Software Engineer Manager / Team Lead

• Jan 2022 - Sep 2023

I was hired as a manager of software engineering/team lead, specifically over our client-facing products. The company is a startup, and immediately after getting hired, the company had a massive need to get its data cleaned up. A few other engineers and I had database experience, so we volunteered to take on the project of cleaning up the data. This responsibility was outside what I was hired to do, but I was happy to do it, and the company needed it done.

A few other engineers and I had database experience, so we volunteered to take on the project of cleaning up the data. This responsibility was outside what I was hired to do, but I was happy to do it, and the company needed it done. We were able to clean up four major databases with 100,000+ rows of data. We were able to merge data from spreadsheets and other databases into one single source of truth without having any outages or corruption of data. Our team saved the company and allowed another team to get hired and trained to take the project over so we could go back to doing product engineering.

I have taken several opportunities to lead many high impacting projects. These projects have ranged from taking our website and converting it into a PWA that works exceptionally well on mobile devices all the way to getting off flash and using WebRTC for our video streaming. Both of these projects allowed me to dive into cutting edge technologies such as WebRTC, MediaDevices, web notifications, sockets, and offline functionality that gave our application an amazing experience for both clients… Show more I have taken several opportunities to lead many high impacting projects.

What I loved about these projects is that I was able to spend time up front "sharpening the saw" by planning and architecting out how everything would flow together before jumping into the code. I loved seeing these projects have a direct impact on the company's revenue. Show less I have taken several opportunities to lead many high impacting projects.

Coming to Career Step has been a fun adventure. My core role is to help transition the legacy code from PHP to a clean separated backend/front end setup. The stack of choice is the MEAN stack with the M being MySql. The server will be a pure REST API server allowing the company to start expanding into the mobile realm. By transitioning the company to a pure Javascript stack will allow the developers to be able to quickly jump into any area. Coming to Career Step has been a fun adventure.

Since being at NuSkin I have been privileged to lead the development on several web and mobile applications. The largest application I led was Volumes and Genealogy. We were tasked to take an application that had been around for 16 years and rewrite it from the ground up using modern tools such as angular. The application's purpose is to give distributors a place to go and see how they are doing and their downline. The rewrite took a year to complete and was recognized by the entire company as… Show more Since being at NuSkin I have been privileged to lead the development on several web and mobile applications.

The application's purpose is to give distributors a place to go and see how they are doing and their downline. The rewrite took a year to complete and was recognized by the entire company as the new standard to write web applications. During this time NuSkin made moves towards having a mobile version of Volumes and Genealogy. I was able to play a big role in evangelizing and teaching developers about Ionic. Now all mobile apps done by NuSkin are Hybrid Ionic/Cordova apps. By using Ionic/Cordova we were able to save the company hundreds of thousands of dollars. We were able to develop for iOS and Android with one code base and we were able to have our current web developers build them out without having to hire new employees.

I am both a Front End and Back End developer. So far, my most notable accomplishment while working for Kingsley Management has been developing out their entire Human Resource System. The system keeps track of all 100+ employees documents, sick/vacation time, permissions, and optional documents. This tool also has a limited view to anyone within the company who does not have advanced rights. Their view is limited to only seeing a persons name, location and emergency contact information to serve… Show more I am both a Front End and Back End developer.

Their view is limited to only seeing a persons name, location and emergency contact information to serve as a company directory. I have also developed out a document tracking system for all tenants who live in a Kingsley living location. The system checks to see if a tenant has completed all necessary contracts. If a tenant has not completed all contracts, an email is sent off to their managers prompting them to get these documents from the tenants. Show less I am both a Front End and Back End developer.

My projects with ICS were done on the website LDS.org. My responsibilities were to keep the site bug free and to develop new innovative ways of searching through mass amounts of information and delivering that information to the user quickly. Another responsibility was to be able to take information from the users and to store the information in a manner where it could be retrieved quickly.
