Hired to lead a team developing a new integration with a third-party platform. Work included spearheading efforts to bring a new Go microservice from ideation to release, using AWS EKS, CDK, Docker, and Helm, with a Jenkins-based automated release pipeline. Initiated and facilitated architectural conversations while managing requirements and coordinating development efforts with stakeholders both inside and outside the company. Simultaneously pioneered development of a new build flavor for an existing mobile application, targeting a new platform and incorporating dependencies from the Android Automotive OS. Personally performed discovery efforts, while disseminating learnings to product and other engineers.

Android Developer on agile squad focused on feature development. Worked with cross-platform native engineers in both Scrum and Kanban methodologies. Led development on multiple features; participated in contract negotiation, requirements gathering, and architectural discussions. Produced documentation and mentored junior engineers.While at eBay, I've hosted and led a weekly developer book club covering seminal books and historical papers on the history, theory, and practice of software engineering. I've worked with developers in and outside my team to implement best practices based on solid—and SOLID—principles. We've worked to maintain good test coverage, automated and instrumented according to a 70-20-10 testing pyramid, and explored new feature development using bleeding-edge technologies like Jetpack Compose and GraphQL. All new development has been done in Kotlin, with MVVM or MVVM + C architecture.
