As a Senior Product Software Engineer at Dwolla, my mission is to cater to customer needs through an API-first approach. I specialize in crafting containerized microservices in Scala, facilitating communication through cutting-edge technologies such as Thrift, Finagle, and HTTPS requests.Key Achievements:- Optimized Application Review Process: Led a transformative initiative to streamline Dwolla's Application Review process. By modernizing existing Scala microservices for efficient client response collection, we achieved a remarkable 60% reduction in Customer Success interactions with clients. This resulted in an impressive 30% increase in lead conversions.- Enhanced Account Security: Pioneered the implementation of the Email One-Time Password (OTP) account authorization method, extending its coverage to 100% of new Dwolla accounts and 50% of existing ones. This initiative fortified account security and user authentication.- Performance Enhancement: Employed ElasticSearch to replace a dated SQL-based full table scan solution, effectively halving client dashboard search times. The result was a significantly improved user experience.- Simplified User Onboarding: Introduced Knowledge-Based Authentication to the white-label API end user on-boarding process, reducing manual verification rates by a substantial 60%. This streamlined the user experience and improved operational efficiency.- PCI-Compliant Integration: Designed and developed a robust method to seamlessly integrate Dwolla's internal payment structure with that of a third-party payment facilitator while adhering to PCI compliance standards. This achievement ensured a secure and compliant payment structure for all transactions.

"Automation is Key. Automation is King"As an Infrastructure and Reliability Engineer I am part of the team that is tasked with ensuring that Workiva is able to deliver a seamless experience to our customers at all stages of software; from developers to end users. My specific team at Workiva is tasked with two incredibly important tasks; automating our infrastructure review process, and doing the foot work required to transition our organization at large to a model more reflective of Site Reliability Engineering standards.

As a Rapid Response Engineer I was tasked with on-the-fly root cause failure analysis and repair of systems critical to customer success 24/7. I worked with Customer Support Engineers to identify any problems a customer was having at any time of the day and worked with them until we were able to deliver a lasting solution to the customer. When I wasn't busy doing RCA on systems I was working on tooling to allow Customer Support Engineers to self service and self correct any issues customers may face.

I was responsible for making sure that the technologies used in lab worked flawlessly and quickly. I was additionally responsible for helping graduate students to grade and run labs and test for freshmen experience engineering classes.

JSF/Primefaces web development.

At Intermec Technologies I took part customer solution testing. This involved testing software and hardware of point-of-sale systems both independently and together as a single product.
