Responsible for developing, analyzing, researching, and resolving system issues. Interpreting medium-to-complex user stories encompassing the development of complex features and service requests in the Agile Methodology. By identifying technical deficiencies, proposing, and building solutions to address them as well assisting and training junior developers on more complex OOP and design principles we have successfully maintained linear growth in story point completion. Extensive use of SQL by building and using Tables, Stored Procedures, Synonyms, Triggers, and performance metrics to identify and resolve inconsistent bugs.Key Achievements:- Introduce dynamically extensible solutions to team and provide training on decoupling code using dependency injection.- Build standardized departmental library with commonly used functionality and deploy to NuGet for easy implementation.- Standardize and improve software documentation by building standard operating procedures, enhancing design documents with object relational models and process flows.- Provide extensive training to junior developers on both SQL and C# standards utilizing Clean Code Principles.

Software Engineer and key resource for continuous improvement planning and implementation. Lead architect in converting current code set from structured to object-oriented design principles. Primarily coding in C++ and Python for scientific instrument programming as well as building solutions to perform automated testing of instruments.

Design and development of custom software integrations primarily in C# with MS-SQL, allowing the import and export of data between Lenel’s OnGuard Access Control System and client systems. Solutions are evaluated and upgraded annually with enhancements made on request. Responsible for evaluating client needs, analysis and solution design. Last-minute changes are often requested by clients during deployment requiring quick-thinking instant solutions.

Principle programmer as well as key resource in the design and construction of field deployable radiometric data collection unit. The unit samples thermal data every second and uploads the data every 24 hours, along with geographical information to a remote server for processing. A lot of effort is placed in ensuring a small footprint for the solution since it is running on very low power and low resource hardware.

Part time while completing BSc degree. Advanced electives were all independent studies focusing on Java, C++ and Python implementations in both Windows and Linux environments.

Redesigned Python-based scripts that use satellite and reanalysis data to calibrate satellite sensors into an end-to-end application in Python, using OOP.Configured Ubuntu (Linux) LAMP server with MariaDB database and write Python code to automatically create database tables and populate the tables with the analysis data from the program.
