Operations platform and infrastructure team, building tools for business products and consumer support agents. Designed, lead, and implemented systems for business-wide data privacy protection, infrastructure consolidation, and case management consolidation. These projects have enabled significant operational savings and provided the business partners with new capabilities and better process insight.

Software engineering and consulting, civil engineering design. Only supporting previous clients and employers at this time.

When I couldn't find a good user group close enough to attend, I founded my own. We hold monthly meetings (with lunch/dinner, pre-COVID) and discuss a wide variety of topics. I find the speakers, distribute their workshop code, moderate the Q&A discussion, record the session, and post the videos to our YouTube channel.Previous presentations have covered Accessibility (a11y), Machine Learning, data visualization with D3.js, Angular, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), automated UI testing, Elixir, and serverless cloud computing.

Simplified the domain models and process for standardizing account, asset, and trade data imported from multiple financial custodians and formats (file / API data sources). Reduced dozens of distinct transaction processors into 2 core components, which were extensible to support any custodian format.Built, tested, and deployed Azure Functions microservice for running the improved processor at cloud scale, including credential management and data retrieval, persistence, and cleanup.Reduced data import time, UI delays, and forecasted hosting cost by using on-demand cloud functionality to replace an expensive large-scale App Service with only intermittent workload bursts.

Conducted technical interviews for hiring screening, prepared training material, and guided my peers' career development efforts to help them (and myself) stay current on industry best practices and new .NET technology. Helped design and build internal developer education planning and tracking tools.

I am familiar with .NET Core and a variety of popular front-end JS libraries, such as React and Angular.In my time here, I have built staffing and payroll platforms, animated UI, real-time linked interactive kiosks, payment processing integrations, and render farms.• Developed project requirements with multiple clients and development / management teams.• Built apps in a wide variety of industries, including hiring and payroll, reporting and compliance, and interactive public kiosks.• Built audiovisual generation and playback tools• Integrated US and international payment processors.• Designed APIs and implemented the back and front ends, supported API consumption by native mobile UIs.• Replaced legacy processes and toolchain with modern tools while maintaining existing assets.• Instituted team code reviews, improved management processes.• Lead designer and builder of Federally compliant custom document system for creating, managing, searching, and signing of HR and other documents.• Rebuilt data, business, and UI layers to significantly improve performance and reduce cost.• Added online payment integration for accepting international payments.• Added project and team support for automated testing and wrote unit tests.• Added internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n), and improved translation support for multiple languages, supporting users in over 70 countries.• Scripted automation tools and templates for inter-department content management.• Built and supported interactive touch web apps deployed in public engagement kiosks with connected iPads.• Created a web service to customize After Effects projects using user input and images.• Built a multi-threaded render farm to generate frames, compile videos with FFMPEG, monitor file system changes, and transfer media over WebSockets.

Software development and user support for a GIS app for 811 utility locating field crew.• Redesigned application to add modular asset and work order functionality, and allow for flexible client customization, while maintaining legacy data.• Worked directly with clients to develop technical requirements and specifications; coordinated with development team to implement the resulting requirements.• Extended XML parsing logic to support multiple call center formats across the US.• Created and maintained interactive GIS mapping interface to combine internal data with external GIS mapping services.• Assisted with building Web API REST services for iOS and Angular client apps to consume and edit application data. • Managed deployment, data backups, DNS, and domain registration.• Assisted with client interfaces using ASP.NET, MVC, and jQuery.• Designed, developed, and maintained databases, server code, business logic and data persistence libraries, and client interfaces for business-critical civil engineering web applications.• Wrote custom extensions to add functionality and improve company-wide workflow in AutoCAD, ArcGIS Desktop, SketchUp, and other technical tools.• Redesigned database to add modular asset and work order functionality. • Added cloud-based file and photo storage and automated activity logging.• Extended XML data parsing logic to support multiple data providers. • Helped implement interactive GIS mapping interface that links internal data to external GIS map services for multiple local government entities.• Provided customer support and issue management on multiple projects

Developing custom GIS and map-oriented web applications for engineering clients and internal use, using ASP.NET Web Forms and WebAPI to support native mobile apps. Applications included project management, pavement maintenance, and utility field crew support and documentation, including for sister company / spinoff BlueReview (811 utility locating).I also designed railways, roadway, and site drainage, as well as preparing analysis and reports for rezoning floodplains and moving railroad crossings. I researched best practices and tooling in Civil3D and trained coworkers on them, and built an automated specification generator for customizing project engineering requirements.
