Developed from the ground up an expansion of TRIPP's mobile offering by creating product specifications, coordinating with various internal team members including the CEO and CBO, and managing an external development team.Defined project specifications, cost analysis, provided creative input, and managed a team of 5 to develop a storytelling VR experience for the Love Serve Remember Foundation in celebration of Ram Dass and the 50th anniversary of Be Here Now.

- Designed and implemented a feature-set in NodeJs and GraphQL is faciliate audio and video playback in TRIPP's mobile app - Integrated Stripe Checkout and Meta (Oculus) Subscriptions into TRIPP's website and NodeJs backend to allow for payments of TRIPP's key subscription product offerings.- Updated and maintained data analytics platform using Big Query, NodeJs, and Tableau that tracks customer session engagement and key business metrics. This has been used by C-level management to understand the health of the business and raise additional funding.- Created a scheduling system in GraphQL and NodeJs for TRIPP's daily Focus and Calm experiences that required custom interfacing with a unity-based VR client and deployment to a Google Cloud Platform hosted backend.- Maintained and updated Wordpress for TRIPP's website

Led a development team to optimize/refactor core services for migration to Google Cloud, utilizing YAML configuration, Sprint Boot, Java 8, and service oriented architecture. Coordinating with operations team on Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes clusters, and migrating 100s of GBs of data to the cloud.Worked with product directors and C-suite to strategize on and develop anti-fraud features. Collaborated on technical and business requirements/specifications. Coordinated task creation, managed engineering/QA resources by determining short-term and long-term priorities. Reviewed and contributed to SOWs and investment proposals.Defined and implemented process enhancements such as: cadence of service releases with continuous integration and deployment tools, communication between development and product teams through optimization of SCRUM and Kanban workflows, and documentation of best practices for engineering and QA teams.

Designed, built and scaled multiple services for the text+ mobile application with millions of active users. Reduced user account registration response time 10x from 2.5s avg. to < 250ms avg through optimizations with Couchbase integration and usage.Messaging and push: allowing for 10s of millions of inbound and outbound SMS and app-to-app messages daily on text+. SMS services integrating with 3rd party partners via JSMPP, Mule configurations, and ActiveMQ via JMS. Inbound message delivery using an extensible Java web app integrating with Apple Push Notification Service via http/2 and Google Fire Cloud Messaging. Push system integrated with custom VoIP calling platform to facilitate on-demand client SIP registration, helping to optimize mobile phone battery usage.Monetization and billing: mobile client APIs utilizing Spring MVC, JPA, Hibernate, and MySQL. These services process 10s of thousands of credit earning and purchasing actions daily, integrating with 3rd party platforms such as Admob, Google Play, and Apple App Store.Voice call history: supplies mobile clients with RESTful APIs for visual voicemail through a Java application that integrates with Cassandra. The service requires ingesting hundreds of thousands of Call Detail Records (CDRs) per day via JMS and ActiveMQ, persisting data to Cassandra, and pushing information to mobile clients via an internal push service. Time range based APIs are provided to the text+ application, utilizing Redis caching and Cassandra persisted data to optimize response time.

Researched, prototyped, and taught use of Cucumber integration testing framework for automated platform testing of Java web servicesDeveloped administrative tools for Ads team/QA that required querying MySQL databases, using Spring MVC to create a new API, and creating JSP pages that contained simple javascript methods.Added support for new ads platform by augmenting existing RESTful API and creating scripts for inserting values into existing tables.

- Used popular bug tracking software and open source tools(Bugzilla, ActiveMQ) to blackbox test client/server functionality of a mobile application(iOS/Android)- Worked with backend engineers and QA managers to design test case scenarios for new features- Involved with in-development testing of the core backend features of the textPlus application
