Architected and built several core systems and services. Lead a team developing a C# REST API, Python/Django API, XML customer APIs, fuzzy data searching algorithms, database architecture and implementation, network infrastructure, data center build out, workflow operations platform, and more.

Worked with clients to understand requirements, associate tasks and goals with each project, and assist in seeing each project through to completion. Helped to architect and design systems, both ground up and not, to help each client reach their long term goals. Primarily working in VB/C#.NET and Python/Django.Direct reports: 2

Designed and built plugins for multiple contracts using Magento e-Commerce. Helped design and build an internal operations platform in Python/Django for one client.

Primary developer on a number of the company's client projects. Among my work was building a JavaScript driven web portfolio for a high profile marketing agency, a subscription system for a personal wealth site, a video support system for dental procedures and several other projects.

Wrote from scratch a multi-level marketing order entry system. This system allowed a "consultant" to enter both hosts/hostesses (who received certain discounts on products) and customers into an ordering system, apply products to each individual person, and place an order using a credit card. The actual credit card processing was done by an in-house.

The bulk of the work at this employer was done on tickets entered by other employees regarding the backoffice and virtual tour systems. The final project I worked on was a drag and drop CD label builder for the web written with PHP4, lots of JavaScript and PDFLib 6.

Work mostly consisted of taking dynamic sites built using JSPs and converting them to static HTML. I developed a template that I could easily drop content into. For more dynamic appearing stuff, I used JavaScript and cookies to make the user experience nearly identical to the dynamic site on the static pages. These "demos" were burned to a CD and taken to.

In the 8 months I was employed at TaxWorks, I was promoted from Level 1 Support to Level 3 Support and worked on a small team that dealt with advanced customer issues. We also did software testing on the upcoming year software and worked with the developers directly to take care of issues.
