Region launches and feature parity

TestState expansion

I owned the end-to-end expansion of the TestState API into China, GovCloud, and isolated AWS regions. I separated its canary and alarm infrastructure from the HTTP Task connector so the features could launch independently.

I coordinated security requirements, wrote the verification plan, resolved canary and account-limit blockers, and aligned the API and Console releases. The launch used timestamp-gated configuration for June 19, 2025, reducing dependence on pipeline progress on the day.

I also made TestState part of the default configuration for newly built regions, removing the need for a separate feature launch each time.

Isolated-region delivery

I owned an isolated-region Step Functions build through general availability in September 2025. The work required diagnosing automation failures through remote operators and fixing gaps in permissions, package propagation, and region-specific configuration.

For the first Synchronous Express Workflows expansion into isolated regions, I owned the security milestone and fixed assumptions in build automation, DNS, certificates, and deployment ordering. I contributed to the broader launch with the project lead and regional teams.

Earlier region work

In 2023, I led a CloudFormation region-build plan and migrated Step Functions resource providers across six regions. My scope included readiness checks, resource publishing, alarms, cutover coordination, and runbooks.

I later helped other region-build owners with historical context, failure analysis, and rollout planning.
