At Aspenware my focus has been to overhaul a high volume global eCommerce system deployed to Azure. I focus on the backend (C#/.NET 7 and MS SQL) but am a regular contributor to the frontend code written with Vue.js. I have been working on modernizing coding practices, fashioning it to be testable, and refactoring it for scalability. The code is complex and has been touched by many other developers so implementing consistency and best practices is essential to making it maintainable going… Show more At Aspenware my focus has been to overhaul a high volume global eCommerce system deployed to Azure. I focus on the backend (C#/.NET 7 and MS SQL) but am a regular contributor to the frontend code written with Vue.js. I have been working on modernizing coding practices, fashioning it to be testable, and refactoring it for scalability. The code is complex and has been touched by many other developers so implementing consistency and best practices is essential to making it maintainable going forward.I use Azure tools to track down runtime bugs and inspect production systems for efficiency and correctness. I work on an Agile team and contribute to the normal weekly ceremonies in order to keep the team well oiled and management informed of our progress. Code reviews are routine and an important way to provide feedback in order to help keep my peers aligned to best practices and adhering to the established architecture and coding standards.

Built cloud-first systems using Azure products, such as Functions, Cosmos DB, App Services, API Management, Azure Service Bus, and Azure DevOps for deployment. Some of my projects included designing and building event-driven ESB integrations, workflow automations, and REST APIs. I also created and maintained testing and performance/failure monitoring infrastructure for these systems.

At Neturf, I spent my days doing typical full-stack web development using the LAMP stack, and developing with HTML5, CSS3, PHP, SQL, and JavaScript. They maintained their own custom PHP/MySQL CMS, so I needed to fix bugs and customize it for certain customers. Sometimes a customer would need their data migrated to a different system, so I spent some time writing SQL queries to migrate the data.I also did a fair amount of the IT/DevOps work, as I needed to configure the hosting… Show more At Neturf, I spent my days doing typical full-stack web development using the LAMP stack, and developing with HTML5, CSS3, PHP, SQL, and JavaScript.

This position is difficult to quantify since I did so many things! Mostly I spent my time helping with the administration of the business, IT, and engineering.One of my main focuses was ensuring that our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software met our needs as a manufacturing and engineering firm.

Mostly I spent my time helping with the administration of the business, IT, and engineering.One of my main focuses was ensuring that our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software met our needs as a manufacturing and engineering firm. To this end, I developed desktop applications in C#/.NET and VBA, and also created custom management reports to assist with business decisions. Managing the ERP system also meant handling the related IT tasks, such as deploying and updating the software and defining user roles. As is common, we needed to integrate the software's data with other systems, so I created integration systems using C# and VBA.As a side note, but worth mentioning, I also developed software for industrial control systems, and learned a good amount about both low-level networking protocols and user interfaces.Other than the software development that I did for this company, I spent a lot of time working on documentation and analysis for our engineering team. This experience didn't help me gain software development skills, but it did help to hone my analysis, communication, and critical thinking skills. Show less

At PNCA, I was an accounting assistant, but found myself using my software development skills to create spreadsheet automations with VBA and spending a bit of time developing a purchase order system with Ruby on Rails. Mostly, I spent my time doing accounting, and so learned many valuable business concepts that I have put into use in my software engineering career. I was in charge of full cycle accounts payable, cash-flow management, report preparation, and payroll data entry/administration.

I worked for Northwest Rail at two points. For this duration, I mainly focused on accounting and software support, although I spent a good deal of time improving our business data. This was done through replacing our simple accounting system with a full-featured ERP system, and also helping to establish good procedures for inventory and accounting. The new system greatly improved our data and provided good reporting capabilities, and so management saw a marked improvement in their ability to… Show more I worked for Northwest Rail at two points.
