Prior to that I spent time architecting and developing a custom data analytics platform that ingests, processes, and visualizes a wide variety of social media, open source, and enterprise data to produce business insights for agency clients. I was the technical director/architect leading development teams to create many Drupal 7, 8, & 9 and WordPress CMS websites. Along with that I spent time developing database backed enterprise class web and social media applications to support interactive brand marketing initiatives for a variety of companies and organizations such as Bayer, ConAgra Foods and Sherwin-Williams.Primary Technologies used: Python, Pandas/NumPy/Scikit-Learn, Tableau, Google Data Studio, Java, Spring, Hibernate, Javascript (jQuery, D3.js, AngularJS, Node.js), Elasticsearch. MySQL, MS SQL, Drupal, WordPress Show less

I managed the Application Services engineering team directing the design and development of private partner and public APIs. The APIs were used to expose the Zavers digital incentive management engine functionality for internal and external application development. I also led the development of a time based regression data simulation tool.

I was responsible for capturing project requirements from clients and internal stake holders and leading teams of developers to turn the requirements into well architected software, database designs, and technical solutions. Most recently I have been the Senior Technical Architect for a large quick service restaurant client. My significant accomplishments for them included: technical design and development of their marketing website and database; design and development of their cause marketing initiative site; the creation of reloadable value card registration services and reload rewards program using triggered communications for inactivity reminders, reload reminders, and rewards emails using FirstData and ExactTarget APIs; building a one million plus member database for a one-to-one customer communication and loyalty program; designed and implemented locator mapping services using the MapQuest Advantage API; and created various promotion based games and micro-sites . I also created the initial prototype for their franchise intranet portal system.Additional significant accomplishments included the creation of an online charitable giving system that captures non-profit organization profile information into a database and allows donors to research nonprofits and make online donations from either their donor controlled fund accounts or credit cards. This was deployed to multiple community foundations across the country. It required the solution to be flexible enough to work on both MS Windows servers (IIS/MS SQL) as well as Unix based severs (Apache/PostgreSQL) and required an architecture that allowed for significant variations in legacy system integration. Primary Technologies: Java, JSP, JavaScript, jQuery, Spring, Hibernate, Spring Security (ACEGI), MS SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, XML, SOAP, REST, JSON, Apache Web Server, Tomcat App Server, IIS, SVN, ANT, JUnit, Eclipse.
