Experience

Senior Software Engineer

  • Architected platform-wide consolidation effort, assembling presentations, technical specifications, and prototypes to get buy-in from management, resulting in reduced cloud hosting costs, reduced API response time across the board, and the creation of over 1000 integration tests for increased stability.
  • Led development of SaaS web portals, streamlining the management and distribution of subscriptions, licenses, software, and documentation for customers.
  • Designed a relational database schema for legacy cloud platform and after dozens of trials to ensure correctness, migrated all production data from NoSQL Cosmos DB to a PostgreSQL instance with 0% data loss, 100% relational mapping, and less than 1 hour of downtime.
  • Worked closely with Devops team to build out our infrastructure-as-code Terraform implementation, simplifying deployments, future infrastructure updates, and the creation of new cloud environments.
  • Created component library with new design system so that internal teams could build half a dozen applications without ever needing to build components themselves.
  • Implemented a web-based version of a desktop visual programming tool which enabled the company's new web apps to render no-code solutions without needing to install legacy software.

Software Engineer

  • Developed real-time web app that provided accurate satellite internet quality information based on FAA flight plans or the live trajectory of aircraft, allowing customers to avoid or plan for internet outages.
