I had several responsibilities as a member of the backend engineering team. My main responsibility was the implementation and testing of new features for the backend of the web application but I also worked on the realtime data ingestion pipeline that was the source for the vast majority of the data in the system. - Developed and tested several key features for the data pipeline.- Created the first tests for the backend search API.- Advised the backend engineering team's transition into a more rigid agile and release process.

I worked alongside the engineers at Tallac Networks on their cloud-managed networking solution. I was my responsibility to develop, support and help architect a backend solution that collected streams of data, automated operations for the devices to execute, and manipulated data to be used by the front end using the application's JSON REST API.- Sole developer of the backend application and REST API for wireless management solution.- Interoperated with a cross-country team, that consisted of architects, front end, QA and embedded engineers.- Performed MongoDB migrations, index optimizations, and scaling through sharding.- Resolved both errors and performance issues that improved responsiveness at application and database layers.- Scaled system to handle over a thousand access points constantly communicating with the backend.- Assisted with DevOps duties to maintain good overall system health.
