January 2024 - Present -- Currently leading a team on an application overhaul to migrate our widely used customer support tool to Next.js. This will also include the introduction of CD (Continuous Delivery) practices so that we don't have long release cycles between feature launches. This will also reduce the burden on our QA team from having to manually perform regression testing during each release cycle.September 2023 - December 2023 -- Worked with the newly formed Data and Architecture team to create a new Tier 3 Support tool for Engineers to have better auditing around Production changes to Billing and Customer Information within Disney Streaming Services. This was a Next.js app that used Material UI as a Component Library, Vitest for unit testing and component testing, and Playwright as an E2E testing tool. I also introduced CD (Continuous Delivery) pipelines for this tool so that developers could confidently contribute to it without fear of introducing breaking changes to higher environments. March 2022 - September 2023-- Worked in the Customer Support and Insights (CSI) department with the Subscriptions team to help aggregate backend services for both Disney Streaming and Hulu in order to best support customers and manage their data through one internal tools platform.I have led an overhaul of our frontend application to a monorepo design using pnpm, TurboRepo, and Vite as our primary build tool for our React applications. As part of this process, I have broken out our components library into its own reusable package that is shared across multiple deployable React applications. I also oversaw a transition of our testing tools from Jest to Vitest and introduced Playwright as a UI/E2E testing tool for our applications.Working with Scala, http4s, Play, Python, Node JS, pnpm, yarn, TurboRepo, Vite, Vitest, Jest, Playwright, React, SWR, Spinnaker, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Docker, NGINX, AWS, ElasticSearch.

September 2021 - Current -- Aligned project planning meetings with vision for product delivery. Oversaw an API and Application overhaul and re-write to use Next JS and TypeScript,implemented Test-Driven Development (TDD) with Jest, End to End (E2E) testing with Cypress, and utilized Yarn Workspaces to build a monorepo design for our frontend. Co-wrote the frontend re-design with the founder/CEO and engineering team. Worked with the CEO to manage business/investorrelations with customers on our Supplier and Developer business streams. Working with partners at GCI, Cable Labs, and the T-Mobile 5G Open Innovation Lab.

March - September 2021 -- Worked on the One Pass product to bring subscription-basedincentives programs to Rally users and to Renew Active (UNH Medicare) customers. Subscriptioncould entitle users to access to the Optum Gym Network, to food delivery with their localprovider, to coaching with Rally Coaching, and more. Worked on many ADRs with senior engineering leadership. Implemented reactive microservices product with Kafka as a message buffer and Kafka Streams and KTables as a DB store. Conducted researchon and implemented vendor interfaces with Kong API Gateway and Recurly recurring payments platform. Created integration tests to simulate the user registration and successful subscriptionto One Pass and have data flow between all involved microservices to ensure quality for production deployment.January - March 2021-- Migrating our microservices from Mesos/Marathon deployment management to Kubernetes (k8s). Designing and implementing CI/CD infrastructure to deploy microservices more rapidly and confidently. Retooling existing microservices to be moreconfigurable in order to serve new company initiatives and rewards/incentives structures for our customersJune - December 2020--  Designed and implemented an administrative tool for creating and managing fitness classes and events and promoting them to our users. Expanded upon our end-to-end testing strategy to include API integration testing and using WebDriver IO to verify behavior in our admin tool. January - May 2020-- Became a team-lead at Rally Health where our team became the service owners of a Rewards Activity configuration service. We are responsible for ensuring that, as users generate fitness data on their personal devices (FitBit, Apple Health, etc.), we can seamlessly synchronize their device data within the Rally platform and reward users for pursuing their health goals offline as a means to incentivize users to come back to the platform to discover other ways to earn rewards.

October 2019 - February 2020: Worked on several initiatives. Extending a ledger service to be more resilient to changes issued third party services. Designing and testing new cultural strategies for identifying, prioritizing, and delivering new software features. Helping to migrate an Angular 1 front end repo to React. Creating re-usable libraries and components for end-to-end testing using WebDriver IO. Refactoring one of our microservices to be cleaner, more resilient, and easier to maintain and extend. Creating several administrative tools so that customer support can be empowered to resolve customer issues without the need for intervention from engineering staff.Outside of my engineering tasks, I am also working with several Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), and have even started my own that is focused on Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural equity within the workplace. I am very excited by and proud of the people I work with on these internal initiatives, and they inspire me to be better every day.January - September 2019: Designed and implemented a progression-recommendation system to further incentivize users to push themselves in their health goals with personalized recommendations for level of difficulty based on a user's performance history. If a user is exceeding their current health goals, we propose increasing their level of difficulty with the reward of additional RallyCoins for use on the Rally Rewards platform. If they are not meeting their health goals, we suggest goals that are more attainable. September-December 2018: Worked on a greenfield project to coalesce user device data and to match that data against various Rally Incentives programs to reward users with Rally Coins which they can use to purchase a plethora of Rewards on the Rally platform (including gift cards and coupons at many popular retailers). Completed MVP of product in 4 months time using Scala, Play framework, PostgreSQL, Docker, and AWS.
