Working with a small, startup engineering team as a Full Stack developer utilizing Agile development practices. Stood up, configured, and continue to maintain a resilient GitHub Action CI/CD pipeline for building, end-to-end regression testing, and publishing Docker images into multiple Azure hosted Web Application/Web API deployments. Stood up, configured, and continue to extend and test multiple Next.js 14 (React 18) App Router Web Application/Web API microservices supporting multiple aspects of the business including Single-Sign-On authentication and authorization using a combination of Azure B2C services and a Next-Auth.js 4 implementation.Key Achievements:• Gaining great experience in two different CSS implementation patterns within the Node.js Stack, Tailwind CSS and Material UI. I'm really enjoying the speed of Tailwind CSS and the overall theme control of Material UI.• Utilizing Power Automate to combine "pieces" of the Microsoft Stack (i.e. Office, Azure, Outlook, SharePoint, and much more) in reading structured data into a PDF Generation and Data Extract nightly recurring job.

Independence, Ohio, Us

Worked with a medium sized engineering team to extend, maintain, and break apart a monolithic .NET Web Application that was "tightly" coupled to thousands of stored procedures and enumeration/constant tables across multiple, on-premises SQL Server databases. Developed multiple .NET Web API microservices to assist in removing these extreme dependencies on the SQL Server back-end and attempted to shift the technology department to a more robust and modular cloud-based strategy.Key Achievements:• Helped several engineers understand the pros/cons of a cloud-hosted data back-end that does not contain any business logic dependencies such as stored procedures and constant tables.

Bloomington, Minnesota, Us

Helped a medium size software engineering team maintain and extend a public facing, Next.JS (React-Redux) Health Care Provider Search web application with a focus on multiple state-level Department of Insurance compliance requirements. Also assisted with the sanitization of raw health care provider information by setting up, maintaining, and extending an Apache Spark/Apache Maven project that performs a nightly ETL job within an Azure Databricks Cluster (exported .jar executable with dependencies).Key Achievements:• Gathered great experience with Java, Scala, and Spark in the area of data munging to go from raw, NoSQL data warehouse information to managed, SQL tables that closely fit the application domain.• Started to mingle outside the .NET ecosystem while staying within a Windows OS, but utilizing the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) to achieve cross-platform team development (Node development with other Mac OS teammates).

Austin, Tx, Us

Assisted a large software development team in the movement of a monolithic .NET Framework Web Application to containerized microservices hosted in a Kubernetes based container orchestrator (Rancher and Docker). Daily duties also included the refactoring, maintenance and extension of both the UI/UX front-end (ExtJS to ReactJS) as well as back-end WebApi and legacy SOAP services.Key Achievements:• Obtained great exposure to O/RM tools (Entity Framework Core) and professional software design with focus on distributed applications.• Gained experience in the area of NoSQL database tools and techniques (MongoDb).

Cut my teeth in a career shift to professional software development by assisting a small team of developers in refactoring, maintaining, and extending an existing monolithic .NET Framework Web Forms application with a focus on both front-end HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as well as back-end C# and SQL stored procedures accessed through legacy ADO.NET.Key Achievements:• Learned a ton of helpful tools and processes not only to better perform work output, but to also produce efficiently operating systems.• Started with the team down the path of busting the monolithic application down into cloud-based microservices hosted in the Azure ecosystem.

• Developed commercial building renovation projects with a focus on energy conservation by leading preliminary and advanced engineering studies based on utility usage prediction models• Leveraged expertise with Excel to create a tool that measures historical utility billing invoices to identify energy and peak power reduction possibilities as well as annualized utility cost avoidance• Generated Excel algorithms for multivariate regression analysis dealing with weather-normalization, occupancy dependence, and unit production impacts on utility baselines• Facilitated construction cost analysis of projects with external agencies as well as coordinated the transition from the planning phase to the construction phase• Strengthened company results by assisting sales personnel in presentations, offering a technical perspective when answering client questions• Contributed to professional development by mentoring entry level engineers and teaching colleagues how to utilize new tools that help stream line their project work flow• Spearheaded all planning aspects of a $21 million project, assuring a smooth transition to project construction

Munich, De

• Leveraged advanced understanding of heat transfer dealing with compressed refrigeration systems to improve Siemens’ proprietary Demand Flow Chilled Water Optimization algorithm• Collaborated with existing clients to reduce utility expenditures by leading comprehensive engineering investigations• Served clients in diverse markets such as hospitals, government agencies, and commercial buildings by leveraging technical expertise and great communication skills• Empowered sales personnel in their client meetings by working to build their technical confidence in speaking to energy reduction techniques• Developed and monitored water-cooled, chilled water plant optimization projects associated with large Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems• Conducted computer simulation models to calculate predicted energy savings associated with chilled water plant optimization projects

Rueil Malmaison, Paris, Fr

• Orchestrated the development of comprehensive water and energy consumption engineering studies aimed at identifying opportunities to improve utility usage through construction projects• Lead engineering studies dealing with the utility consumption of commercial building systems, potable water distribution systems, and wastewater processing plant systems• Collaborated with colleagues, building owners, and other stakeholders to analyze historical utility data, then develop construction proposals based on best practices and technical expertise• Generated water and energy usage models via computer simulation tools (Visual DOE, eQUEST, and Excel) to analyze utility savings impacts associated with each proposed aspect of the construction project• Prepared engineering and construction documentation to develop construction project costs with external manufacturing and contracting agencies• Contributed to the professional development of colleagues by mentoring them through the development phase of projects, teaching them basic and advanced analytical skills• Demonstrated strong leadership and work ethic, quickly being promoted from an entry level to a senior engineering position as well as completed a level 1 management training course• Oversaw the development of multiple projects, the highest valued project being $7.5 million

Baton Rouge, La, Us

• Used pipe stress analysis software to analyze imposed piping loads due to weight, thermal expansion, and hurricane force winds on valuable equipment such as pumps, cooling towers, and shell-and-tube heat exchangers to insure these imposed loads did not exceed the manufacturer's allowable stress limits• Calculated the minimum wall thicknesses of existing, unfired pressure vessels owned by clients such as Exxon-Mobil and Dow according to the ASME VIII-I: 2004 Pressure Vessel codes• Obtained field information inside multiple industrial process plants in order to perform both of the tasks mentioned above

Arlington, Virginia, Us

• Operated a mine-clearing vehicle and carried out strategic explosive ordinance disposal operations for one tour of duty in Bagram, Afghanistan (2002-2003)• Served in the Louisiana Army National Guard for a period of eight years (one weekend per month and two weeks per year) aiding the state in multiple emergency relief efforts for hurricane events and constructing better infrastructure in rural parts of the state• Performed routine maintenance on all army qualified equipment (Bulldozer, Grader, Scrapper, Dump Truck, Front-End Loader, Mine-Clearing Vehicle)• This is how I paid for college and earned my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering
