My team built a platform-agnostic, Kubernetes-based PaaS, in AWS, using Vault, Artifactory, Cloudbees Core (Jenkins), Splunk, AquaSec, with a custom client toolchain (similar to Tilt or Skaffold) that simplified builds, deployment, security scanning, monitoring and troubleshooting, compliance, and encapsulated the bank’s required processes and policies. This replaced a prior paradigm that developers described as “soul crushing”, and developer productivity and happiness skyrocketed.This required building relationships, reputation, and trust across the bank to implement an overhaul of security architecture, processes, and culture. We've made great progress toward enabling modern DevOps, continuous deployment, infrastructure-as-code, microservices, and increased developer autonomy and accountability.

ZoomInfo was a spin-off from Corex/CardScan. I lead ZoomInfo’s B2B product team in its startup days, acting as product owner, system architect, and general manager for the product. We transformed ZoomInfo’s MVP web application into a best-in-class tool which was, at the time, used by more than 20% of Fortune 500 recruiters and generated the bulk of the company’s revenue.

In the early days of PDAs and Palm Pilots, CardScan was a popular business card scanner for personal and corporate use. I designed and developed front-end web applications including:* CardScan.Net: A web-based contact management tool which automatically synchronized with Corex's flagship product, CardScan.* CustomerBase: An enterprise marketing tool which used CardScan’s technology to create large customer databases, and allows non-technical marketers to create, broadcast, and track rich email campaigns.* AccuCard: An early foray into social networking for business, but as a plugin for Outlook

As creative director in a small full-stack shop, we built some of the earliest web applications for clients including MGM Grand, Bellagio, The Mirage, Park Place Entertainment, Samsonite, and many more.
