evaluations and implementations. The artifact changes—an integration, automation, proof of concept, demo, or troubleshooting plan—but the way I approach the work stays consistent.
Learn how the system works today, who uses it, and where the friction is.
Surface technical constraints, security needs, and what a useful result looks like.
Create an integration, automation, proof of concept, demo, or reference implementation.
Validate behavior, inspect logs and metrics, reproduce issues, and communicate findings.
Turn recurring needs into product feedback, reusable patterns, and clearer documentation.
Experience
I joined ALTR as an intern in June 2024 and progressed into my current Field Engineer role. I contribute across the customer process, from discovery and technical evaluation through building, validation, troubleshooting, and iteration.
Work directly with enterprise security, data, and engineering teams during discovery and technical evaluations, translating workflows and requirements into technical solutions.
Develop integrations, automations, proofs of concept, demos, scripts, and reusable implementation patterns.
Investigate customer-reported and production issues using logs, metrics, testing, and issue reproduction.
Bring confirmed defects and recurring field requirements back to Product and Engineering with clear context.
Working stack

Deployed system · Aug 2023—Present
This site is a deployed serverless application. CloudFront and private S3 serve the frontend; a Python Lambda Function URL and DynamoDB power visitor tracking. Terraform provisions the stack and GitHub Actions handles deployment.

Public product code · Merged contributions
ALTR’s public Python MCP server lets AI clients interact with the Data Security Platform. My merged contributions cover server and version behavior, safer configuration, release automation, documentation, and tests that guard against drift between registered tools and docs.

Outside work
I also read, hike, golf, follow Formula 1, and occasionally turn those interests into small software projects—including a Strava API integration for this site.
