Abruptly joined Software Development Team producing on-site operations scheduling and reporting web application used by 1000+ on-site personnel with no prior web development skills.The application would allow users to interface with SAP with near real-time updates on Workorder, Operation and Notification updates along with custom interface which allowed maintenance mechanics to organize incoming mobile equipment and their respective work with considerations with break-in work.Within 1 month, was able to routinely complete stories to implement new functionality which often includes interfacing with Typescript (React & Redux) and C# REST API’s to fulfill all acceptance criteria for story, resolve bugs affecting both backend and frontend, and increase code maintainability and clarity by refactoring poorly designed components/logic.Participated and lead initiatives to improve application quality such as: enforced unit testing requirements, rigorous code reviews, and refactor legacy functionality to updated architecture (migrate C# to NodeJS, SQL -> CosmosDB) leading to ~50% reduction in breaking bugs.Interacted Microsoft Azure to ensure Web Application and API's were running properly including inspecting/validating environment settings for Serverless Azure Functions, and Web App Services. Utilized Application Insights (Application Map, performance, failures, etc...) to report endpoint consistency and performance which assisted in quantifying performance improvements and identifying further functionality which could be improved. Completed AZ-900 (Fundamentals, 1-Day) Training, AZ-204 (Azure Developer Associate) and AZ-500 (Azure Security Technologies) training with Microsoft
