Led multiple scrum teams (30+ people) at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to modernize a suite of systems responsible for document generation and template management capabilities. Served as the primary thought leader, driving the conceptualization, requirements, and architecture while communicating a compelling vision and ensuring alignment with organizational goals and client expectations• Modernized a document generation engine through multiple architectural iterations – from a legacy vendor product to a containerized Spring Boot microservice• Developed a plugin capability to allow different segments of document content to be coded, built, and deployed independently of the main engine, with the main engine registering the content at runtime• Led the development of a Spring Boot/React application to allow document authors to manage template content directly, bypassing the development cycle and reducing time to market• Led the creation of a Spring Boot/React application field users can enter data and generate letters and other documents. The application presented a dynamic UI based on the template metadata. This application in turn used the document generation engine to create a PDF and used Camunda to manage a workflow for storing the generated document and updating several other systems with data about the generated document• Established guidelines, best practices, and standards for development teams, including automated testing• Worked with platform engineering and operations teams to set up CI/CD pipelines and other procedures to manage the deployment of releases to multiple Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service clusters• Provided mentorship and technical guidance to junior team members, contributing to their professional growth, and enhancing overall team capabilities. I guided several developers as they matured from junior/mid positions into capable team leaders
