AT Istation, I am on the web assessment team, and am also a technical liaison for the automation testing team as well. The web assessment team is responsible for delivering Istation's assessments, which are tests designed to accurately measure a child's academic progress and identify those students who are struggling with specific curricula to alert teachers for early intervention. I am responsible for maintenance of these web apps, as well as extending them with new features and ensuring the look and feel of them are consistent. These are all ASP.NET MVC applications, with javascript and heavy use of jquery on the front end.I have also taken on a technical lead role on a new automation testing effort at Istation. We are using Selenium to drive the testing of both our web apps and the desktop software. To drive success the success of the team's ventures, I implemented a full page object model framework in node.js using the new async/await features of ES17 as a prototype. I then ported the framework to the team's Java project for production. I am also the chief technical resource for the team, offering best practice advice and code reviews to the SDETs. Responsibilities and accomplishments:• Introduced font-awesome to the applications• Introduced unit testing to the team and constantly evangelizes for them• Added new capability to convert raw studio audio files to browser supported versions using JS, Jquery, and jsFileTree• Refactored and extended and C# command line apps for possible promotion to hosting as web apps in the future• Took on a technical lead role on a cross disciplinary automation project, leading to the success of the project• Implemented a prototype framework for selenium testing in node.js for an automation testing project and migrated it to Java for production• Generally responsible for maintaining the look and feel of the assessment web applications with the implementation of all new features and defect resolutions

At Allegro, I worked on the valuation team, and also took on devops responsibilities as well. On valuation, we managed the full development life cycle for the Allegro Risk Analytics component. I had to quickly learn the valuation process we used for determining the value of all manner of positions, from simple physical trades with fixed prices, to more complex financial instruments with composite pricing, and everything in between in order to implement enhancements and provide defect resolutions for our customers. All of this work has been in C#. I also volunteered to take on devops responsibilities after a colleague left. I had to learn the tools and code very quickly in order to take on the added role. I had to pick up Ruby, Powershell, and Chef quickly to do this work. In addition, I had to learn the CI/CD pipeline very quickly. While I am still not fully proficient with these tools and languages, I know enough to resolve defects in the pipeline as well as develop some new functionality for it. Job responsibilities:• Supported an ASP.NET client/server application with SOAP web services for the API endpoints• Continuously and quickly learn valuation and other financial business logic• Completed the implementation of a critical unit in the valuation engine• Developed features to analyze complex configurations to detect data errors early• Implemented features that spanned both back-end and front-end systems• Reverse engineered a matrix-style data view to support new development across all of the platform's components• Wrote extensive documentation for all features I implemented as well for all defect resolutions• Efficiently resolved reported defects in multiple versions of the Allegro platform • Volunteered to take on a vacated devops role• Rapidly learned the devops tools, scripts, and codebase• Resolved defects in the devops pipeline and implemented additional features

At MedAssets I worked on two different teams: the Data Management team and the ERA processing team. On the Data Management team, I maintained the data import processes for the applications CDM Master, Claims Auditor, Contract Manager, RegIntegrity, and QMS. My responsibilities included overseeing the daily and monthly data uploads and imports for all of the data incoming and outgoing for these applications. Whenever an issue occurred with any of these processes, I worked to find a solution to resolve it quickly and efficiently. This involved using a wide array of tools from developing Perl scripts to correct data as needed, to utilizing various internal utilities to identify product defects, and analyzing the incoming data and profiling our databases via SQL to devise solutions.On the ERA Processing team, I performed many of the same kinds duties as on the Data Management team, but for the Claims Management suite of applications instead. In this role I engaged regularly with MedAssets clients in the client support support arena to provide them with custom development solutions to address clients' needs. I primarily utilized C# to add functionality to existing custom programming for clients, execute projects to provide additional custom deliverables, and maintain the existing code base of custom software solutions whenever defects arise.Job responsibilities:• Provided extensive software support for a wide variety of applications written in several languages• Debugged and analyzed many applications • Lead initiatives to create/ improve processes to improve workflow • Monitored the processing of customer data imports and exports• Devised software solutions for both client-specific and product-wide issues • Designed and implemented custom tools for the custom development team

At Sevis, I was a field engineer for the Sevis mobile back-haul product. Sevis being a small company, my task list was very expansive and included many different aspects from several parts of the company. My primary responsibility was interacting with clients to help them resolve any and all problems they experienced while using the back-haul device. Often times this meant educating the client about the features, proper use, or configuration of the product, while other times there were underlying hardware or software defects that I would track and coordinate the efforts of the company to resolve. To do this I interacted with clients using many different remote support applications as well as travelling to them to directly assist them as needed.When not supporting customers in the field, I would thoroughly test the upcoming software releases of the product to ensure that no issues would arise while in the field.Job Responsibilities:• Interacted extensively with customers in a customer-facing role• Provided 24/7 customer assistance utilizing a variety of virtual support technologies• Traveled extensively to support customers onsite worldwide • Developed and delivered training on back haul product to both customers and new hires• Thoroughly tested customer-facing product features• Coordinated with development to help implement a highly requested and very important new feature• Managed customer and vendor RMA items

My senior design project was to create a video game on a multi-disciplinary team comprised of artists, level designers, and software engineers. We did a full project life cycle from concept, to design, to implementation, to test, to deployment in an installation executable in just a few months. I was responsible for all of the programming and the maintenance of the build, as well as all of the technical documentation. I also assisted with writing much of the other documentation, testing all of the game's components, and designing a few of the game's levels. On this project I used C# and the TorqueX game engine TorqueX extensively. Project Responsibilities:• Produced supporting code for the TorqueX engine• Produced custom code for level scripting• Designed and implemented an API facilitate level design and art asset utilization• Ported the PC version of the game to Xbox 360• Worked with level designers to manage testing sessions and insure correct and complete feature implementation• Kept abreast of technical issues and find solutions for team use• Assisted in developing documentation - Asset Development Plan (ADP) - Game Design Document (GDD) - Statement of Work (SoW) - Kleenex Test Reports
