75% Developer, 25% QE/UX/Ops, for 6 months I was the interim Product OwnerWorked with 5 people as the lead engineer to develop a web app used to run and collect networking and infrastructure level tests to make sure that our infrastructure is built correctly, continues to run correctly, and is easy to identify the root cause of issues when they come up. I specifically gathered the requirements, worked with the customers on the prototype, drafted the system architecture, and coded the Web stack using Java, Spring, Jetty, Java Caching Service, Web Sockets, Angular, Polymer, Bootstrap, and jQuery.Built dashboards to display metrics showing the current state of our infrastructure and offering trends (predictive analytics) and recommendations (prescriptive analytics) based on 3, 6, 9, 12-month projections. Used by the infrastructure planning team to understand if and when the company will run out of capacity, what options are available, and how likely they are to solve the problem. It is currently providing information updated multiple times a day which used to take analysts 2 - 3 weeks to compile.Created HTML5 / Spring MVC web-based tools and Spring Batch based tools for configuring server infrastructure to reduce the number of manual tasks that the TechOps teams need to do. There is a heavy focus on security, automating tasks, and providing smart defaults based on environmental and historical data. We are projecting a 50% reduction in human entered errors, a 50% reduction in time to execute the workflows, and less time to train new employees who are using the systems.As the product owner, I work with the infrastructure and feature teams to figure out when and where they are spending time doing manual tasks because of infrastructure changes or inefficiencies. Based on the findings I work with the teams to create stories/requirements for my team to build new tools/tests to automate and remove the processes that are slowing people down from completing their jobs.

The lead UI performance engineer working on making sure that the Salesforce web application, once it leaves our servers, is running as fast as possible. I spend part of my time trying to make top notch UI performance a first class citizen and a requirement for delivering any features. Because of my ability to understand the browser and how it interacts with the servers, I am brought in to solve issues that general developers normally cannot find solutions to. I worked to prove that network latency is a big problem for our multi-national customers and worked to test the integration of CDNs as a way to solve this. I wrote and maintained the framework used in production for collecting the real user metrics that were needed to prove out the CDN.I look at the time for pages to load, becomes visible, browser CPU usage, memory consumption, size of resources, 3rd party components, single points of failure and many other parameters for improvement. Focussed on creating automated tooling to enable teams to find and fix their own performance issues without the need for dedicated performance environments. In house I developed a browser based plugin that uses heuristics to identify issues specific to how Salesforce builds it's web pages that developers can use as they are build the new features. Built a framework for automatically minimizing the size of images and other downloadable resources that is integrated into the code checkin process that developers use. Because of the success of the framework and the reduction in performance bugs generated, I was peer nominated for an departmental award. * Scrum master for the team.

Worked on a new (as of 2009) web based application for the claims department which replaced the functionality of many different applications used at the company. One of my primary tasks has been translating use cases into a HTML/JavaScript based UI prototype for the application. The prototype involves creating over 75 screens, refining the screens/requirements with all stakeholders, and addressing potential performance/usability problems.As part of my job I am also writing the actual J2EE JAVA (on IBM WebSphere Application Server) and UI code. On the JAVA side, I am working with the code for all of the layers, which includes the controllers, the services (for business logic/rules), database access to call stored procedures, the access methods for going against the cache, writing servlet filters, server listeners (servlet context, session, etc.). On the UI side I help design the look and feel and screen flows as well as coded parts of the JSP, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS for some of the screens. I also wrote parts of the generic JavaScript, CSS and Custom JSP tags that are used across the front-end to maintain the consistence and simplify the development.My other tasks include, working with the Web Eng team to set up the infrastructure needed for the application, setting up production support, approve new 3rd party tools to help manage the application, and answer questions from offshore vendors about the technology and business logic in the application.From 2008 - 2009 I was the fire warden for my section of the building.
