In a transition to a larger team I have shifted away from a client facing role to a more senior development and operations capacity. I have adopted the company agile mentality and scrum framework with an emphasis on daily standups, backlog grooming, and sprint planning.Notable new contributions to the Software Development Life Cycle include:o Development -Oversee a remote development team and provide Knowledge Transfers for projects I am familiar with. -Ensure proper use of Git version-control, git-flow repository operations, and PSR coding style compliance.o Testing -Review Merge Requests and provide feedback on ways to optimize code by ensuring it is flexible, re-usable, and reduces future technical debt. -Manage the process of approval, conflict resolution, and the final merge.o Deployment -Create stable versioned releases. -Personally deploy to production, as well as simplify and create documentation for the process so that others may follow suit.As for Operations I have become instrumental in creating and updating project environments and infrastructure for local, test, and production environments.

I am a Full Stack developer that is part of a very small team set out to create cloud media portals for the sporting industry. These portals mainly allowed access to video, documents, and tools aimed at learning, preparation, and collaboration for both coaches and players. A large focus of the project involved allowing portal clients to filter large videos, by tagging video events to corresponding data files. Next users will perform a multi-dimensional search usings these filters to return a playlist of the video that they are most interested in. Users may then create custom video files assembled by cutting and concatenating raw video programmatically, that is then downloaded by users on a companion app. These projects involved coordinating with many big clients including those involved with the NFL, MLB, and various International companies. New skills include working with Cloud Computing Services such as Amazon S3 and Elastic Transcoder, as well as Windows 10 App Development.

Took over development of a database driven website with a complex permission system. This system covered customers, invoicing,and inventory for employees, as well as purchasing and support for customers. I improved skills with PHP and Javascript, as well as continuing to implement SQL by the way of MSSQL and SQLite. New skills include a PHP templating system called Twig, and the use of a CSS, and Javascript Library called Foundation. Side ventures include beginning development on a mobile app for Android to be used by salespersons in the field.

I researched and developed an Xbox game using C# and the XNA Framework. Video game elements include Artificial Intelligence, Path-finding algorithms, Graphical User Interfaces, and 3D World Rendering. Object Oriented Programming was highly used with many different abstract, base, and derived classes.

I was tasked with redesigning and improving my company's full website. Existing pages were redone, while new pages were created to fit the company's needs. I used HTML, CSS, and Java Script to create the static webpages. I also created dynamic calendar and photo gallery pages using PHP and MySQL.
