Identity, authentication, and infrastructure but with added ownership and pizzazz 🚀- Owned critical Java Spring Boot authentication and user management microservices, and their React UIs, including their deployments via AWS ECS & EKS.- Improved customer security posture by engineering custom role solution with granular permission control for fine-grained access.- Led developer experience initiatives, owning Veracode’s internal platform React UI library.- Championed Extreme Programming (XP) practices, consistently engaging in pair programming to bolster code quality and responsiveness to shifting company priorities.- Migrated in-house SAML implementation to Okta SAML- Pulled out core principal authentication process from monolith codebase into dedicated identity microservice.

Identity, authentication, and infrastructure 🚀- Spearheaded the end-to-end Agile SDLC process for our SP-Initiated SAML epic — demoing POC to stake-holders, running user interviews alongside the Technical Product Manager (TPM), and solving critical customer pain points with an early access MVP. - Modernized our GitLab CICD pipeline, enabling us to accrue code quality and test coverage instead of tech debt.- Curtailed a time-sink project by identifying a novel solution utilizing sandboxed JavaScript that saved an estimated 15 engineer-months of effort.- Streamlined new prospect acquisition pipeline by building a Free Trial Offering allowing for seamless new customer onboarding.- Solved a lot of cool problems (please ask me about caching static files on the web).

- Designed a Java-based auditing system to meet SOC compliance, improving readiness for audits and user access traceability for increased accountability.- Entrusted as one of the two primary Code Reviewers/Approvers on a team of talented engineers.- Developed a robust JUnit testing mini-framework, reducing usage of mocks and boosting contractor productivity and code quality.- Modularized Java Faces logic into reusable components.

- Worked Full-time as a Software Engineer Intern for the GE Corporate Identity & Access Management Team.- Owned critical Java Tomcat backend authentication services responsible for millions of entitlements across over a hundred thousand employees, providing access to thousands of individual applications.- Full-stack engineered an interactive Angular web application with a Java backend to display the lifecycle of entitlement requests, which replaced an existing heavily trafficked page.- Utilized AWS Lambda, EC2, and SQS to write integrations between our internal Java authentication service and GitHub & JetBrains TeamCity.- Wrote the technical external documentation with walkthroughs in Confluence for the team's latest product release.- Developed a process in Ruby which periodically backed up production data that is actively in use by the DevOps team in issue tracking and resolution.

I was recommended by the Mathematics & Statistics department faculty to tutor in the Math & Stat Lab on Northern Kentucky University's campus.Experience includes:• Communicating advanced mathematical concepts to a wide variety of people.• Ensuring I stay up to date in my knowledge of calculus and statistics to effectively relay relevant information.

Determined whether NKU's Mathematical Software Programming course (CSC 270) provided sufficient experience to pursue Wolfram's Mathematica certification.• Solved advanced computer science problems using the help documentation for the Mathematica language• Worked with a team comprised of faculty members and a fellow student researcher.• Acquired a certification in Mathematica
