Expanded scope of role to encompass the entire engineering department

Led a team of engineers through constant iteration of API product offerings and feature development across legacy, modern, and client-specific tech stacks - all hectic in a startup environment!Built a highly collaborative and supportive environment for engineers to be their best selves, play into their strengths, and learn through shortcomings for cumulative successInteracted cross-functionally to determine best path forward with development and maximizing capacities while providing growth opportunity and ownership to other engineersDirectly interfaced with clients to facilitate smooth integrations between systems and address any implementation-specific needs for themMigrated VCS provider and integrated more refined CI/CD processes for code/test quality and speedier deploymentsDirected the introduction of "types" to the existing codebases for improved developer experiencePerformed system architecture changes to introduce caches, resize cloud resources, audit and remove lingering artifacts, and enforce data retention policies to work towards SOC2 complianceWorked alongside Product to design and release a completely new application, utilizing completely new infrastructure environments and codebaseDocumented and executed various optimization efforts to better ensure client SLA demands are met while increasing code durability in the process

Worked alongside Capital One engineers to aid in a modernization effortHeld discussions for code optimization opportunities and to gauge what pain points the clients hadReviewed load balancing scripts and marked areas where threading would benefit them, as well providing general optimization and design pattern suggestionsTook some peeks at a pyspark repo to determine and remove major performance bottlenecks

Filled the roles of manual tester and frontend developer for a large-scale platform modernization effortWorked directly with client PMs to define work to be done, provide insights on feature scope and testing, help catalyze processes, and support for people-opsPerformed a massive refactor of React Context implementation, reducing component re-rendering from several hundred times to just fourHeld sessions to teach engineers less familiar with React.js how to navigate it and ensure future development successWas invovled in the official "code handoff" between consultants and clients

Worked on Project Manifold, a system to dynamically generate standardized test questions (including graphics!) for mathematics based on user defined parameters.ReactJS + Redux frontend with Python microservice and API using Serverless Framework in an AWS cloud environment (DynamoDB, S3, Cognito, Lambda, CodePipeline.)Creation of IAM roles and Bitbucket WebHooks to properly create CodePipeline deployments for all development environments.Helped with integration of dynamic graphic generation and programmatically exporting a zip archive of graphic SVGs.Created API endpoint for a N-1 recursive aggregation of sibling items

Part of the Anomaly Detection and Data Analytics team.Work alongside Data Scientists to properly automate the Machine Learning model flow and integrate it into the Comcast infrastructure. Aided in automation of AWS services and proper hosting of API services created through the Machine Learning pipeline.

Create and integrate CI/CD pipelines and frameworks (Jenkins, SonarQube, etc.) to leverage existing codebase and properly facilitate full automation testing. Develop scripts (Bash, Python) to automate tasks and support workflow by limiting framework setup time. Create Java code to interface PHP used for the backend.

Develop Ruby scripts to automate API and UI tests by leveraging the Cucumber framework, Selenium, and Watir. Verify Jenkins runs are passing per each component to ensure proper software functions. Perform regular code reviews for pull requests to the repository using Git/GitHub.Addressed code anti-patterns and improved underperforming code execution
