Extremely hands on architect, but will sit on my ivory tower if needed. I am always deep into the code and architecture, paving the path for our sprint teams and evolving and mindful of our enterprise architecture road map Oversaw the performance, stability, security and moving the current Ventiv platform forward using the latest and most innovative design practices including Native Cloud Architecture to ensure a true enterprise platform that will meet all the current and future business demands coming from a quickly growing organization. Performed a systematic untangling multiple large ball of mud architectures to decentralized, decoupled, and distributed architecture using micro-services. Applying the strangler pattern to identify domain driven design service with bounded contexts and moving these dockerized independent services to an orchestration tool like Kubernetes. Daily mentoring and guiding existing teams into the most appropriate solution for any issue and new features. I setup training session with L1-3 support personnel to expand their technical knowledge. Reported directly to the CIO and give project updates and statuses in less technical language to upper executives, product owners, and project managers. Discuss issues with customers and debug live situations and produce a quick and long-term solutions. Customer retention and reducing churn is a remarkably high priority in my day-to-day work. Answering RFPs, providing estimates for implementation, developing proof of concepts.

Core Responsibilities:Extremely hands on with all current development initiatives Full development lifecycle involvement from requirements gathering to production support Interact with quality control, product owners, business/clinical analyst, marketing, C-Level executives Author technical and application design documents, effective communication skills Collaboratively implement initiatives to move forward our current system architecture that will improve overall design, security, performance and scalability across our entire platform Design and develop core large scale SPA web application using GWT / GXT / WebRTC with various JavaScript libraries, RESTful service layer with Spring/Hibernate Systematically decompose a monolithic code base into independent de-coupled bounded modules. Incrementally preparing for a potential full Micro-Service Architecture Manage initiatives to Dockerize current system cloud deployments with RancherOS orchestrated by Kubernetes Iteratively shard a relational database to form a polyglot persistence model with DynamoDB Redis Implementation in progress to form a Cashing/Pub Sub Layer Design architecture and development plans to move our current WebRTC platform to a Unified Communications Platform with full SIP, M323 interoperability Development and continued maintenance of native iOS, macOS, Win32/C Sharp Windows applications and services Develop internal JavaScript Libraries, integrating with external JS Libraries Develop Visca Camera control libraries over COM serial interface B2B RESTful and Soap integrations Very familiar with Tomcat 7,8 servlet container setup
