• Worked part-time to construct my single-family primary residence and an auxiliary dwelling unit, overseeing every phase of construction from land acquisition to move-in.• Designed the site, floor plan, mechanicals and energy efficiency details.• Navigated all administrative tasks: budgeting, permitting and inspections.• Scheduled each phase of construction, facilitated communication between contractors, and identified issues to be resolved.

• Worked as a Team Lead supporting an eCommerce fulfillment platform built using C#/.NET, Node and AWS.• Left after a short tenure to pursue an exciting opportunity at Opcity, which was later acquired by Realtor.com.

• Most work focused on refactoring legacy code into multi-tenant microservices, primarily leveraging Java and Docker to strive for meeting "Twelve Factor App" best practices. Additionally focused on improving automated testing with an eye towards continuous delivery.• Chosen to lead a 3-month "boot camp" in the Summer of 2016. The program was for the on-boarding of 14 new engineering hires from Computer Science programs at University of Texas Austin and Rice University.• Throughout tenure, worked closely with product and engineering management to scope, design and prioritize functionality. • Early work focused on improving consistency and maturity in a legacy, monolithic code base. Notable examples include adoption of Browserify, identifying and separating product database schemas, and increasing Node.js unit test adoption.• Upon joining the company, successfully navigated a personal transition from nearly a decade of Microsoft-based technology stacks to open source technologies, including Node.js, Postgres and Python.

• Developed, in a SAAS-based model, web applications analyzing data warehouses of hospital system data. The applications provided metrics and analysis to reduce costs and increase revenue.• Operated in a start-up like environment during 2010, juggling quality issues and new development with very few resources. Emerged as a leader as entire development organization grew from 15 to 150+.• Promoted from Software Engineer to Lead Application Developer in April 2011. Current team size is 30+ developers.• Collaborated extremely closely with Product Management to define road map. Scoped functionality and provided estimates across all areas of the product.• Led and worked with developers in Austin and India to execute on implementation of new functionality. Mentored and built relationships with offshore developers, via physical visits and remote meetings.• Revamped the continuous integration process to run builds, unit tests and integration tests across branches.• Fought for and acted upon the idea of drastically improving deployment automation. Took ownership of the internal deployment automation application and worked with other product teams to create centralized build artifacts.• Introduced significant refactoring into code base and process by advocating and leading a switch to MVC and Domain Driven Design.• Worked with other senior developers to build a culture focused on automated testing using NUnit and .NET mocking libraries.• Optimized performance via tuning of complex SQL queries. Advocated for switch to RAM-based architecture to significantly boost performance.• Organically created a centralized API to serve as a “Deployment Metadata Repository”, creating a single source of data for web service routing and deployment tools.

• Designed and built new functionality for web-based email marketing platform.• Developed using Java, Struts, Tomcat and SQL Server.• Wrote automated tests using JUnit.

• Designed, developed and tested modules in N-Tier Portfolio, Order Management and Compliance system, with primary development in C#, C++ and SQL.• Discovered, investigated and resolved defects in said system.• Created advanced managed plugin architecture over largely unmanaged code base,allowing for rapid prototyping and development of new modules to be done in C#instead of C++.• Deployed Windows Communication Foundation to refactor existing transport layertowards a Service Oriented Architecture.• Developed with Windows Presentation Foundation to create rapid prototypes,advanced visuals, improved user interface, and powerful new features.• Served as learning resource to other engineers new to .NET, C#, WCF and WPF.• Performed database development against SQL Server, Sybase and Oracle.• Worked with Product Management team to identify and capture requirements, and toscope features within context of project deadlines.
