      Refactoring fundamental Permissions model for IAM integration - Due to a concern about potential for escalation of privileges, Designed a strategy for changing the way we integrate with our most fundamental dependency. - Required a deep dive into the problem, evaluation of a previously implemented attempt at a solution, which ultimately failed to address the underlying problem, plans for non-breaking migrations, coordination among multiple teams and organizations, fighting for priority on the product roadmap, intervening with ongoing projects to ensure they would be compatible with the changes and prevent blocking their release, and finally, coordinated implementation of the changes which affected code scattered throughout nearly a dozen codebases. Serverless Event Processor - Developed a queue-based event processor backed by serverless AWS Lambda functions in order to respond to AWS Account Change Events. This included retry mechanisms, dead-letter queues, monitoring and alarms. - The real challenge of this project was the coordination of efforts among the many teams involved. AWS is a complex web of inter-dependent microservices. Tracking down the correct source-of-truth, contributing to other team’s libraries which otherwise didn’t quite match our use-case, and coordinating approvals to gain access to other teams’ data were the true tests of this project. Productivity Tooling for Cloud Workplaces - I developed a set of python tools which could be added to the local IDE, which would seamlessly sync with the cloud and run ssh-based cloud compilation within the IDE, Bridging the gap between local and cloud-based development. Clincher for sibling projects - I have a reputation for getting things done fast and well. As a result I was asked to jump in during the last few months of a couple projects which were falling behind schedule. Including Single Sign On via AWS CLI, and a generic Workflow Service built on AWS Step Functions. Show less

      Finalist in the Innovation Challenge: - Our company has adopted microservices, but we have almost zero integration tests between services. As a result, accidental breaking changes are common. - I’ve been leading a team in using code generation from Swagger OpenApi specs to create integration test scaffolding. This framework has already been adopted in new services and has been contributed to well beyond the scope of the original Innovation Challenge. - The impact is greatly decreasing the burden of backfilling missing integration tests in existing systems, and increasing awareness of endpoint coverage in new systems. Leading development of new Care Paths architecture: - Our company is currently reliant on an outside partner to maintain a set of data that is core to our business. This data comes to us in the form of manually managed CSVs, which come with many human-errors and formatting headaches, and have to be heavily massaged to fit our domain. - I’ve been working closely with Product to analyze the needs of our business, in order to simplify the data structure and design the system for maintaining and distributing the data ourselves. This involves both an internal Source of Truth database with a management UI, and shared Elasticsearch projections exposed by an internal microservice. - The impact of this system is to drastically increase the maintainability of the data, give us more control over when/how we publish changes, and to simplify the process of downstream consumers working with the data as it is trimmed down and shaped to fit a model that more closely represents the concepts in our domain.

      • May 2016 - Oct 2017

      - Worked with a variety of clients in a variety of language and technology stacks - Lead discovery sessions, gathered requirements, and formed project estimates. - Collaborated with sales team to engage new potential clients. - Mentored team members in general development principles and best practices. - Identified architectural issues which were the root cause of major code quality and productivity issues for an iOS application being developed by a large geographically distributed team of over 30 developers. Used Ruby scripts and the XCode build system to automatically migrate over 40 needlessly separate Swift and Objective C packages into a single cohesive codebase, reducing merge conflicts, coordination issues, team segregation and testing difficulty. - Helped a startup client learn to focus on iterative development towards an MVP. De-spaghetti-ified the Rails codebase by gradually refactoring ambiguous code and forming a more cohesive and accurate domain model. Worked with the client to define and evolve a consistent ubiquitous language which drastically clarified both the code and the requirement gathering sessions. Show less
