• Collaborated with external partners developing plugins to integrate with an enterprise level backup and recovery software platform, in order to interface with their unique hardware storage configuration. Held regular meetings to discuss API implementation, development challenges, current defects and resolutions and future roadmaps. Included triage and resolution of internal defects discovered during the plugin development process.• Managed defect tracking and resolution for a large area of product code for internally and externally discovered defects. Included interfacing with customers, field engineers, internal developers and testers to help diagnose and more effectively resolve the issue.• Worked as part of a team of developers to design and implement multi-threaded features for a backup and recovery product. Principal responsibilities included working on test infrastructure and optimizing older code in preparation for new development changes.• Automated manual regression tests as part of a highly productive AGILE team using Perl scripts and an internally developed automation engine. This included new test cases and groups of tests, re-working existing automation infrastructure and tests, adding support for new commands or options, and collaboratively testing and verifying new automation fit the intent of the original test.

• Designed and developed a stand-alone research patient data collection tool used by physicians and clinicians in active clinical research trials. This software was used to intelligently gather patient data using branching decision paths and would adjust questions deterministically, and would assist physicians in determining treatment decisions for patients. This software also gathered data from clinical visits to be analyzed for research purposes and later published.• Maintained and updated a workplace safety research website used by a group of clinicians to gather data from clients and recommend treatment based on surveys. Notable improvements included expanded survey capabilities, increased reporting and analysis verbosity.
