I was involved in project management on a merger integration as Shire acquired Baxalta, two pharmaceutical companies focusing on rare disease. As part of my role I was involved in weekly task tracking, something I noticed was taking much longer to complete than was necessary. Tracking was being done by hand via excel, and I saw that it could easily be automated. To this end, I learned VBA, and wrote scripts that cut the time it took to complete tracking from 2 days to 5 minutes.- Conducted complete digital transformation in task tracking.- Completed product research to determine best practices and technologies.I transitioned to software development, and was part of the digital team developing, from the ground up, a modernized critical global system for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The new system would regularly execute multi-billion dollar transactions, and was highly visible. Though I had experience in front end development, I had to expand immensely to fulfill the duties of the role. By the time the contract ended, I had become a point of contact for new developers, and was regularly debugging across the entire application. I was constantly in conversations with back end developers to design services that would outlive my time, as well as with business analysts to refine the effectiveness of proposed features.- Designed application and product features to create a functional and pleasant developer and user experience.- Completed in depth learning of new technologies, including Angular 4.x with typescript, Jasmine, and reactive programming.- Became a mentor for new developers, and was a point of contact for guidance on how to complete a feature, or learn about a new system.
