• Lead architect of a multi-tenant SaaS platform for Inventory, Manufacturing, and Cultivation management serving the cannabis industry and integrated with various third-party platforms (Quickbooks, state regulatory compliance system, etc).• Utilized Azure Cloud Services including function apps, service bus, AD B2C, blob storage to build a completely new platform and launch MVP within 1 year.• Within 3 years of launch the platform has been used by customers in real world environments nationwide to process nearly 40K sales orders valued at 130 million dollars, and facilitate completion of over 4.5K manufacturing batches.• Became adept at using noSQL databases after primarily working in SQL for years prior, including schema design, index considerations, and query optimizations using both Linq2Mongo and native Mongo queries.• Enforced tenant boundaries using a custom built db client through which all connections are managed and queries in the api are parsed, allowing team members to write custom queries without worrying about tenant boundaries.• Implemented authorization management of platform, utilizing custom team permissions configurable by customer. Azure active directory is used to facilitate authentication using either application level, google , or apple auth.• Built front end using Angular/Typescript, with a focus on dynamic desktop/mobile views using various techniques such as bootstrap, angular directives, and media queries . This allowed for a single code base that can be accessed from both desktop and web. Additionally this code base is compiled to a native android and iOS app using Cordova, allowing for custom plugins to take advantage of device hardware, such as camera/barcode scanner.
