Working in an Agile environment across a modern, event-sourced Ruby on Rails monolith and several Java and Python projects, I maintain and improve existing code while writing new features to support educators in over 21,000 schools with over 12 million students nationwide. I also work to make cross-functional and cross-team collaboration more effective and to improve application security, resilience and performance.Sample responsibilities and work include:* Migrate an acquired Python/Java codebase's functionality into the company's flagship Ruby on Rails product to create $2M in annual recurring revenue and improve user experience, intuitiveness, flexibility and performance* Create new, secure, FERPA-compliant architecture and best practices for data-sharing while adding a new category of user and traffic (trusted family members of students) to a large web application* Investigate, document and fix unused features in an acquired system to provide two new revenue streams* Develop templates adopted by various teams across the organization to improve QA, client on-boarding, retrospective, epic planning, professional development and documentation processes* Improve accessibility, flexibility and robustness of company-wide design system* Increase configurability of client on-boarding to drive client satisfaction and decrease engineering and CX costs* Reduce the number of database queries by 50 percent to decrease page load time by roughly 20 percent within a core feature* Extend an existing data printing feature to support bulk processing to improve scalability for large clients and save individual users 4 hours of manual data collation per use

I rapidly transitioned from a junior role completing assigned technical tasks to a senior member of the full-stack software engineering team who designed, built and maintained a multitude of different applications and successfully advocated for the adoption of many industry best practices. I was also responsible for server management (manual and through AWS and other tools) as well as CI, deploy and release management. Applications primarily used Ruby on Rails, RSpec, JavaScript and SQL and were often HIPAA- and/or FISMA-compliant.Sample responsibilities and work included:* Led development of a high-throughput compound screening application that was deemed so successful by users and stakeholders that I was later asked to convert it from a single organization application to a configurable, multi-organization SaaS (software as a service) product* Rebuilt and expanded a legacy CI pipeline to use modern tools like Docker and GitLab CI* Successfully advocated for the expansion of code review, automated testing and consistent coding standards enforced by sensibly-configured linters* Utilized industry best practices including automated testing, design patterns, varied data structures and algorithms, documentation and benchmarking, profiling and security auditing tools to ensure new and existing code was secure, performant, maintainable and effective* On-boarded and mentored new developers* Translated early-stage user requirements into development roadmaps and iteratively took those projects from ideation to minimally viable products and beyondCreated, expanded and maintained applications for a variety of purposes including:* Scheduling* Bioinformatics analysis* Lab inventory management systems (LIMS)* Clinic management* Subscriptions and billing* Quality assurance* Reporting
