Principal Software Engineer under contract at NBCUniversal Development Center of Excellence (CoE).

Lead Engineer of the Consumer Lending Innovation Center (CLiC) at PwC -- a team of technology, design, and market subject matter experts helping to build FinTech software solutions. Was primarily focused on employing agile strategies to build products using the MVP methodology. Concentrated on software solutions involving data ingestion, aggregation and the performing of data analytics using AI methods such as machine learning and constraint processing. Was also focused on Blockchain technologies and their application in the finance space. Involved in architecting, designing and implementing cross-cloud-based software architectures using Google Cloud (GCP), Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure platforms. Used languages such as Java/SpringBoot, JavaScript/Node.js/TypeScript, and Python for service layers and React/ReactNative for client interfaces.Oversaw a team of designers and engineers, work with analysts, as well as performed client facing consulting on software process, design, and often, modernization efforts. Consulted with colleagues within the firm to help their teams build a technical strategy for a client project or develop RFP proposals.

As part of a cross-squad agile, Scrum-based team of engineers and designers, worked to deliver the new face of Surfline, which specializes in providing marine surf forecasting for both web and mobile. Duties included included Fullstack development using JavaScript/Node.js: -Developed REST-based Microservices that are the foundation for both the customer and public facing parts of the site - Developed various front-end facing components of the public website and private CMS using React/Redux - Developed a new content management system (CMS) for meteorologists to input forecast data, and helping to architect new components of the backend system to work with legacy components.Worked extensively with various tooling such as Docker, Elastic Search, MongoDB, Redis, Terraform, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) -- primarily SQS, SNS, S3, Lambda, and EC2, as well as continuous integration with Jenkins.

Part of an agile, Scrum-based development team responsible for Virtualize -- a product that can create, deploy, and manage simulated test environments for software development and testing of varying SOA-based architectures. Responsibilities include primarily Java development, including Eclipse platform programming, RESTful API development, working with varying transport and messaging protocols, and web-based front-end development in JavaScript/AngularJS. Further responsibilities include customer support and interaction, as well as developing and maintaining automated performance and load testing, and nightly regression testing for functional and unit tests.

Part of an agile, Kanban-based development team, worked on full stack development of a system responsible for the modernization of a legacy mainframe system that calculated residuals payments against contracts for employees of broadcasted entertainment projects. The system made use of Spring, Hibernate, Mule ESB, Enterprise Java Beans, JBoss container, Oracle database and Drools rule engine. Its goal was to ingest flat file data of airings in varying formats, in which the data would be persisted in an Oracle database and allowed user manipulation of data through a web-based UI built using JavaServer Faces(JSF)/PrimeFaces.

On an agile Scrum-based team responsible for development, testing, maintenance and monitoring of a REST-based transactional API that is the backbone for the Ticketmaster and Live Nation mobile applications for ticket sales of entertainment events. The API was written in Java, using Spring, Hibernate, and running on Tomcat servers. The API was responsible for doing service orchestration amongst Ticketmaster legacy systems that are also fronted by REST APIs using JSON. Also responsible for API documentation, scripting tasks, performance monitoring, and testing.

As part of the Mission Systems organization, worked on the SOSCOE (System of Systems Common Operating Environment) initiative for the FCS (Future Combat Systems) program , which became the BCTM (Brigade Combat Team Modernization) program. Was responsible for designing and implementing a generic architecture to provide interoperability with NCES (Net-Centric Enterprise Services). The design involved exposing applications running on the FCS tactical network as SOAP Web Services described in WSDL to the DoD enterprise (via UDDI), and consuming SOAP web service applications from the DoD enterprise within the tactical domain. The architecture, built using C++ and Java J2EE components, absolved developers of tactical services and clients from dealing with Web Services specific technology, by providing development-level tools, such as a code generator, deployer, and service container. Served as a technical lead over six developers and two subcontractors. Managed subcontracts, participated in concept studies, responsible for the acquisition of new subcontractors and software.

Part of an internal research and development team, responsible for the research, design (UML), specification, and code development of software architectures promoting the facility of interoperability and ad-hoc discovery of disparate tactical platforms within networked environments at an enterprise level, with a focus on web-services (WS) based service-oriented architectures (SOA). The code development was done in Java, and made use of such protocols as SOAP, UDDI, Jabber/XMPP, and SIP. Responsibilities also included research and development into the design of P2P (Peer-To-Peer) Overlay and Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs).

As part of the AIS (Advanced Information Systems) organization, responsible for various software related tasks, including researching new and evolving software development methods, composing and revising training courses for Integration and Test engineers, and developing applications for inter-department productivity needs.

Responsible for the design of various custom web-based e-commerce applications (B2B, B2C) primarily using J2EE (JSP and Servlets), Perl, MySQL and SQL Server RDBMS, for both Windows and UNIX platforms. Emphasis on server-side programming, such as online catalog and shopping cart systems, as well as thin-client/thick-server web-based content management systems (CMS). Tasks also included system administration and customer support.
