In a technical leadership capacity, I undertook significant initiatives that: showcased my expertise in orchestrating successful program expansion; optimized operational efficiency; and provided high impact code.I led the design work which successfully scaled the pilot internal transfers program to encompass all corporate job roles across the United States and Canada, resulting in increased participation and buy-in from employees. This product has facilitated tens of thousands of transfer conversations and costs less than $0.26 cents per user.Contributed extensively to the success of a large-scale monolithic deprecation project. Collaborating closely with multiple Principal Engineers and numerous Senior Engineers, I played a pivotal role in this endeavor. Simultaneously, I provided mentorship to a junior engineer, guiding them through the intricacies of our portion of the project and ensuring their growth and learning. Finalized the deprecation two microservices resulting in an annual savings of $30,000.Delivered impactful code changes that precipitated shifts in end-to-end testing strategies and implementations, leading to enhanced testing coverage, reliability, and overall software quality.

In this role, I played a pivotal role in transforming internal operations by spearheading the creation and launch of multiple products using AWS technologies including Smithy, Lambda, and DynamoDB, and adhered to RESTful design principles, resulting in a scalable and robust systems.I led the engineering effort to pilot-test and implement a groundbreaking portal for confidential career discussions among Amazonians, resulting in increased employee satisfaction and retention. I contributed to initiatives that significantly optimized cost efficiency, including the retirement of seven legacy microservices that collectively incurred a monthly expense of $12,000, replacing them with a streamlined Lambda microservice that incurred a mere monthly cost of under $200. I designed and implemented a product to streamline transfer eligibility checks. I also dedicated time to mentor a fellow engineer, guiding them in successfully conceptualizing and implementing a rules engine, essential for enforcing dynamic data schemas within foreign keyed data structures.My passion was to champion the advancement of automated testing techniques by sharing new methodologies with peers, leading to significant improvements in testing processes and team adoption of specification test patterns.

As a Software Engineer I primarily worked on components of the retail webpage (amazon.com) specific to Amazon Devices.Delivered a project to reduce inventory costs by 20MM yearly through virtual inventory comingling by dynamically bundling hardware and device configuration in cart. This service successfully processed every Amazon order worldwide in real time for less than $14 per month.Improved developer efficiency by onboarding with Docker based tooling. This allowed engineers to run integration tests locally there by improving change confidence and reducing the number of defects occurring in deployment.

As a lead engineer I was responsible for overseeing architectural design of the whole product, as well driving strategic features and initiatives. Successfully spearheaded the restructuring of the code base, reducing build times (from hours to minutes), deployment times, and package sizes by multiple orders of magnitude. Personally removed 750k lines of code while adding only 250k a single quarter, leading to increased efficiency and a more streamlined development process. Migrated code base to single repository model and decreased solution size from over 500 projects to under 380 by removing duplicate code.Developed a Roslyn based plug in for Visual Studiothat provided custom code fixes specific to Incode 10. This allowed the Personel team to remove over 6000 source files from application and improve intellisense response times. Prior to this fix opening any source file in visual studio would cause thelaptop perfomance to slowly degrade and eventually halt.

As a Technical Lead for the Incode 10 Financials group, oversaw multiple teams (Payroll, Financials, and Architecture) and focused on delivering high-value strategic features. Continuously advocated for development best practices, and provided training to team members in new technologies and best development practices, resulting in a more efficient and effective development process.Led the way in implementing automated testing and continuous integration practices, assisting multiple teams on the Incode 10 product in moving from no testing to thousands of unit tests on complex legacy systems, improving overall code quality and system stability.Lead efforts to transition the product to a continuous delivery model and optimize the build pipeline, resulting in faster and more reliable software releases and increased customer satisfaction.

Incode 10 Personnel. Optimized in house data access layer and improved performance on large data sets by 1300%. Delivered and optimized a budget project module capable of estimating city budgets over decades with better performance than payroll calculations.Scripted installation of all developer tools from local network folders. Reduced new laptop configuration from days to 2 hours.

Incode 10 Financials, worked as an IC with a passion for build tooling. Reduced daily bootstrap time for remote offices from 45 minutes to 2 minutes by creating a distributed build system. Developed custom python scripts to automate repository migrations.Documented new hire onboarding process, reducing laptop setup times from one week to just days.

Las Cruces, Nm, Us

Worked collaboratively with University Faculty to define Computational Thinking(CT), and create framework to assist Graduate Fellows in embedding CT concepts into K-12 lessons. Developed training workshops targeted at participating public school teachers. Worked in one-on-one partnerships with K-12 teachers to enhance and extend K-12 curriculum to include computational thinking. Created material to help K-12 Teachers and Graduate Fellows understand the concepts of CT. Worked with program coordinator to define standards for judging CT in enhanced K-12 material and to refocus much of the guiding documentation and standards for the program.

Java Developer assigned to COMBATXXI project. Worked with issue tracking and bug resolution. Largely independent position, required self motivation and continuing education Personally pushed to improve feedback and verification of software contractually delivered by third parties.

Responsible for the design, development, and deployment of graphical user interfaces for a variety of proprietary embedded telemetering systems. Performed some basic issue tracking and resolution in C/C++ for various firmwares.

Las Cruces, Nm, Us

Responsible for a variety of Windows and Linux systems administration duties. Independent position, helped deploy an internal equipment tracking database management system called GLPI and worked to create business procedures to support the use and maintenance of inventory system. Created dynamic links between parts of the department website (both internal and external), and the equipment tracking system.
