Created a new billing pipeline to facilitate better granularity of usage based billing.Migrated an integral portion of the original billing platform into Kubernetes, which not only increased the stability, but also the observability which was previously lacking.Found and fixed numerous issues that previous engineers could not diagnose. In doing so I was able to fix a very large billing issue that impacted hundreds of customers including very large accounts.Collaborated with and mentored team members on a consistent basis to help increase their knowledge and skills, but also to increase our team’s productivity and impact on our systems.Created and implemented custom metrics and dashboards to improve observability and functionality of internal services.

Migrated our publishing platform from a scheduled daily cron to a scalable, event driven, real-time processing, set of microservices designed for high throughput and reliability. Improved the performance and stability of the publishing platform increasing throughput well over 10x. Due to the improvements made, this brought in over $97m in revenue, around 1.2m sellers. Reduced CI Build times by 300%, improved code coverage, added stricter linting requirements. Custom metrics and dashboards to improve observability.

Guided our team of engineers into the next generation of development and best practices for software engineering through hands-on teaching, code reviews, pair coding and creation of PoC’s. Implemented better CI/CD practices for all applications and services. Took on the well overdue task of restructuring and cleaning up code in order to pass all of the CI steps I had defined. These steps include unit testing, integration testing, static analysis, code formatting, linting and artifact testing. Managed our infrastructure within AWS using Terraform, Nomad, Consul and Vault.

In my time here at Freedom Financial Network, I have used numerous tech stacks delivering the highest quality services and apps. Some of the different projects I am working on include managing our infrastructure with Terraform, deploying microservices to GCP AppEngine and Kubernetes with Tiller/Helm. To complete these tasks I utilize bitbucket pipelines, cloudbuilder and bamboo. In addition to the projects I am working on I enjoy collaborating with and mentoring team members. I have enjoyed the versatility of the languages used at Freedom Financial that include, but are not limited to, Go, PHP, Node, and Java. I have spent a lot of time integrating with Salesforce, Docusign and Experian automating things like underwriting and contract management.

Holmdel, New Jersey, Us

At Vonage I have worked with a great group of developers to improve customer experience, maintain all company websites and integrate applications for ease of use. Some of my responsibilities include developing code to meet AC, migrating legacy applications to new code base to improve overall maintenance and security. I also worked to integrate our apps with other apps and services to meet and exceed customer expectations. I also ported countless lines of code to improve maintenance and remove deprecated systems to improve performance and decrease customer issues. I have setup automatic testing, building and migration with Jenkins and Linux RPMs with Puppet with 1 click deployments for future efforts with CI. Another project I have worked on is adding the ability to manage routers/devices over SSH with our internal applications, along with generating configurations based on the device and requirements. Moved our databases and application servers in AWS with many environments.

Denver, Co, Us

I am part of a web development team that creates internal and external web and mobile applications. I have developed web applications for reporting revenue, keeping track of systems and customer management as well as tracks and monitors advertising. I do quite a bit of my development in CakePHP, Cake and Google API's. In my position with Voice Media Group I have also done quite a bit of reporting work using products such as Jasper, Crystal, Tableau, SSRS, SSAS, MySQL and SQL server. Other technologies and languages I have used in my time with Voice Media Group are GIT, SVN, Java, C#, Visual Basic and Perl.

In this position I was part of a small team of developers. Using LAMP stack, I was responsible for managing multiple websites, server configurations and internal application development and data mining from a collection of systems increasing sales and revenue.
