Leading a team of developers building apps that leverage both our advanced data platform and custom AI capabilities. Proficient in working with multiple data stores, backend microservices, frontend technologies, LLM integration and automation pipelines. Responsibilities include: design, architecture, development, mentorship, productivity (Scrum) and ensuring the team has fun and enjoys the areas of work they are in.

Working as lead developer on our Workforce Intelligence app. Using a combination of ReactJS, GraphQL and multiple backend microservices and data sources, we deliver a combination of static visualizations, analytics and dozens of customizable insights (such as attrition patterns and what skill sets and types of talent they're losing and to where) to help companies with workforce planning, understanding of their organizations in fine detail compared to competitors and industries as well as help with hiring for highly specialized roles. We also work on Chrome Extensions for enhancing the experience of our existing Talent Intelligence user (developed in React).

During this time, I was the Scrum Master and process coach for our engineering organization (with around 50 members). I studied under the expert teachings of Jeff Sutherland (co-creator of Scrum), Pat Elwer (Intel Fellow and Corporate Scrum Expert) and Salman Ahmad (my Director and agile coach). I held the role of Scrum Master for 4 teams and coached 2 others. Worked with Execution-Team Members, Product Owners, Enterprise Architects, Principle Engineers, Directors and our group Vice President to coordinate and ensure a streamlined process/methodology for all teams. In the short time I held this role, there was measurable improvement in several of the teams' individual execution (including two teams that doubled their velocity and quarterly story output). There was also a significant "happiness metric" improvement across all teams and better coordination between teams with respect to organizational backlog. Towards the end of this role I was scheduling and organizing quarterly release planning, teaching classes on agile process, lean software development and model-based problem solving (co-taught with Rahima Mohammed, Senior Principle Engineer) as well as mentoring individuals in the areas of influence expansion, innovation and agile principles.

I'm currently the Technical Lead and Interim Scrum Master for a company-wide Security Development Lifecycle Web Application. I work with stakeholders and product owners on converting requirements and user stories to technical design and implementation. I focus on maximizing team efficiency, engagement and fun while delivering great results to our customers. I also continue to work on .NET Core and Angular Development to keep my skills sharp. My strengths on this team have been in the area of automation and scalable infrastructure design.

Currently working on complex web applications built using AngularJS, Node.js, MongoDB and other modern technologies. With a small team we recently delivered a full-featured, drag-and-drop network design canvas complete with back-end service integration. In the last year, I've also worked as part of a 5-person development team that took a web application that could handle 2K concurrent users and re-architected it to handle 100K concurrent users using a very similar resource footprint. This was a 3-month proof-of-concept where most of the work took place within a single month using Scala, Redis, and intelligent use of hosting resources. Going forward I will be working in the Intel.com realm of web applications to improve B2B user experience.
