Chris Wilson Email & Phone Number

I am a senior software engineer with extensive experience in agile software development; software product development, innovation, and improvement; and technical team leadership. I love to solve interesting and difficult problems, and I thrive on designing, managing, and streamlining technical processes. My expertise includes back-end development (Cloudant, Express.js & Node.js, Java, MongoDB, MySQL, PHP, PostgreSQL, Python, and Spring Framework); cloud computing and deployment (CI & CD, Docker, Heroku, IaaS & PaaS, Kubernetes, microservices architecture, OpenShift, and serverless computing); DevOps automation; and front-end technologies (Angular, API management & RESTful APIs, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, MVC, React, Saas, and web components). My recent highlights include:• I led a team of 5 developers and 2 designers that built a full-stack web application on Angular, Cloudant, and Node.js that delivered the IBM Cloud Catalog’s key sales feature – an accelerated, self-served, and streamlined onboarding experience. This product accelerated the provider onboarding, review, and approval process by 90% and streamlined provider touchpoints by 83%. • I led a team of 4-5 developers and 1-3 designers that created a JavaScript and REST-based WYSIWYG editor for Drupal CMS, and I integrated the product with Drupal’s REST APIs for content updating and rendering. This product improved the user rating for editing content in Drupal for 61K+ product pages by 59%, and it outperformed the goal for seconds to edit a portion of content by 86%.• I developed and built a CI/CD (continuous integration / continuous delivery) DevOps pipeline for a cloud-based code playground service for IBM APIs on Red Hat OpenShift. By utilizing ArgoCD and Jenkins to automate testing and deployment, I accelerated deployment speed by 93%.• I enabled Carbon Design System with Salesforce Lightning Web Component framework, and I developed a library of 100+ Carbonized web components for front-end developers and engineers. I developed visual regression testing to catch defects pre-development, which expedited defect identification by 80%.
