Behind the Shield

Inside InfusionPoints Development: Command Center, FedRAMP 20x & Hackathon Builds


Listen Later

Go Behind the Shield with a special 3-segment episode, hosted by Jason Shropshire, featuring members of the InfusionPoints engineering team as they break down what they’re building, how they’re building it, and the lessons learned along the way. Recorded after hours during Hackathon week, this one’s a little less buttoned-up in the best way. Expect real talk, real lessons, and a few laughs as the engineers unwind.

Segment 1: Meet Chris Eaves and Gavin Blankenship from R&D as they share how they found InfusionPoints, what it’s like building in a “jack-of-all-trades” environment, and how Command Center became a purpose-built, opinionated GRC platform designed to make complex compliance (FedRAMP, DoD, and more)- manageable without relying on someone else’s roadmap.
They also talk roadmap highlights like automated user onboarding, incident response tracking, and a behind-the-scenes look at building a deployment pipeline to scale Command Center across environments.

Segment 2: Kay and Mike Strohecker join to talk life on the dev team, what Kay’s working on now (vulnerability + asset management), and what it’s like ramping up in the world of acronym soup—especially in the era of FedRAMP 20x. Plus: Hackathon reality check (no sleeping bags required).

Segment 3: Caleb Brinkley (backend) and Matthew Melang (frontend) share what they focus on day-to-day in Command Center, how cross-functional hackathon teams spark better ideas, and how automation (including tools like Power Automate + Teams workflows) can eliminate repetitive work across the business.

And yes… there’s a legendary story about AWS Bedrock, throttling, and an accidental “stress test” you don’t want to recreate.

🎧 Topics covered:

Command Center as a “one pane of glass” for compliance + security operations

FedRAMP 20x and the growing importance of KSIs

Continuous monitoring automation + customer feedback loops

Infrastructure + serverless architecture (Python, AWS services, Terraform)

Hackathon builds: onboarding automation, back-office workflows, and more

Lightning round essentials: dark mode, tabs vs spaces, and dev playlists
