Worked on several projects related to build automation, including proof of concept for a Data Center Inventory Management system. Took over the build operations platform and duties, including maintenance and development of the command line tooling written in Go.

I made significant changes to the order processing system, reducing code duplication and adding more verification of user entered data. I added a system to track updates to customer billing accounts and update our internal records so that automatic re-billing would work seamlessly. I helped implement integration with a third party verification system. I built an on-deman reporting system to perform business intelligence queries for Marketting and Upper Managment. I researched developing a graph oriented data-store linking potentially hundreds of millions of records based on latent semantic criteria. Finally I introduced modern Perl frameworks such as Moose, and DBIx::Class into the development process, and migrated the code source control system from Subversion to Git. I assisted developers on getting up to speed with the new systems and technology.

Worked on large Catalyst and DBIx::Class based websites, and developed back end applications for off line processing using Moose and POE.
