I have been working on the Global Order Management (GOM) system, which serves as a routing and processing layer for all orders across Fanatics commerce. With over 6 million orders since I started, to say the GOM system is complex would be an understatement.Leading effort to change culture and code to address the importance of faster feedback loop for engineers to be more efficient. Shortening the feedback loop(do it view it) of changes developers were making allowed us to move faster and have less bugs which, in turn, allows us to release more often and provide value to the customer quicker.I am constantly improving major code bases and databases to make them more extensible, testable, runnable, and maintainable, as to deliver features with confidence while gaining influence within the team/management to enable engineers to perform the same on their own.

Lead a team of engineers to accomplish first ecommerce solution. I designed the architecture, selected the tech stack, and built the majority of it. I provided mentorship, code reviews, communicated/assisted across domains, and added support for rollouts. The frontend was a ReactJS app, with full state management with a redux store and service layer. Not to mention fully unit tested and e2e tests written in Cypress that ran in CICD pipeline for ensuring quality gates before promoted deployments. Backend was a battle ready GoLang graphql API that orchestrated many downstream microservice calls to enable ecommerce business rules to be fulfilled. Designed and Implemented a microservice for document storage and retrieval. This allowed the company to move away from costly Docusign documents and move toward our own in house digital document signing and storage.Built serverless microservices for "text to apply" applications. Where a customer can text a short code on their phone and receive a link to be able to go through our application via phone.

Redesigned the pattern for Score Stat microservices to use graphQL with Apollo Server.Updated the microservices to use the latest ECMA script standardsAdded testing frameworks for every level of the testing pyramid (Jest for Unit and integration and Newman tests for end to end)Create a way to test lambdas locally, so that developers could have the feedback loop shortened, which improved development efficiencyDeployed lambda microservices to AWS API Gateway using serverless framework Added capability to keep Lambdas warm, so that the response time appeared to be much faste

As a full-stack technical lead, I provide my team with guidance on designing, building, and implementing new applications as well as refactoring/rewriting legacy applications, so they become up to speed with current standards or better.Created the design pattern for microservices in all of the Card line of Business. In addition provided two production based microservices built with said design pattern as an example. This pattern not only included the what the microservice was supposed to do, but also things like aggregation of logs in Splunk, hiding of passwords with Hashicorps vault, CICD pipeline for deployments, and creation of infrastructure as code using terraform. Created new team processes to better provide code quality standards checks and balances. (i.e. - git flow, pull request procedures, being agile, etc ...)Using ReactJS and Mobx as a state manager for the front-end and Spring Boot for the backend. I am currently building a User Registration experience that provides the ability for the user to create a username and password with Multi- Factor Authentication(MFA) using mobile phone SMS. In addition to implementing and architecting this application from the ground up I have also provided a clean way to continuously integrate and continuously deploy to all environments as well as provided code quality gates, as to prevent unwanted code from ever being merged.Converting untested, manually deployed, and ill written legacy AngularJS applications to use ReactJS with code quality checks, (all testing paradigms, static code analysis, virus scanning, etc..) triggered by opening a pull request.

At Vizuri I worked on an internally funded financial planning application, named Plynty, which involved advice for financial investments and retirements. This application used a full-stack JavaScript approach which focused on the MEAN (MongoDB ExpressJS, AngularJS, NodeJS) stack pattern. I worked on this project since its conception, and I designed and built the majority of the application's core foundational structure. Additionally, I mentored and taught other developers get up to speed and follow best practices and avoid pitfalls/gotchas. Designed and Implemented a SOA-P solution for a client whom uploads thousands of books a week. Within this project I got to work with people all around the united states to gather information before and during the designing/implementation phase.Before becoming involved in the full-stack application, I was mostly heads down work on Java applications and systems design. I analyzed current applications to try to improve performance/code maintenance, resolve and repair any broken applications, and design and implement Service Oriented Applications(SOA) using enterprise integration patterns.
