As a consultant for Wabtec, I worked with a team to move 4 Angular SPAs, 12 Spring Boot applications, and 45 Spring data ingestion services from GE infrastructure to a Wabtec managed Kubernetes cluster. I migrated applications from RabbitMQ to the provided Apache Kafka instance, and simplified processes by removing Axon/CQRS dependencies (while maintaining performance metrics). To support the new data ingestion pipeline, I delivered a custom Apache Mina based sFtp server that leveraged Kafka to notify services workers and deliver real-time data processing. I designed GitLab pipelines to build and test these new services, and used Kustomize to manage their deployment configuration.

As a Lead Software Engineer, I provide technical leadership for a business-critical web application composed of seven frontend modules in Angular/AngularJS, over twenty backend services in Java Spring, and eight ERP integrations. I support our custom Jenkins-based CI/CD process that builds, validates, and deploys services to CloudFoundry environments shared by three major applications. I regularly monitor the health of our ecosystem using NewRelic, perform maintenance and updates to our databases, and engage with our support team to diagnose problems and resolve tickets.

New Orleans, La, Us

I designed and taught Advanced Web Frameworks, a lab-based course covering web application development in a business environment using industry-standard frameworks such as Angular and Spring. The course introduces students to best practices such as feature refinement, iterative development, version control, and automated testing. Using repetition and progressive autonomy, the course prepares students to research and produce a final project implementing technologies and features not directly covered.

San Ramon, California, Us

As a Software Engineer, I was a full-stack developer on a pod of seven team members in a large-scale Agile environment. I was responsible for delivering high-impact features for a large, cross-platform web application used by field service engineers. I implemented both backend (Spring) and frontend features (Angular/AngularJS), as well as provided support for our application infrastructure on CloudFoundry. With my team, I engaged with stakeholders to clarify business processes, estimate levels of effort, and gain acceptance for completed features.
