I'm a problem solver, a craftsman, a developer, and mentor. I've worked in several industries, from finance to software security, and in several problem domains like high-volume transaction processing systems, legacy modernization, web frameworks, large data analysis, code analysis, and DevSecOps. My passions are in front-end development, gaming, and demystifying technology.
Experience
Senior Software Development Manager
Responsible for the Data Strategy and Audit Intelligence Platforms. We are currently building the future of dealer inventory audits through data analytics to better provide our customers with fast and accurate information on the risk to their portfolios. I have coordinated DataScan’s intern program since 2018, partnering with Georgia Tech to provide students with real-world experience and to foster their passions for software.
Software Development Manager
Led a remote team of seven full-stack engineers at various levels of experience on a tech modernization project to make DataScan’s products cloud ready while re-envisioning the experience for customers. I act as a strong advocate for Continuous Integration with developer tools to ensure quality and consistent release cadence.
Lead Software Developer
Lead UI Engineer responsible for establishing strong CI tool integration for code quality and consistency. Ensuring quality offered me the opportunity to teach fellow developers new technologies, standards, and practices. Time spent mentoring peers developed my passion for coaching and growing talent.
Lead Software Engineer
Lead engineer for Fortify's SaaS Product, Fortify on Demand. I was responsible for design and development of features to manage the state of application security portfolios across 65000 applications and over 20000 users. Within Fortify, I championed code reuse across our various teams to help grow our inner-source initiative through shareable components and libraries. I helped guide the team on our open-source engagement and CI integration for security analysis in its infancy.
Software Engineer
Lead developer of a team striving to implement a new Master Data Management platform to consolidate and validate company-wide data using Postgresql, Spring, and JSF Primefaces. With this new system we were able to implement feature sets from fraud detection and prevention to an easy interface for the user to modify and update records in an understandable and validated UI.
Application Developer
Developed and maintained a legacy high-volume automated policy processing suite interfacing with DB2 Databases, IBM ASM, and COBOL via JNI and CICS. I was involved in several projects to increase straight-through processing to decrease work on the customer and to increase system agility for new product time-to-market.
