Working at Conversant involved six major projects over my tenure.As Director of Engineering, I architected and implemented an Event-Based Micro-services system spanning our entire ad configuration system. I managed the creative (ad) layer of our ad stack, a system that consisted of nine microservices. The stack utilized Java, Spring Boot, Node, Redis, Kafka, Angular, Oracle, Postgres, Linux, and Windows environments. It is dockerized and scales on our internal cloud, but could easily be deployed to AWS or other cloud providers.I used a modified kanban approach (designed to foster leadership and ownership) with a non-integrated QA but have used and managed integrated QA as well. I've managed local and remote teams in both the US and overseas in Columbia and India.In migrating to the new architecture, I've divided up my products and either created new teams or sent the functionality into other teams to reduce development costs. This included the re-architecture of the entire Video Ad Delivery System for Conversant, a product that generates over $100MM a year in revenue.Previous projects include:- Conversant Tag Manager, A tag management system used to consolidate the deployment of Conversant and other companies' products and services. It still has 100% uptime since 2012 and has been run by Managers that I mentored and trained to fill the position.- A $70MM mobile SDK platform consisting of over 20 projects and supporting iOS and Android.- A personalized video project creating geo-targeted, personalized videos for Fortune 500 companies. (integrated into the new architecture with a 10X increase in performance)- I also launched and managed our Header Bidding Product, HTML5 product, and Creative Validation and Monitoring Service.- I turned around a text-based ad stack called Search123 (a subsidiary brand) and increased the revenue from $13MM to $50MM in 2 years.
