At Cisco, I worked on developing a Cisco branded Angular 4 seed project that would be the basis for new Angular 4 apps developed within the company. This included the development of custom UI components and style packages that can be imported into a project via NPM or found by default in the seed project. Utilizing this component library, I also began working on a telemetry app for some of Cisco's services. The goal was to monitor thousands of transactions, at varying intervals and points of time, to get a "heartbeat" of each process in its state of flux. This app was being developed with REST APIs via a C# backend, Angular 4, Typescript, HTML, and SASS. Each project is housed in a GIT repository and uses Grunt for the frontend build process.

While at First Data (Transaction Wireless / Gyft Solutions), I revamped their fraud monitoring suite of web applications. The goal was to modernize it, add more robust functionality, and get it ready for 3rd party users. I not only did that, but found new ways to integrate services into the application that added more value to the users - while steadily parsing through thousands of transactions per day. This was all done in a PHP environment, utilizing custom Javascript, jQuery, Ajax, JSON, Angular, HTML, CSS / LESS, and various other development libraries.
