I'm the Tech Lead and scrum master on the Search UI Team. I have a fantastic team that works across multiple legacy C# ASP .NET MVC monolith stacks that we are tech transitioning to micro services. The new stacks are built using Behavior Driven Design in Node and deploy as Fargate ECS Tasks in AWS (previously deployed in a k8s cluster). The primary Search Results UI stack uses isomorphic code to preserve SEO value while also supporting SPA behavior like using AJAX to load the next page of search results and push state to update the browser history.Tech transitioning the monolith stacks has been an awesome opportunity and adventure in architecting the replacement micro service stacks. Nodejs has proven to be excellent for this as it is perfectly suited for Async I/O which front end stacks are all about. The new stacks are parallelized as much as possible and are incredibly performant with a small resource footprint and can scale in and out within seconds. During the tech transition I also designed new restful urls with human readable / SEO friendly url search paths and parameters.For a few years I also managed an offshore Ukrainian team building out a new Search Form Service as part of the company's move to Service Oriented Architecture. I designed this new service to have excellent performance, cacheability, and maintainability with very high code coverage.Other Accomplishments- Presented at the Ancestry Developer Conference on Why, When, & How to Log Errors- Created Error Portal used by the Engineering & Operations for years followed by a Kibana Error Dashboard & later a New Relic Error Dashboard- Wrote detailed documentation on Best Practices for ASGs in AWS including using Lifecycle Hooks, setting alerts when EC2s become unhealthy, and using EC2 Healthchecks- Created the Ancestry User Authentication Node Module used by all Frontend teams- Created the Ancestry Request Node Module also used by all Frontend teams

Lead engineering on a new exciting iPad app named "iPB-Nexus". I was Team Lead on the project managing five developers while also being very involved with the design of the app, graphic resources, and testing. The app is written in Objective C and communicates using an in-house protocol to work with the iPB-10, a guitar multi-effects processor. To learn more about the app visit http://www.digitech.com/en-US/softwares/ipb-nexus or see it on the Apple App Store.Effectively hired and managed a contractor to aid my team in development.Used Agile practices, Scrum, for development.

Developed an enterprise web console using namely C#, ASP .NET 2.0, WCF, Javascript, and JQuery. The console features a rich client experience bringing the Web 2.0 experience.Wrote extension framework for 3rd party plug-in integration.Setup msi build process for deploying web console and test related resources on servers.Successfully aided 3rd parties to integrate into the Symantec Management Platform and the web console.Lead engineering for the visual studio integration for the Symantec Management Platform SDK. This includes overhauling the wizard framework, adding right click actions to projects simplifying integration points, and writing code in both WISE and WIX for generating msi’s.Worked with chief architects in designing the latest Altiris Agent Plug-in code.Wrote internal tool to manage and edit changes to the Symantec Management Platform documentation which consisted of thousands of documents. The tool has source control integration with visual cues, is multithreaded to not hinder the UI while updating state, and includes integration with other tools including a code highlighter, a WYSIWYG editor, and Sandcastle.Wrote a dynamic testing framework for testing in house ASP .NET webcontrols. The framework determines what web controls are on a page, the state they are in, and how to test them based off their server side state. This provided a flexible and more maintainable solution to testing as any url could be consumed by the framework. The tool was written with C# and used Selenium and Reflection to perform the testing.Created and administrated the Developer Portal for the Symantec Management Platform. This includes having created C# / ASP .NET custom modules for displaying MSDN style documentation hosting over a hundred thousand documents, calendar items using ComponentArt WebControls, embedded videos via an xml transform, streamed downloads with role security assignments, and more.
