* Developed initial edge server for Rust for high scale WebRTC-based greenfield media platform* Provided guidance on patterns and practices for a team learning Rust* Performed profiling analysis and drove performance improvements in the OpenTelemetry Rust project, resulting in a 90% reduction of CPU time for recording metrics.* Defined architecture and built out brand new systems to take Azure pricing data hosted within the Azure.com marketing site into scalable and efficient data pipelines and new API services, allowing real time updates of Azure prices for the marketing site and Azure Pricing calculator.* Performed many optimizations to make the customer and developer experienced better for the Azure marketing site.* Performed many optimizations to make the customer and developer experienced better for the Azure marketing site,

* Analyzed existing systems to make platform level architectural advancements that increased system stability, simplified development workflows, enhanced testability, and allowed scaling up the customer base while decreasing costs.* Prototyped and defined practices for how existing systems should be refactored or new systems created to ensure consistency and high quality software production.* Mentored off-shore developers as needed which raised code quality for the whole organization.

* Architected and organically built out scalable, global, and highly-available video infrastructure supporting video ingestion, transcoding, distribution, and archival services. Video infrastructure was controlled by custom built command and control infrastructure backend services utilized by multiple consumer facing platforms.* Developed backend services in C# that facilitated user workflows for the Joicaster and Switchboard Cloud products which provided users with simple and seamless integration with third party video platforms, and coordinated user actions with the video command and control infrastructure.* Successfully worked with Azure, AWS, and GCE to scale out our web and video infrastructure, utilizing a wide band of their offerings including data storage services (Azure tables, queues, and blobs; Aws s3), websites, docker, load balancing, and virtual machines.* Put together processes and tooling to gain insight across all of our web sites, server software, and databases to quickly identify and remedy bugs, performance issues, and user workflow confusion.* Managed a team of 2 other developers to expand out the engineering efforts, acting as a mentor, architecture lead, and pioneered many aspects of the development workflow (including code reviewing, automated testing, continuous integration and engineer focused deployment) .* Developed proof of concept RTMP live streaming media servers in Elixir and Rust, allowing the ingestion and redistribution of live video.* First non-founder and active participant in the Techstars 2016 Cloud program

Design and development of software solutions for the sports industry, energy industry, and beyond.

* Designed and developed enhancements for the company's queue based distributed payments platform, which added new features as well as enhancing the platform’s testability, transparency, and increased developer productivity. Also created scripts and set up infrastructure to run automated end-to-end integration tests.* Created web based tools to display analytics from Splunk for business analysis* Developed Powershell tools which streamlined the development workflow, including allowing headless testing and interaction with the core web service platform, as well as making MSMQ queue exploration and interaction easier.* Determined key metrics to identify low quality / high risk areas of the code base and worked with the team to implement processes to increase the quality of those key areas* Acted as the liaison between our team and management in communicating and setting quality expectations.

* Managed a team of 4 developers and 1 QA which successfully enhanced functionality in existing products as well as developed new Windows 8.1, iOS, and Html 5 applications.* Successfully implemented C# coding guidelines, code review practices with Review Assistant, source control and deployment processes (using SVN initially and TFS), and TFS continuous integration for the team.* Researched and developed initial architecture for Html 5 single page application used for the company's expansion products, as well as designed a system to mock out webservice calls for fast UI prototyping.* Acted as product owner for the Html 5 and iOS expansion project by defining feature sets, user workflows, working with the team to whiteboard and research user experiences in comparable applications, generating requirements, and assigning out work to developer for two week sprints. Worked closely with executive leadership on a regular basis to ensure the project's success.* Developed the core portions of the Windows 8 application including the local caching system and advanced video player functionality. Acted as the liaison between development team and Microsoft to prototype features and user experience to get the application to be a part of Microsoft's Windows 8 marketing program.* Developed over 30 brand new DotNetNuke modules including an article publishing suite, cloud based image management system, and a full functioning auction system. * Developed WCF services to feed video, article, and image data into the Google Search Appliance and to provide abstracted web services to facilitate faceted full text searching of that data and architected later migration to Solr.* Put in place a usage analysis systems with Logstash, Kibana, ElasticSearch and some custom log parsing utilities which gave management core information on how users actually used our products and S3 utilization on a per customer basis.

* Architected the automated testing strategy and tools used for nightly and on-demand build verification. Toolset consisted of a GUI for step-based test plan creation, a web server for uploading and scheduling automated test plans, and scalable server for running the test plans unattended. This system successfully caught many major and minor defects the evening they were introduced allowing for quicker resolution and a more stable product.* Developed an automation framework that decreased the time it took to code and maintain test scenarios from days to hours.* Collaborated with development managers, quality assurance manager, and customer service to design a hotfix management system that reduced the overhead of keeping track of production down issues, the development of fixes, and the approval and release of fixes, which allowed the company to respond to critical issues faster.* Worked with personnel from all departments to develop a web-based tool suite that streamlined management and quality assurance processes, and allowed for better information sharing throughout the company. Some tools in the suite include a release management system, a knowledge base system, a manual test case repository, a build deployment/verification system, and development branch management tools.* Developed and utilized tools to make testing reports and data conversion quicker and more accurate.* Lead manual testing and test case development efforts for core business systems under new development.* Efficiently managed workload between automated test development/maintenance, new tool development, manual testing, and writing manual test plans with little to no oversight.
