- Key individual contributor and later promoted to technical leader of the Content (IP) Rights area. - Shortened product delivery lead times and increased deployment frequency by emphasizing clean code practices, continuous delivery and DevOps best practices. - Developed computation-intensive algorithms using Java’s concurrency SDK to manage rights for intellectual property. The output from this system drove scheduling, content management and DRM tooling.- Modernized legacy systems… Show more - Key individual contributor and later promoted to technical leader of the Content (IP) Rights area. - Shortened product delivery lead times and increased deployment frequency by emphasizing clean code practices, continuous delivery and DevOps best practices. - Developed computation-intensive algorithms using Java’s concurrency SDK to manage rights for intellectual property. The output from this system drove scheduling, content management and DRM tooling.- Modernized legacy systems to service-oriented architectures. Worked through challenges such as monoliths, data leaks, legacy integrations and security gaps by adopting various design patterns. Show less

Developed the in-house Undergraduate Admissions System used by university administrators. Smart, automatic applicant scoring while keeping students’ data secure were some of the key features.

Implemented business applications that provided a Global Production Chain overview by connecting to bottling plants in Japan, Brazil and Argentina. The backend included an integration with SAP using IBM connector middleware (Java). The frontend was highly internationalized with locale-specific language, currency, date/time etc.
