As this year of personal development starts drawing to a close, I am finishing my focus on enhancing my technical skills in DevOps and cybersecurity. I successfully acquired the CompTIA Security+ certification and am working towards AWS certifications.Key Accomplishments:Certifications: CompTIA Security+ certifiedSkill Development: Proficient in AWS and.

With the job search dragging on through the Summer months. I decided to start writing again. I was inspired by my teenage cousin who has an ambition to be a writer. I also thought I might get into Copywriting on the side. It all started with my poem “Unleash Your Best Imaginary Friend.” One can read the poem my website. It’s my first creative writing in.

After building software for ten years, I wanted to plan and create the context of the quality of a physical product. I started by applying my quality management skills to the design of a “triple” greenhouse. That is a green-colored and ecologically efficient greenhouse to be built in the future. The process of building the greenhouse is not unlike a set of.

• Wrote BDD style acceptance tests for Jumpcloud's LDAP offering; testing the service until the launch of the MVP.
• Created test plans for the platform team that resulted in product validation.
• Performed tests which resulted in bugs found before the product releases.
• Trained QA team members in automation techniques; so I could be placed on the Data Engineering team.
• While we dismantled a monolithic piece of code, aided team in testing broken out components; LDAP and system data, for customer devices.
• Moved to Data Engineering team with the system data offering; resulting in knowledge transfer and validation of new code.

• Used python to implement scripts for system tests resulting in regression tests that revealed some flaws in the product.
• Identified the source of errors from Kubernetes pod outages resulting in missing M3U8 data resulting in fixing the configuration.
• Another, more difficult, bug involved intermittently missing metadata which was fixed using information from one of my scripts.
• Tested restful API using scripts that verified station ids returned an expected status code resulting in scripts that were used to as regression tests.

Philadelphia, PA, US

• Extensive manual testing according to the player platform team’s test plan resulting in robust code.
• Gained familiarity and grasped how to further automate the testing process allowing me to shift from QA to SDET role.
• Wrote and developed Android wrapper for an Automated Test environment creating API controller for devices.
• Created an IR control for Set Top boxes; 2X less expensive than competition.
• Temporary scrum master of a growing team of engineers reached minimum viable product in 4 sprints.
• Wrote a proxy server that validates data sent by the player platform team.

• Designed Selenium tests for the CMS (Configuration) for an Android based Wi-Fi phone system the result was a test plan left with the engineering team.
• Started to develop a personal interest in BDD particularly Cucumber wrote a GUI using BDD principles.

• Solving software problems from around the globe in a competitive marketplace I was able to satisfy my customers software needs.
• Designing an Android mobile phone app to categorize a user’s movements I created an innovative pedometer and push-up counter.
• Implemented the Flipboard library for a client’s Android app: creating the page flipping animation
• Sliced new user interfaces onto a client’s Android app to match the UI design for an app that was released on the play store.
• Created a front-end Kotlin based UI for my own open source software which I maintain for the purpose of my education.

Denver, Colorado, US

• Automated QA testing with Selenium which created their first automated tests.
• Used Cucumber BDD to create an Oauth implementation on Google App Engine.
• Used Django and Jinja2 with Google App Engine on the Google Cloud Platform to store important data securely as a backup during a data migration.
• Used Bootstrap to create HTML5 and CSS for the website. I matched previous styles while updating the layout so that it displayed on small screen devices.
• Architect of a mock Data Handler that authenticated with App Engine API this allowed better testing and mocking of important parts of the server.
• Maintained projects in Python2 and used Python3 for new development I was an early advocate for trans-piling to Python3 as Python2 reached end of life.

• Automated 30% of my workload in the first week of the contract, this increased work quality and speed.
• Eliminated manual labor by scripting bulk document downloads with Python. This was the first time the downloads had been downloaded via a script.
• Writing Excel macros, and using Powershell to change file data resulted in the storage of files in an informal database that allowed the avoidance of repetitive work.

• Completed Operations research where I studied the Back Pack problem in depth.
• Completed cryptography and coding, I learned the fundamentals of Information Theory.
• Completed Numerical Analysis and Multivariate Calculus with Lambda Calculus
• Continuing education: High performance Scientific Computing.
• Continuing education: Pattern Oriented Software Architecture w/ Android.
• Continuing education: Creative, Serious and Playful Science of Android Apps.

• Met with clients to negotiate a clear bilateral agreement. Execute that agreement in the form of a high quality software product.
• Broke down and setup computer assets for Transamerica during an inter-office move
