Responsible for maturing the software platform of CADDetails, leading team software development processes, ease the use of AI tools into the development stack, modernizing the software architecture, leading cross-pod conversations on features from a product direction and architecture requirements standpoint, and responding to downtime incidents.

Achievements include but are not limited to:

• Introduction of a feature flagging system across the tech stack which led to iterative development on features to create smaller PRs which allowed breaking down tickets into smaller sizes.
• Introduction of an A/B Testing platform which allowed the introduction a process of working with product, analytics, and engineering to have a metrics-based approach to feature development
• Introduction of a pull-request-based development environment CI pipeline with automatic setup and tear-down, eliminating team conversations around artificially scarce development environments, increasing team velocity.
• Introduction of automated deployment pipelines through github releases
• Introduction of a new scheduled task service through the Hangfire library, and led an effort to migrate previously deployed independent windows services to this new auditble scheduled task system.
• Maturing the test suite with PR-based test runs in CI and increasing test coverage, especially in critical areas.
• Increased scalability of CADDetails services by switching from single-node instances for certain services to scalable container apps in azure.
• Full-stack software development in collaboration with product and analytics to refine requirements, especially around technical considerations, and lead architectural decisions to improve CADDetails software maturity. Broke down the work in indepedent tasks to distribute to the team developers, whether it be me or other team members.
• Incident response across DOS attacks, bot scraping, and hotfixes for logic bugs affecting customers.

• Biggest contributor of the backend for a homesharing service to allow home renters to purchase on-demand insurance for their on-demand rentals from services such as AirBnB. Part of the homesharing service is the ability to create your property, it's rental type, define the stays of your guests on a calendar, purchase your stay through a stripe integration, and file a claim if needed. The backend is written in C#, is hosted on EC2 servers on AWS using Event Store as a primary database for the purposes of event sourcing and using dynamodb as a secondary database for lookups and read models
• Developing a service catalog that enables companies to define the insurance products that they want to sell. The primary features of this catalog involve the ability to define the type of service, what is covered, what special requirements must be implemented, and exceptions of what is applied at multiple jurisdictional levels. This service is written in Java using the Spring Framework, using postgresql as the primary database, and liquibase as a database migration framework.
• Expanded the Slice ICS claims system to handle the multiple products, jurisdictions and user roles required for industry compliance and ease of use by claims adjusters, managers and assistants. Working closely with the front-end team and Slice's external partners for requirement negotiations.

• Developped heuristic algorithms for entity extraction (people's names, credit card numbers, phone numbers, time, etc.) implemented as part of a Java Desktop Application.
• Added features and fixed bugs for the web interface of the data analyst of the data collected from the extity extractor. The web interface involved Javascript, Jquery, HTML and CSS.
• Added features to the data collector for Java on Desktop such as cyclical collection (collecting data at defined time intervals). Multithreading in Java was used to accomplish certain features.

• Creation of a low-level C application related to the IP Stack. The application, running on a network's gateway, consists of applying modifications to the packets arriving at a network's gateway based on criteria found in a configuration file. This program is used to create test networks having unstable connections to test how network applications react.

• Creation of online courses in HTML, CSS, and Javascript to train immigration officers. The courses included information on NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) and general information on the admissibility of immigrants.
