Responsible for implementing product features on a large platform that merges social networking with business-to-business (B2B) invoicing and electronic payments. Coordinate with cross-functional teams to estimate and deliver projects on time without a formal project management team. Leverage continuous integration (CI) via git-hooks, TeamCity and custom build scripts to push product updates semi-weekly with zero downtime through close collaboration of the DevOps and development teams.Write code in C# utilizing a variety of technologies and design patterns. At a high-level the platform is loosely coupled through extensive use of the Mediator pattern implemented as a request/response - including in-process async requests and out-of-process requests delivered to NServiceBus on MSMQ queues. Dapper is primarily used in new code for SQL access while a custom repository wrapping EF is used for generic data access. CouchBase is heavily used for the storage of large documents.We currently utlize AWS for IaaS, though we're working to migrate into the PaaS offerings from AWS. Currently leveraging S3, DynamoDB and Lambda functions in limited ways and actively working to expand this footprint.

I was responsible for leading the technical direction of software development projects individually and across the organization. Ensured our software development architecture was properly implemented and well documented so teams of developers could adopt the architecture and work successfully within it. Implemented source control management and build management utilizing Git with GitFlow and the TFS Build process via Visual Studio Online for these tasks, working towards a continuous improvement (CI) process. Developed a service-based backend implemented via a request/response pattern to promote loose coupling, allowing the front-end to be completely agnostic from the backend implementation. Utilized C# and exposed backend via web services or direct consumption of the libraries. Unit tests (xUnit.net) provided 100% coverage of backend. Utilized Dapper and SQL Server data access. Worked on standardizing web development within the organization through the adoption of Angular 2 (now Angular 4) to provide a predictable and repeatable architecture.

I was responsible for managing a team of software developers, managing software projects and managing clients. My initial responsibilities included acting as team lead in certain projects, though this became less and less a responsibility as I became responsible for managing more project and clients. I was responsible for seeking and reading request for proposal (RFP) documents and developing a proposal and cost estimate to win the work. I was responsible for presenting to clients in support of proposals, as necessary, and I was responsible for managing clients once we had been awarded work. During this time, the majority of my clients were located outside my state and I was responsible for traveling to the clients' offices regularly.I expanded my project management skills during the time, utilizing Microsoft Project and Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) to monitor project status. This enabled me to provide timely updates to client and identify potential issues with schedule before they could have a serious impact.I led best practices across the functional areas of the software development discipline including project management, requirements elicitation and documentation, software development, testing, product delivery and maintenance. I led standards development for coding and documentation. I was part of a team implementing the CMMI framework for software development within our organization.

Responsible for the successful implementation of custom software products to meet a variety of clients' needs. After spending 7 years in a single client's office, I was now working in my company's offices for multiple clients simultaneously. This transition also introduced me to a larger support team with business analysts to develop requirements specifications, project managers responsible for the overall project and dedicated test staff responsible for ensuring the product was built to specification. I was primarily responsible for writing software to meet a requirement specification. During this time, I grew my JavaScript skills significantly and started working with GIS data. The bulk of projects were written in C# and ASP.Net against a SQL Server backend. Increasingly, the front-end was built entirely in JavaScript. During this time I also worked heavily with the Silverlight platform which introduced me to the MVVM architecture and two-way binding of controls. I was frequently the team lead on projects during this time.

Working on site in client's office, I continued to grow my software development skills. I began tackling larger-scale projects where I was coordinating with development staff across multiple functional areas within the clients' organization to integrate systems. During this time I also managed projects completed by off-site consultants for my client.Work was primarily carried out via C#, ASP.NET and SQL. During this time, I expanded on using the emerging AJAX standards, moving away from the typical XMLHttpRequest. I was also working with Anthem.NET and provided minor bug fixes and testing support as I adopted this framework at the time.

Worked on site in client's office developing applications to fit a variety of specific business needs. Maintained existing applications in place before I was hired. Typical applications were delivered utilizing Classic ASP initially, quickly transitioned to delivering ASP.Net applications. Desktop and console applications were utilized as needed, to a lesser degree. I worked directly with the client to determine requirements. I was responsible for managing my own time, providing status reports and delivering the applications. Working directly in the client's office and so closely with client provided me the base client relationship skills that have helped me throughout my career.
