Led the initiative to fully support Microsoft Teams as a video client on the MeetingHQ allowing us to market the product to a much wider customer base.Replaced generic MeetingHQ error pages with dynamic QR codes that linked to our support page for that specific error resulting in a massive decrease in customer service requests.Implemented security solutions for a list of vulnerabilities identified by a 3rd party organization.Collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop and launch new features, contributing to an increase in user engagement.Conducted thorough code reviews and debugging to ensure high-quality code and seamless integration of software components.Led the migration of legacy systems to cloud-based platforms, reducing maintenance costs by 30% and improving system reliability.

SportGait is a medical technology startup that provides a comprehensive platform for concussion testing, management, recovery, and education.My biggest accomplishment so far has been leading the migration of all of our hosting infrastructure from VMs to Kubernetes as part of an effort to pass a SOC 2 Type II security audit. I began the project without any prior DevOps experience however I was able to quickly teach myself to use Azure, Docker, Helm and Kubernetes to accomplish our goal and pass the security audit. In addition, I wrote a deployment CLI in Bash to automate deployment for team members.My most recent accomplishment was leading the development of our ResearchGait mobile app. Older versions of our concussion test used wearable sensors to collect biomarkers during a walking test. With this new app I was able to collect the necessary data without the extra wearable sensors by taking advantage of the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors in the user's smartphone. I built the app from scratch in React Native. I was able to optimize the app's performance so it could handle reading each sensor an average of every 4ms without freezing or lagging. Since a 20s walking test taking readings from two sensors every 4ms results in tens of thousands of data points I had to build an API pipeline that was able to handle massive loads of data.My first project was to rewrite the entire backend using a promise based library called pg-promise. This resulted in faster, more readable routes with half the number of lines of code. I also added validation and sanitization middleware to all applicable routes.DAILY RESPONSIBILITIES:Collaborating with CTO to plan projects, features, and tech stack decisions.Maintain DevOps infrastructure.Fix bugs and add features to frontend apps that use a variety of JavaScript frameworks (AngularJS, Angular2, Vue, React, and React Native).Building out new Node.js servers, routes and SQL queries to support new apps and features.
