Mainly working with with Spark + Scala and "Big Data" processing. Successfully dropped our team's AWS costs by +90% (more than $900 a day) by optimizing how we wrote to MongoDB. Re-built our application to reduce developer overhead allowing us to build our own internal dashboard (using Angular + Springboot) to surface insights into our Spark jobs for not only our tech team, but also our analysts showing them data they never had access to before. Winner of two TechX awards awarded to teams across the company for Engineering Excellence. One for the cost reductions, and one for the dashboardLed the development of a marketing campaign that sees over a million customer every month receiving emails, letters or website notifications depending on their eligibility and increasing revenue for Capital OneWe also own the full stack / end to end development of our product making sure each line of code is tested, reviewed and deployed to production with as few issues as possible using automated tools like Jenkins to make sure we adhere to enterprise standards and engineering best practices

Built an Angular application that communicated with a SpringBoot / Groovy based RESTful API to surface "big data" stored in a graph DB. This included solving the problem of querying and surfacing a large amount of data to a UI to show a user the most important pieces of data, whilst giving the ability to drill down to more detailsFor the frontend, D3 was used pretty heavily as well as NodeJS + Webpack for building the app, PhantomJS for rendering PDFs to the client and using Bootstrap + SASS to aid with styling. We also used Protractor and Jasmine + Karma for testingFor the backend, to compliment the graph DB, I also worked with ElasticSearch letting us search for our data a little faster and also worked on exposing this search capability to our UI. For backend testing we primarily used JUnit + Cucumber tests

I worked on several different projects with EAI (some at the same time) but primarily working with Angular UIs and working directly with customers to gather requirements and build solutions that met their needs whilst always going the extra mile to provide more than was asked
