My team builds the Engineering Systems that validate and release the Azure SDK. These systems automate an enormous validation matrix across a variety of languages and platforms. I build tools to keep product engineers focused on features so they can ship with confidence.Engineering Systems work is done in support of 6 major languages: Embedded C, C++, C#/.NET, Java, JavaScript, and Python using a variety of tools, frameworks, and cloud services including Azure DevOps Pipelines, ARM templates, Az PowerShell modules, CMake, Doxygen, vcpkg, Azure Active Directory, the list goes on. ---- Previously I led a project to automate synthetic front end test scenarios of the Azure Portal and track performance over time. Creating reliable synthetic frontend performance tests is difficult because of the number of external factors that can influence software performance. I worked with teams across Microsoft to gather best practices and create a scalable performance testing lab in the Azure cloud. Performance automation work happened in Azure VMs and included working directly with the Azure Portal team, building reports with PowerBI, generating custom Windows images, and a test harness written in C#.

Our group is responsible for building cutting-edge marketing automation technologies for the pharmaceutical industry. We help brands have productive conversations with healthcare providers (B2B) and consumers (B2C). Worked with a data science team to build a system to curate and deliver insights to customers' dashboards in a deep Salesforce Marketing Cloud integration.Led a team that split unreliable monolith processes into cost-effective, scalable workflows running on AWS SWF and Lambda. Our new system sends over 1.1 million emails per week with faster turnaround and less customer downtime.We primarily build software with C# and .NET Core running on Linux Docker Containers, with liberal use of AWS services like Simple Workflow Service (SWF), AWS Lambda, AWS DynamoDB, AWS Simple Storage Service (S3).

Headed rapid, iterative product development of an iOS email app with AI augmentation. Later transitioned the app to a shared calendar/inbox management tool. We also built interesting tools like Mailmentor.ioApplication backend built in Ruby (with some aspects of the application using Rails), AI components built in Python (using NLTK), phone application built with JavaScript using Ember.js and Phonegap. Used MySQL, Redis, and AWS S3 as backend data stores.

I built the software platform that shipped 7 million (and counting) handwritten words to all corners of the globe. MailLift was featured on CBS, Forbes, and Medium. We’re also a 500 Startups company. MailLift is a way to increase the value of every lead or customer by building emotional connections. Think of MailLift as a lego: plug it into your platform to boost sales. We integrate with Salesforce, HubSpot, Marketo, and other marketing automation tools to add high touch back into the sales process. Our most interesting piece of software, Waldo, manages the end to end process of ordering, producing, remote quality assurance verification, and shipping every single letter. Ask me technical questions.

Designed and built a next-generation phone system using the Twilio platform. Led transition from legacy phone system to new Twilio-based phone system. * Improved pick up rates (+30% in some scenarios) * Reporting makes it easy for management to track progress and make incremental changes that improve the sales cycle * Same features (IVR, hold, mute, conference, transfer) as many enterprise VoIP systems* Tight integration with CRM system saves agents' time and reduces errors
