* Leading team of developers spread across the United States and India for U.S. WrkPlan Products.* De facto System administrator and DevOps Engineer for U.S. WrkPlan.* Project managing and prioritizing WrkPlan development using tools such as Azure Boards. - This includes hosting and coordinating recurring meetings.- Established and maintaining processes for requirements gathering, collaborating, testing, peer review, approvals, deployments, backlog grooming, and more.* Handled migration for splitting off company ARBLLC (WrkPlan) from Global Systems Technologies. This includes:- Migrated MS SQL Server to AWS RDS. Includes automation for individual database back-ups beyond what AWS RDS supports.- Migrated many web applications (along with creating test environments)- Migrated some Windows services applications- Migrating the website wrkplan.com, a WordPress application, including conversion from Windows Server to a Linux Server and a test server. Also includes a MySQL migration to AWS RDS.* Setup new DevOps Infrastructure including:- Completely automating SSL renewals using AWS Certificate Manager and AWS Elastic Beanstalk (SSL's had to be manually renewed on Web Servers prior to this.)- Completely automated web server deployments, including pipelines, between Azure and AWS so that developers only need push their code to the relevant branch.- Setup Single Sign-on, with enforced MFA, so that developers can use Microsoft credentials to access AWS resources.- Setup VPN's and Security (using enforced MFA) to ensure only those that are authorized to access sensitive data may do so.* Programming languages used to support WrkPlan primarily include C# and MS SQL Server. I've also used JavaScript, MVC, Crystal Reports, Razor, LINQ, Entity Framework, xUnit, and others to support WrkPlan.* Enhanced WrkPlan with automated bank reconciliation using actual bank data from Plaid. Includes creating pairing algorithm.

Currently looking into a mobile app and serverless data architecture opportunity. Planned technologies may include Swift and Azure. The app involves optical character recognition using the IOS camera and Azure Serverless Functions and Cosmos DB Gremlin Graph NoSQL.
