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 post may include a GitHub Gist with a script element.• 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#.• Evaluated moving my team's Visualforce assets to the Salesforce Lightning framework. While we ultimately decided to wait, I was able to build out a number of Lightning components including an address finder built on top of Google Maps.Articles and Talks:• "SpecFlow Tags Done Right" - BDD Addict Newsletter - February 2016• "SpecFlow Best Practices" - Chicago Code Camp - April 2016About Berkley Technology Services:Berkley Technology Service (BTS) is the IT Solutions provider for W.R.
