Xup Payments/KeyBank

Senior Software Developer

May 2022 to Present
I returned to work with the team at Xup Payments, now a part of KeyBank, to help build out the next generation of their internal and external facing applications. I am currently working on a project to build out a new API to support the banker's account opening process (SBZ). This project is a C# .NET Core API with a Angular front end, deployed to GCP via Gitlab CI/CD. In addition, I am piloting and evangalizing the use of AI/ML in the organization, working with Core Banking to document legacy COBOL code via my open source project Doc Buddy, and helping to find appropriate use cases for AI/ML within the context of the bank.

Nike

Principal Engineer

March 2022 to February 2023
As a Principal Engineer of DEE (Digital Employee Experience), my time was split between mentoring and independent contributions. I created the Nike Intramurals API; a Typescript TypeGraphQL Apollo GraphQL API executing in AWS Lambda (Node) using MikroORM with an AWS Aurora RDBMS datastore, deployed via Terraform. In addition, I lead the effort to migrate DEE's CI/CD from Jenkins to GitHub Actions, and contributed to many smaller projects including front-end (React) work on Nike internal applications: Timeoff, Highfive, Find, and Zero. In addition, I was the technical consultant on DEE Agency Accelerator, helping various internal clients including Department of Nike Archives (DNA), Nike Comms and Nike Sustainability launch sites developed by partners.

Senior Full Stack Developer

We built Change Healtchare Enrollment Manager; A React based, cloud native application with a Fastify Apollo GraphQL/TypeScript middleware layer powered by Node.js on AWS ECS (Docker). In addition to my role as a developer on both the front-end and middleware projects, I integrated Change Healthcare's enterprise devops (Gitlab and Terraform) system with each project. As the senior developer on the project, I mentored a group of team of super smart developers in the ways of CI/CD, testing, linting and best practices. In addition to the above, this project allowed me to return to my roots as a front-end developer, with responsive web development via media queries, implemented via CSS/SCSS, which I enjoyed tremendously.

Books to Love is a modern reboot of Booksta.sh. Based on Symfony 4, React and GraphQL, backed by MySQL and MongoDB, I created both front-end (HTML5, CSS/SASS) and backend code. Books to Love is deployed as Docker containers via CI/CD (CircleCI) to AWS's ECS/Fargate container orchestration via Terraform. Books to Love derives product data for 3 million Amazon books via Amazon's Product Advertising API, and dual-renders that content via NodeJS on the server and client side React for best SEO.

August 2015 to December 2018
The team I lead at MHE Seattle was responsible for creating and maintaining RESTful APIs and workers that are primarily concerned with ingestion, manipulation and distribution of authored ePub content (textbooks) and serving that content to both authors and students. As a team, we created a collection of dockerized microservices written mainly in PHP (Slim and Symfony), each released via CI/CD (CircleCI/YAML) with IAC (Terraform/Bash) to AWS ECS EC2/Fargate and Lambda (NodeJS) and other AWS technologies. I pushed the team towards best practices of dockerized test driven development, infrastructure as a service and continous delivery.

Booksta.sh was a site for book discovery, at its peak hosting over 3 million books.
