Employee Spotlight: Eddie Muller, DevOps Engineer

Q: How long have you been with Membersy? / How has the company changed since you’ve been here? 

A: September 19th, 2022. There have been a lot of new faces that have joined the engineering team. Every day we are getting a little bit more resilient and faster as everyone gets their footing. 

Q: What does your typical day look like? 

A: I typically have a day sketched out in my head, but by 8:15 there’s a good chance everything changes, haha! But in general everything falls in the realm of: helping out the engineering team to achieve their goals, monitoring application and server performance so customers can get the best experience, writing / editing pipelines to speed up processes, and documentation of things that have been done or need to be done.  

Q: How does your role impact customers on a daily basis? 

A: We are an online company; I make sure the ‘online’ stays that way. Behind the scenes, I make sure the customer’s data is safe and content is delivered without a hitch.

Q: What is your favorite part about working for Membersy? 

A: The Bevy machine by far. Second to that is being able to work from home. Unfortunately I can’t get a Bevy machine for my house. 

Q: What is a fact that would surprise your coworkers?

A: I grew up in Saudi Arabia and have a Masters of Music in trombone performance. 

Q: What drew you to Membersy originally? 

A: At my last job I was the Director of Development and Technology for almost 10 years, and felt things were getting too easy. I wanted to hone my skills in something more technical and have a more specialized skill set in a challenging environment. 

Q: What's the most exciting project or achievement you've been involved in at work?

A: Building new software almost from scratch with the team. Greenfield projects are always exciting, and a little stressful, because you can make huge decisions early on that casts the direction of the company in the future.  

Q: What’s the most interesting or unique hobby you’ve had outside of work? 

A: I play music every weekend! It’s great because I sit by myself behind a computer screen on the weekdays and get to talk with and meet new people on the weekend.

Q: What's your go-to karaoke song and why?

A: Mr. Brightside…. Because I sing it every weekend!
