• Building React frontends with ag-grid and Redux for bank staff to manage complex data workflows of business- and regulatory-critical information.• Architecting Node.js backends leveraging GraphQL, Redis and Apache Kafka.• Containerizing CI/CD with Red Hat Open Shift, Gradle and Jenkins.• Implementing micro-frontend architecture to refactor legacy, monolithic code bases into modular services capable of continuous integration across multiple scrum teams working in varying frameworks.

• Built with React to create a graphical frontend for Apache Kafka prototyping, testing and deployment. xkite lets developers spin up containerized Kafka clusters in minutes, run custom tests, and export their setup for deployment.• Leveraged Next.js 13 to optimize page loading with server-side rendering and automatic code splitting. Used file-based page and API routing and built-in TypeScript support to speed up development and boost maintainability.• Architected a Spring Boot microservice leveraging Java Management Extensions (JME) to expose an API for TypeScript components to access robust and scalable data about Kafka performance.• Incorporated Redux into the xkite-core library for state management, establishing a unified codebase capable of effectively managing multiple asynchronous user requests and preventing any mutations within it.• Used Docker to containerize the Kafka stack, minimizing user dependencies and streamlining cloud deployment.• Integrated PostgreSQL and SQL databases to create streams of data for testing Kafka clusters.• Incorporated Prometheus and Grafana for real-time monitoring and visualization of key Kafka health metrics.• Used TypeScript to catch critical errors at build-time instead of run-time.• Leveraged Jira to implement Agile methodologies and Scrum, coordinating a team of engineers to identify a gap in open-source software and develop solutions.

• Built and maintained websites for local governments, including N.C.’s largest county serving 1.1+ million residents.• Led cross-functional teams of engineers to develop user-focused services and community outreach campaigns• Administered 60+ social media accounts, managing teams, automating posts and analyzing performance.• Built and maintained a networked tracking system for a 14-department performance management program.
