• Contributed to the enhancement of the Royal Canadian Air Force's (RCAF) cloud-based JSON API, implementing RESTful design patterns and adding new routes. Utilized industry-standard Swagger documentation to facilitate integration and transparency. The improvements enabled efficient data sharing across various third-party organizations within the Department of National Defence (DND).• Worked collaboratively to de-risk the largest software lift-and-shift that the organization had performed to date while transitioning our application from Azure Cloud to AWS. Provided proof of concept and risk assessment to leadership for critical platform features such as automated horizontal scaling and a multi-database architecture. This resulted in a 3-fold increase in deployment scale with little impact to our pipeline deployment time.• Owned full-stack Ruby on Rails tickets from backlog to user, which included, developing, testing and delivering both front-end and back-end code solutions on a daily basis while meeting product deadlines.• Optimized the serving of static assets with an efficient cache policy using middleware to compress certain response bodies. This reduced the amount of data sent over the network and decreased the average page load times by up to 49% on tested pages.• Conducted research comparing the merits of Factories vs Fixtures in RSpec testing, subsequently optimizing our test suite with FactoryBot to achieve higher code coverage, better maintainability, and alignment with industry standards.

• Designed and developed dynamic front-end interfaces using HTML (Jinja), CSS and JS or React depending on project. • Developed robust backend solutions with Python (Flask), integrating with PSQL via SQLAlchemy.• Connected multiple external APIs utilizing OAuth 2.0 and webhooks enabling customers to seamlessly share data they consented to sharing.• Created multiple scripts hosted on AWS as continuous services that ingested data, cleaned payments data or functioned as automated email outreach.

Designed and developed new features for front-end interfaces using underlying API's and backend systems, implemented new RESTful API's when necessary. Participated in scrum project meetings, supporting the development of company IP by overcoming technical hurdles and uncertainties.
