• Accomplishments:
• Wrote from the ground up two web applications using React on the front end and Node for building and testing JavaScript. Both apps used a web component architecture and could be hosted on any site similar to how a blog.
• Created a shared library of React components written in ES6 and hosted on an internal NPM instance (Nexus Repository Manager).
• Automated testing, builds, and deployments for the team's software assets to reduce their support footprint.
• Migrated around a dozen code repositories from Subversion to Git and moved CI builds from Jenkins to Atlassian's Bamboo CI server.
• Improved the performance of high-availability identity services by removing bottlenecks due to blocking I/O. This was accomplished using.NET's Task constructs and the async/await keywords in C#.
