Laying down the reference architecture for the transition to Openshift at Black Knight. This includes everything from CI/CD pipelines to monitoring, tracing, microservice templates and design considerations.

Currently leading a team driving transformational change in claims processing at Florida Blue. I am leading a DevOps transformation in Florida Blue. This includes championing various DevOps concepts, practices, and tools including Openshift, Elasticsearch, Behavior Driven Development, Continuous Integration/Delivery, Monitoring with Prometheus, Database transformation with Liquibase.

Designed applications and oversaw the implementations for various clients,

I lead a team of 15 UI and services developers building a modern single page application with a micro services back end. I realigned the team focus and broke down barriers. We got the project back on track and met milestones. Additionally, I oversaw the AWS cloud infrastructure for the project.

Coordinated implementation of Elasticsearch strategy and implementation.Identified cross application conflicts and designed solution to simplify the overall architecture while improving performance in core service application.Designed and implemented DevOps maintenance and visibility application.

Development:• Developed and implemented roughly 25 applications used for business planning and progress tracking, Web site content management, and customer service utilizing the Struts framework, jQuery, Hibernate, Axis, and J2EE.• Implemented business planning and progress tracking application in Flex with J2EE backend using BlazeDS.• Developed multithreaded batch processing infrastructure for vender data processing.• Built PL/SQL for cross schema data transformation.• Implemented Registration app for contact lens replacement reminders. Flex/BlazeDS/J2EE• Implemented contact lens vertex shift calculator. Flex• Radically changes marketing strategy leading to a savings of over 27 million dollars.• Refactored business’ primary app to eliminate dependency on legacy code and switched to using web service for core business behavior. This resulted in using a common library across all apps, reducing development time.• Designed and built app for online rebates and produced PDFs in real-time(struts).• Designed and built application for tracking product usage, expiration, and retesting requirements. At the appointed time reminders were sent via email, SMS, and with Yahoo Widget.Enterprise Infrastructure:• Pulled primary business code out into a common component and wrapped in a web service with Axis.• Transformed the businesses core architecture to facilitate common code reuse and separation of similar business logic into components oriented architecture.

• Added and extended functionality for Web Services based mortgage origination system built with J2EE, Oracle, Hibernate, Axis, XSLT, and JMS.• Mentored team members with infrastructure design and implementation of Hibernate related issues• Developed customer specific load application format translation components with XSL

Web Development• Maintained Struts e-commerce application built with J2EE, Oracle, EJB, and Hibernate.• Added SOX data tracking for order processing and online review.• Update web app authentication to use encryption. Enterprise Infrastructure• Designed and implemented flexible framework to simplify implementing persistence with DAO pattern and Hibernate. • Designed and implemented Survey framework using Struts and Hibernate to replace multiple Web apps that required routine maintenance. The resulting app could be maintained by business analysis. Removing almost constant work for 2 to 3 developers.

Web Development• Designed and implemented enhancements to a web site content management system using OOAD principals to produce a maintainable/scalable product. The front end is Struts, JSP2.0/Servlet2.4, JSTL, custom build tag libs. Due to the appropriate separation of concerns the backend is modular and portable. So any presentation layer could be added with minimal effort.• Developed up-sell and push product infrastructure(struts).• Incorporated postal code and address verification web service (SOAP) to reduce customer address correction charges from shipping carriers.
